VkImportAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID

To import memory created outside of the current Vulkan instance from an Android hardware buffer, add a VkImportAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID structure to the pNext chain of the VkMemoryAllocateInfo structure. The VkImportAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkImportAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    struct AHardwareBuffer* buffer;
} VkImportAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID;

• sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
• pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
• buffer is the Android hardware buffer to import.

If the vkAllocateMemory command succeeds, the implementation must acquire a reference to the imported hardware buffer, which it must release when the device memory object is freed. If the command fails, the implementation must not retain a reference.
