| ↳ | android.os.MemoryFile |
MemoryFile is a wrapper for the Linux ashmem driver. MemoryFiles are backed by shared memory, which can be optionally set to be purgeable. Purgeable files may have their contents reclaimed by the kernel in low memory conditions (only if allowPurging is set to true). After a file is purged, attempts to read or write the file will cause an IOException to be thrown.

MemoryFile constructor.

Enables or disables purging of the memory file.
| allowPurging | true if the operating system can purge the contents of the file in low memory situations |

Closes and releases all resources for the memory file.
Creates a new InputStream for reading from the memory file.
Creates a new OutputStream for writing to the memory file.
Is memory file purging enabled?
Returns the length of the memory file.
Reads bytes from the memory file. Will throw an IOException if the file has been purged.
| buffer | byte array to read bytes into. |
|---|---|
| srcOffset | offset into the memory file to read from. |
| destOffset | offset into the byte array buffer to read into. |
| count | number of bytes to read. |
| IOException |
|---|
Write bytes to the memory file. Will throw an IOException if the file has been purged.
| buffer | byte array to write bytes from. |
|---|---|
| srcOffset | offset into the byte array buffer to write from. |
| destOffset | offset into the memory file to write to. |
| count | number of bytes to write. |
| IOException |
|---|
Called by the virtual machine when there are no longer any (non-weak) references to the receiver. Subclasses can use this facility to guarantee that any associated resources are cleaned up before the receiver is garbage collected. Uncaught exceptions which are thrown during the running of the method cause it to terminate immediately, but are otherwise ignored.
Note: The virtual machine assumes that the implementation in class Object is empty.
