static final int

Signals that a frame should be ignored.
static final int

Signals a frame should be released immediately.
static final int

Signals a frame should be scheduled for release.
static final int

Signals that a frame should be skipped.
static final int

Signals that a frame should not be released and the renderer should try again later.

Public constructors
