Android RenderScriptIntrinsic Sample
===================================

RenderScriptIntrinsic sample that demonstrates how to use RenderScript intrinsics.
Creates several RenderScript intrinsics and shows a filtering result with various parameters.
Also shows how to extends RedioButton with StateListDrawable.

Introduction
------------

[RenderScript][1] is a framework for running computationally intensive tasks at high performance on Android. RenderScript is
primarily oriented for use with data-parallel computation, although serial computationally intensive workloads can
benefit as well.

RenderScript **intrinsics** are built-in functions that perform well-defined operations often seen
in image processing. Intrinsics provide extremely high-performance implementations of standard
functions with a minimal amount of code.

This sample shows how to access and use the blur, convolve, and matrix intrinsics:

```java
mScriptBlur = ScriptIntrinsicBlur.create(mRS, Element.U8_4(mRS));
mScriptConvolve = ScriptIntrinsicConvolve5x5.create(mRS,
        Element.U8_4(mRS));
mScriptMatrix = ScriptIntrinsicColorMatrix.create(mRS,
        Element.U8_4(mRS));
```

RenderScript intrinsics will usually be the fastest possible way for a developer to perform these operations. The
Android team works closely with our partners to ensure that the intrinsics perform as fast as possible on their
architectures  often far beyond anything that can be achieved in a general-purpose language.
