Regarding the use of Asynchronous shared memory (ASHMEM) in android apps written in java


How android applications (not native apps) which are actually in dalvik byte code can be benefited from ASHMEM. Are their any API in android framework for application developers?

I know this is kind of a generic question but I would not have put it here unless I have already tried and did not get a clear answer.
