RS dependent on Dalvik?

134 Views Asked by At

How dependent is Renderscript on the framework being Dalvik or ART?

I was testing a device with 4.4.2 running ART and the app kept crashing. Was only later that I realized it was on ART and switched back to Dalvik. On Dalvik it runs fine.

It's not tied together at all; RS is a Java API (same as any other framework API) that calls into a lower level native driver stack. If you've got an application that works under Dalvik but not under ART, you should file a bug.
