MemoryFile is a wrapper for SharedMemory which can optionally be set to purgeable. Applications should generally prefer to use SharedMemory which offers more flexible access & control over the shared memory region than MemoryFile does. 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.

Allocates a new ashmem region. The region is initially not purgable.
Params:

Throws:
