These objects are created from Java. You can't create them from a script.
Allocations:
Allocations are the primary method used to pass data to and from RenderScript kernels. They are a structured collection of cells that can be used to store bitmaps, textures, arbitrary data points, etc. This collection of cells may have many dimensions (X, Y, Z, Array0, Array1, Array2, Array3), faces (for cubemaps), and level of details (for mipmapping). See the android.renderscript.Allocation for details on to create Allocations.
Elements:
The term "element" is used a bit ambiguously in RenderScript, as both type information for the cells of an Allocation and the instantiation of that type. For example: The functions below let you query the characteristics of the type specificiation. An Element can specify a simple data types as found in C, e.g. an integer, float, or boolean. It can also specify a handle to a RenderScript object. See @rs_data_type for a list of basic types. Elements can specify fixed size vector (of size 2, 3, or 4) versions of the basic types. Elements can be grouped together into complex Elements, creating the equivalent of C structure definitions. Elements can also have a kind, which is semantic information used to interpret pixel data. See @rs_data_kind. When creating Allocations of common elements, you can simply use one of the many predefined Elements like F32_2. To create complex Elements, use the Element.Builder Java class.
Samplers:
Samplers objects define how Allocations can be read as structure within a kernel. See android.renderscript.S. end: function: rsAllocationGetDimFaces ret: uint32_t, "Returns 1 if more than one face is present, 0 otherwise." arg: rs_allocation a summary: Presence of more than one face description: If the Allocation is a cubemap, this function returns 1 if there's more than one face present. In all other cases, it returns 0. Use @rsGetDimHasFaces() to get the dimension of a currently running kernel. test: none end: function: rsAllocationGetDimLOD ret: uint32_t, "Returns 1 if more than one LOD is present, 0 otherwise." arg: rs_allocation a summary: Presence of levels of detail description: Query an Allocation for the presence of more than one Level Of Detail. This is useful for mipmaps. Use @rsGetDimLod() to get the dimension of a currently running kernel. test: none end: function: rsAllocationGetDimX ret: uint32_t, "X dimension of the Allocation." arg: rs_allocation a summary: Size of the X dimension description: Returns the size of the X dimension of the Allocation. Use @rsGetDimX() to get the dimension of a currently running kernel. test: none end: function: rsAllocationGetDimY ret: uint32_t, "Y dimension of the Allocation." arg: rs_allocation a summary: Size of the Y dimension description: Returns the size of the Y dimension of the Allocation. If the Allocation has less than two dimensions, returns 0. Use @rsGetDimY() to get the dimension of a currently running kernel. test: none end: function: rsAllocationGetDimZ ret: uint32_t, "Z dimension of the Allocation." arg: rs_allocation a summary: Size of the Z dimension description: Returns the size of the Z dimension of the Allocation. If the Allocation has less than three dimensions, returns 0. Use @rsGetDimZ() to get the dimension of a currently running kernel. test: none end: function: rsAllocationGetElement ret: rs_element, "Element describing Allocation layout." arg: rs_allocation a, "Allocation to get data from." summary: Get the object that describes the cell of an Allocation description: Get the Element object describing the type, kind, and other characteristics of a cell of an Allocation. See the rsElement* functions below. test: none end: function: rsClearObject t: rs_element, rs_type, rs_allocation, rs_sampler, rs_script ret: void arg: #1* dst summary: Release an object description: Tells the run time that this handle will no longer be used to access the the related object. If this was the last handle to that object, resource recovery may happen. After calling this function, *dst will be set to an empty handle. See @rsIsObject(). test: none end: function: rsIsObject t: rs_element, rs_type, rs_allocation, rs_sampler, rs_script ret: bool arg: #1 v summary: Check for an empty handle description: Returns true if the handle contains a non-null reference. This function does not validate that the internal pointer used in the handle points to an actual valid object; it only checks for null. This function can be used to check the Element returned by @rsElementGetSubElement() or see if @rsClearObject() has been called on a handle. test: none end: function: rsElementGetBytesSize version: 16 ret: uint32_t arg: rs_element e summary: Size of an Element description: Returns the size in bytes that an instantiation of this Element will occupy. test: none end: function: rsElementGetDataKind version: 16 ret: rs_data_kind arg: rs_element e summary: Kind of an Element description: Returns the Element's data kind. This is used to interpret pixel data. See @rs_data_kind. test: none end: function: rsElementGetDataType version: 16 ret: rs_data_type arg: rs_element e summary: Data type of an Element description: Returns the Element's base data type. This can be a type similar to C/C++ (e.g. RS_TYPE_UNSIGNED_8), a handle (e.g. RS_TYPE_ALLOCATION and RS_TYPE_ELEMENT), or a more complex numerical type (e.g. RS_TYPE_UNSIGNED_5_6_5 and RS_TYPE_MATRIX_4X4). See @rs_data_type. If the Element describes a vector, this function returns the data type of one of its items. Use @rsElementGetVectorSize to get the size of the vector. If the Element describes a structure, RS_TYPE_NONE is returned. Use the rsElementGetSub* functions to explore this complex Element. test: none end: function: rsElementGetSubElement version: 16 ret: rs_element, "Sub-element at the given index." arg: rs_element e, "Element to query." arg: uint32_t index, "Index of the sub-element to return." summary: Sub-element of a complex Element description: For Elements that represents a structure, this function returns the sub-element at the specified index. If the Element is not a structure or the index is greater or equal to the number of sub-elements, an invalid handle is returned. test: none end: function: rsElementGetSubElementArraySize version: 16 ret: uint32_t, "Array size of the sub-element." arg: rs_element e, "Element to query." arg: uint32_t index, "Index of the sub-element." summary: Array size of a sub-element of a complex Element description: For complex Elements, sub-elements can be statically sized arrays. This function returns the array size of the sub-element at the index.
