public abstract class ByteBuffer extends Buffer implements Comparable<ByteBuffer>
This class defines six categories of operations upon byte buffers:
Absolute and relative get
and
put
methods that read and write
single bytes;
Relative bulk get
methods that transfer contiguous sequences of bytes from this buffer
into an array;
Relative bulk put
methods that transfer contiguous sequences of bytes from a
byte array or some other byte
buffer into this buffer;
Absolute and relative get
and put
methods that read and
write values of other primitive types, translating them to and from
sequences of bytes in a particular byte order;
Methods for creating view buffers, which allow a byte buffer to be viewed as a buffer containing values of some other primitive type; and
Methods for compacting
, duplicating
, and slicing
a byte buffer.
Byte buffers can be created either by allocation
, which allocates space for the buffer's
content, or by wrapping
an
existing byte array into a buffer.
A byte buffer is either direct or non-direct. Given a direct byte buffer, the Java virtual machine will make a best effort to perform native I/O operations directly upon it. That is, it will attempt to avoid copying the buffer's content to (or from) an intermediate buffer before (or after) each invocation of one of the underlying operating system's native I/O operations.
A direct byte buffer may be created by invoking the allocateDirect
factory method of this class. The
buffers returned by this method typically have somewhat higher allocation
and deallocation costs than non-direct buffers. The contents of direct
buffers may reside outside of the normal garbage-collected heap, and so
their impact upon the memory footprint of an application might not be
obvious. It is therefore recommended that direct buffers be allocated
primarily for large, long-lived buffers that are subject to the underlying
system's native I/O operations. In general it is best to allocate direct
buffers only when they yield a measureable gain in program performance.
A direct byte buffer may also be created by mapping
a region of a file
directly into memory. An implementation of the Java platform may optionally
support the creation of direct byte buffers from native code via JNI. If an
instance of one of these kinds of buffers refers to an inaccessible region
of memory then an attempt to access that region will not change the buffer's
content and will cause an unspecified exception to be thrown either at the
time of the access or at some later time.
Whether a byte buffer is direct or non-direct may be determined by
invoking its isDirect
method. This method is provided so
that explicit buffer management can be done in performance-critical code.
This class defines methods for reading and writing values of all other
primitive types, except boolean. Primitive values are translated
to (or from) sequences of bytes according to the buffer's current byte
order, which may be retrieved and modified via the order
methods. Specific byte orders are represented by instances of the ByteOrder
class. The initial order of a byte buffer is always BIG_ENDIAN
.
For access to heterogeneous binary data, that is, sequences of values of different types, this class defines a family of absolute and relative get and put methods for each type. For 32-bit floating-point values, for example, this class defines:
floatgetFloat()
floatgetFloat(int index)
voidputFloat(float f)
voidputFloat(int index, float f)
Corresponding methods are defined for the types char, short, int, long, and double. The index parameters of the absolute get and put methods are in terms of bytes rather than of the type being read or written.
For access to homogeneous binary data, that is, sequences of values of
the same type, this class defines methods that can create views of a
given byte buffer. A view buffer is simply another buffer whose
content is backed by the byte buffer. Changes to the byte buffer's content
will be visible in the view buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers'
position, limit, and mark values are independent. The asFloatBuffer
method, for example, creates an instance of
the FloatBuffer
class that is backed by the byte buffer upon which
the method is invoked. Corresponding view-creation methods are defined for
the types char, short, int, long, and
double.
View buffers have three important advantages over the families of type-specific get and put methods described above:
A view buffer is indexed not in terms of bytes but rather in terms of the type-specific size of its values;
A view buffer provides relative bulk get and put methods that can transfer contiguous sequences of values between a buffer and an array or some other buffer of the same type; and
A view buffer is potentially much more efficient because it will be direct if, and only if, its backing byte buffer is direct.
The byte order of a view buffer is fixed to be that of its byte buffer at the time that the view is created.
Methods in this class that do not otherwise have a value to return are specified to return the buffer upon which they are invoked. This allows method invocations to be chained. The sequence of statements
can, for example, be replaced by the single statementbb.putInt(0xCAFEBABE); bb.putShort(3); bb.putShort(45);
bb.putInt(0xCAFEBABE).putShort(3).putShort(45);

The content of the new buffer will start at this buffer's current position. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
The new buffer's position will be zero, its capacity and its limit will be the number of bytes remaining in this buffer, and its mark will be undefined. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.

The content of the new buffer will be that of this buffer. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer; the new buffer itself, however, will be read-only and will not allow the shared content to be modified. The two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.

This method transfers bytes from this buffer into the given
destination array. If there are fewer bytes remaining in the
buffer than are required to satisfy the request, that is, if
length > remaining(), then no
bytes are transferred and a BufferUnderflowException
is
thrown.
Otherwise, this method copies length bytes from this buffer into the given array, starting at the current position of this buffer and at the given offset in the array. The position of this buffer is then incremented by length.
In other words, an invocation of this method of the form src.get(dst, off, len) has exactly the same effect as the loop

This method transfers the bytes remaining in the given source

src.remaining() > remaining(),
then no bytes are transferred and a BufferOverflowException
is thrown.
Otherwise, this method copies n = src.remaining() bytes from the given buffer into this buffer, starting at each buffer's current position. The positions of both buffers are then incremented by n.
In other words, an invocation of this method of the form dst.put(src) has exactly the same effect as the loop

ReadOnlyBufferException
- If this buffer is backed by an array but is read-onlyUnsupportedOperationException
- If this buffer is not backed by an accessible arraypublic abstract ByteBuffer compact()
The bytes between the buffer's current position and its limit, if any, are copied to the beginning of the buffer. That is, the byte at index p = position() is copied to index zero, the byte at index p + 1 is copied to index one, and so forth until the byte at index limit() - 1 is copied to index n = limit() - 1 - p. The buffer's position is then set to n+1 and its limit is set to its capacity. The mark, if defined, is discarded.
The buffer's position is set to the number of bytes copied, rather than to zero, so that an invocation of this method can be followed immediately by an invocation of another relative put method.
Invoke this method after writing data from a buffer in case the write was incomplete. The following loop, for example, copies bytes from one channel to another via the buffer buf:
buf.clear(); // Prepare buffer for use while (in.read(buf) >= 0 || buf.position != 0) { buf.flip(); out.write(buf); buf.compact(); // In case of partial write }

public int hashCode()
The hash code of a byte buffer depends only upon its remaining elements; that is, upon the elements from position() up to, and including, the element at limit() - 1.
Because buffer hash codes are content-dependent, it is inadvisable to use buffers as keys in hash maps or similar data structures unless it is known that their contents will not change.

The content of the new buffer will start at this buffer's current position. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
The new buffer's position will be zero, its capacity and its limit will be the number of bytes remaining in this buffer divided by four, and its mark will be undefined. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.
public abstract double getDouble()
Reads the next eight bytes at this buffer's current position, composing them into a double value according to the current byte order, and then increments the position by eight.
