| # Android Vulkan Validation Layers |
| |
| This is a quick guide to get Vulkan validation layers support for a Flutter application. This guide assumes that you've created the application with `flutter create`, otherwise the locations might vary. |
| |
| 1. Download the validation layers from this [GitHub](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/releases) releases. Typically named `android-binaries-1.3.231.1.zip`. |
| 2. When you unzip the file, you will see: `arm64-v8a armeabi-v7a x86 x86_64` |
| 3. Copy these directories to `${FLUTTER_APP}/android/app/src/main/vklibs`. The layout should look similar to: |
| |
| ``` |
| src/main/vklibs/ |
| arm64-v8a/ |
| libVkLayer_khronos_validation.so |
| armeabi-v7a/ |
| libVkLayer_khronos_validation.so |
| x86/ |
| libVkLayer_khronos_validation.so |
| x86-64/ |
| libVkLayer_khronos_validation.so |
| ``` |
| |
| 4. Add the following line to `${FLUTTER_APP}/android/app/build.gradle`, `android > sourceSets` section: `main.jniLibs.srcDirs += 'src/main/vklibs'`. |
| |
| 5. This should enable Vulkan validation layers on your Android application. |
