tos case studies events programs documentation android developers design plan app quality technical quality hardware acceleration stay organized with collections save and categorize content based on your preferences the android 2d rendering pipeline supports hardware acceleration meaning that all drawing operations that are performed on the canvas use the gpu because of the increased resources required to enable hardware acceleration your app will consume more ram hardware acceleration is enabled by default if your application uses only standard composables turning it on globally shouldn t cause any adverse drawing effects however because hardware acceleration isn t supported for all of the 2d drawing operations turning it on might affect some of your custom drawing calls problems usually manifest themselves as invisible elements exceptions or wrongly rendered pixels to remedy this android gives you the option to enable or disable hardware acceleration at multiple levels see control hardware acceleration if your application performs custom drawing test your application on actual hardware devices with hardware acceleration turned on to find any problems the support for drawing operations section describes known issues with hardware acceleration and how to work around them also see opengl with the framework apis control hardware acceleration you can control hardware acceleration at the following levels application activity window composable note jetpack compose uis are hardware accelerated by default the control levels in this section apply to all apps including compose apps application level in your android manifest file add the following attribute to the application tag to enable hardware acceleration for your entire application application android hardwareaccelerated true activity level if your application does not behave properly with hardware acceleration turned on globally you can control it for individual activities as well to enable or disable hardware acceleration at the activity level you can use the android hardwareaccelerated attribute for the activity element the following example enables hardware acceleration for the entire application but disables it for one activity application android hardwareaccelerated true activity activity android hardwareaccelerated false application window level if you need even more fine grained control you can enable hardware acceleration for a given window with the following code window setflags windowmanager layoutparams flag_hardware_accelerated windowmanager layoutparams flag_hardware_accelerated note you currently cannot disable hardware acceleration at the window level composable level in compose there is no per composable switch to disable hardware acceleration to render a composable into its own layer use modifier graphicslayer this lets transform properties such as alpha scalex scaley translationx translationy rotationx rotationy rotationz and transformorigin change without rerunning the composable s drawing code for the best performance always use the lambda form of the modifier to set these properties to explicitly force an off screen buffer for advanced drawing operations such as custom blending within the layer use compositingstrategy offscreen for more information see graphics modifiers if you have a custom drawing operation that strictly requires software rendering you can host a legacy view using androidview and call setlayertype view layer_type_software null on that view support for drawing operations when hardware accelerated the 2d rendering pipeline supports the most commonly used canvas drawing operations as well as many less used operations all of the drawing operations that are used to render applications that ship with android standard composables and common advanced visual effects such as reflections and tiled textures are supported the following table describes the support level of various operations across api levels note jetpack compose requires a minimum of api level 21 in the following table drawing operations with a first supported api level of 21 or earlier are universally supported in compose apps ...
