Using VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_timeline_semaphore on android with renderdoc about vulkan-extensionlayer HOT 5 CLOSED

@spencer-lunarg I'm not very familiar with Android usage. Do you have advice?

from vulkan-extensionlayer.

So I am going to argue that unless we messed up the way the layer is hooked up, this is not a Vulkan-ExtensionLayer issues.

since the layer isn't globally visible.

I guess I am not sure what that means, if you are packaging the layer with your app (in the same APK) when you run the app (to capture it) it should be visible

How are you enabling the extension in your app? If you are explicit enabling it at VkInstance creation time, I am not sure why RenderDoc would not be able to see it when it runs

this is not a Vulkan-ExtensionLayer issues

I guess that's true but I asked the same question on the renderdoc side and didn't receive a concrete answer. Also since the layer is supported on android there should be a method to perform renderdoc captures even on rooted devices only.

This is what I'm doing (put the compiled layer library in jniLibs). Renderdoc doesn't see it

I'm adding the layer name in ppEnabledLayerNames not sure if there's a more explicit way.

Is this a public issue you asked, can you link it, or if it was a private message put the response here, it might be a valid answer, just might assume more deeper understanding of the Android Layer system

That is the explicit way, just making sure!
