Method Summary

Field Details

• buf

  protected byte[] buf

  The buffer where data is stored.

• count

  protected int count

  The number of valid bytes in the buffer.

Constructor Details

• ByteArrayOutputStream

  public ByteArrayOutputStream()

  Creates a new ByteArrayOutputStream. The buffer capacity is initially 32 bytes, though its size increases if necessary.

• ByteArrayOutputStream

  public ByteArrayOutputStream(int size)

  Creates a new ByteArrayOutputStream, with a buffer capacity of the specified size, in bytes.

  Parameters:

  size - the initial size.

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if size is negative.

Method Details

• write

  public void write(int b)

  Writes the specified byte to this ByteArrayOutputStream.

  Specified by:

  write in class OutputStream

  Parameters:

  b - the byte to be written.

• write

  public void write(byte[] b, int off, int len)

  Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to this ByteArrayOutputStream.

  Overrides:

  write in class OutputStream

  Parameters:

  b - the data.

  off - the start offset in the data.

  len - the number of bytes to write.

  Throws:

  NullPointerException - if b is null.

  IndexOutOfBoundsException - if off is negative, len is negative, or len is greater than b.length - off

• writeBytes

  public void writeBytes(byte[] b)

  Writes the complete contents of the specified byte array to this ByteArrayOutputStream.

  API Note:

  This method is equivalent to write(b, 0, b.length).

  Parameters:

  b - the data.

  Throws:

  NullPointerException - if b is null.

  Since:

  11

• writeTo

  public void writeTo(OutputStream out) throws IOException

  Writes the complete contents of this ByteArrayOutputStream to the specified output stream argument, as if by calling the output stream's write method using out.write(buf, 0, count).

  Parameters:

  out - the output stream to which to write the data.

  Throws:

  NullPointerException - if out is null.

  IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

• reset

  public void reset()

  Resets the count field of this ByteArrayOutputStream to zero, so that all currently accumulated output in the output stream is discarded. The output stream can be used again, reusing the already allocated buffer space.

  See Also:

  • ByteArrayInputStream.count

• toByteArray

  public byte[] toByteArray()

  Creates a newly allocated byte array. Its size is the current size of this output stream and the valid contents of the buffer have been copied into it.

  Returns:

  the current contents of this output stream, as a byte array.

  See Also:

  • size()

• size

  public int size()

  Returns the current size of the buffer.

  Returns:

  the value of the count field, which is the number of valid bytes in this output stream.

  See Also:

  • count

• toString

  public String toString()

  Converts the buffer's contents into a string decoding bytes using the default charset. The length of the new String is a function of the charset, and hence may not be equal to the size of the buffer.

  This method always replaces malformed-input and unmappable-character sequences with the default replacement string for the default charset. The CharsetDecoder class should be used when more control over the decoding process is required.

  Overrides:

  toString in class Object

  Returns:

  String decoded from the buffer's contents.

  Since:

  1.1

  See Also:

  • Charset.defaultCharset()

• toString

  public String toString(String charsetName) throws UnsupportedEncodingException

  Converts the buffer's contents into a string by decoding the bytes using the named charset.

  This method is equivalent to #toString(charset) that takes a charset.

  An invocation of this method of the form

      ByteArrayOutputStream b;
      b.toString("UTF-8")
  

  behaves in exactly the same way as the expression

      ByteArrayOutputStream b;
      b.toString(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)
  

  Parameters:

  charsetName - the name of a supported charset

  Returns:

  String decoded from the buffer's contents.

  Throws:

  UnsupportedEncodingException - If the named charset is not supported

  Since:

  1.1

• toString

  public String toString(Charset charset)

  Converts the buffer's contents into a string by decoding the bytes using the specified charset. The length of the new String is a function of the charset, and hence may not be equal to the length of the byte array.

  This method always replaces malformed-input and unmappable-character sequences with the charset's default replacement string. The CharsetDecoder class should be used when more control over the decoding process is required.

  Parameters:

  charset - the charset to be used to decode the bytes

  Returns:

  String decoded from the buffer's contents.

  Since:

  10

• toString

  @Deprecated public String toString(int hibyte)

  Deprecated.

  This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the toString(String charsetName) or toString(Charset charset) method, which takes an encoding-name or charset argument, or the toString() method, which uses the default charset.

  Creates a newly allocated string. Its size is the current size of the output stream and the valid contents of the buffer have been copied into it. Each character c in the resulting string is constructed from the corresponding element b in the byte array such that:

      c == (char)(((hibyte & 0xff) << 8) | (b & 0xff))
  

  Parameters:

  hibyte - the high byte of each resulting Unicode character.

  Returns:

  the current contents of the output stream, as a string.

  • size()
  • toString(String)
  • toString()
  • Charset.defaultCharset()

• close

  public void close() throws IOException

  Closing a ByteArrayOutputStream has no effect. The methods in this class can be called after the stream has been closed without generating an IOException.

  Specified by:

  close in interface AutoCloseable

  Specified by:

  close in interface Closeable

  Overrides:

  close in class OutputStream

  Throws:

  IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
