OH_NativeWindow_SetBufferHold()

void OH_NativeWindow_SetBufferHold(OHNativeWindow *window)

Description

Enables the single-frame buffering mechanism, which caches a frame buffer in advance and delays the display of the frame to smooth the frame rate fluctuation.

After this function is enabled, the system caches a frame buffer, and the frame is displayed one display cycle later. If a long frame or uneven frame interval occurs during subsequent rendering, the cached frame can be used to fill the blank to reduce image freezing.

You are advised to call this function before the rendering peak to establish buffer protection. The buffer takes effect only once. After the buffer is consumed, it automatically becomes invalid. If continuous protection is required, call this function again.

This function is applicable to scenarios that require high frame rate stability, such as games, animations, and complex UI rendering. However, it introduces a frame display delay (for example, 16.6 ms in the 60 Hz refresh rate). Therefore, this function is not recommended in high-interaction real-time scenarios.
This function is not thread-safe.
