# VkMemoryGetAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkMemoryGetAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID - Structure describing an Android hardware buffer memory export operation

## C Specification

The `VkMemoryGetAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer
    typedef struct VkMemoryGetAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        VkDeviceMemory     memory;
    } VkMemoryGetAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `memory` is the memory object from which the Android hardware buffer will be exported.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkMemoryGetAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID-handleTypes-01882
  VK_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_HANDLE_TYPE_ANDROID_HARDWARE_BUFFER_BIT_ANDROID must have been included in VkExportMemoryAllocateInfo::`handleTypes` when `memory` was created

- VUID-VkMemoryGetAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID-pNext-01883
  If the `pNext` chain of the VkMemoryAllocateInfo used to allocate `memory` included a VkMemoryDedicatedAllocateInfo with non-`NULL` `image` member, then that `image` must already be bound to `memory`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkMemoryGetAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_MEMORY_GET_ANDROID_HARDWARE_BUFFER_INFO_ANDROID

- VUID-VkMemoryGetAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkMemoryGetAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID-memory-parameter
  `memory` must be a valid VkDeviceMemory handle
