Hi folks, is there a way to toggle the
hardwareAcceleratedproperty during an app session i.e. after the app has launched? So for instance if the app is compiled with the value set to"true", I would like to update that to"false"at various points during the app session, and return to"true"at other points. The closest thing I‘ve found is the https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setLayoutDirection(int)|setLayerType function for views, but the docs for https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE|LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE suggest that the behavior of this layer type is affected by whether hardware acceleration is disabled, so it seems that’s not the right way to actually disable hardware acceleration itself.

I interpret that LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE means hardware will be used when painting, assuming hardware is available enabled. If hardware is not enabled or is disabled (via OS settings perhaps) then
LAYER_TYPE_HARDWAREwill behave exactly likeLAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE.In otherwords, if you
setLayerType(LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE)you may not actually get hardware rendering.You can
setLayerType(LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE)and use software based rendering even if hardware is enabled, but this is probably not desirable.
setLayerTypeapi is a little bit more complicated -- it requiresPaintobject, but generally speaking if there is a runtime API, then you can probably implement a plugin to do what you want to do.
