VirtualDisplay

public final class VirtualDisplay
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.hardware.display.VirtualDisplay


Represents a virtual display. The content of a virtual display is rendered to a Surface that you must provide to createVirtualDisplay().

Because a virtual display renders to a surface provided by the application, it will be released automatically when the process terminates and all remaining windows on it will be forcibly removed. However, you should also explicitly call release() when you're done with it.

public void setSurface (Surface surface)

Sets the surface that backs the virtual display.
