Class DataOutputStream

java.lang.Object
java.io.OutputStream
java.io.DataOutputStream
All Implemented Interfaces:
DataOutput, AutoCloseable

public class DataOutputStream extends OutputStream implements DataOutput
A data output stream lets an application write primitive Java data types to an output stream in a portable way. An application can then use a data input stream to read the data back in. Since: JDK1.0, CLDC 1.0 See Also:DataInputStream

    • DataOutputStream

      public DataOutputStream(OutputStream out)
      Creates a new data output stream to write data to the specified underlying output stream. out - the underlying output stream, to be saved for later use.
  • Method Details

    • close

      public void close() throws IOException
      Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream. The close method calls its flush method, and then calls the close method of its underlying output stream.
      Specified by:
      close in interface AutoCloseable
      Overrides:
      close in class OutputStream
      Throws:
      IOException
    • flush

      public void flush() throws IOException
      Flushes this data output stream. This forces any buffered output bytes to be written out to the stream. The flush method of DataOutputStream calls the flush method of its underlying output stream.
      Overrides:
      flush in class OutputStream
      Throws:
      IOException
    • write

      public void write(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
      Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to the underlying output stream.
      Specified by:
      write in interface DataOutput
      Overrides:
      write in class OutputStream
      Throws:
      IOException
    • write

      public void write(int b) throws IOException
      Writes the specified byte (the low eight bits of the argument b) to the underlying output stream. Implements the write method of OutputStream.
      Specified by:
      write in interface DataOutput
      Specified by:
      write in class OutputStream
      Throws:
      IOException
    • writeBoolean

      public final void writeBoolean(boolean v) throws IOException
      Writes a boolean to the underlying output stream as a 1-byte value. The value true is written out as the value (byte)1; the value false is written out as the value (byte)0.
      Specified by:
      writeBoolean in interface DataOutput
      Throws:
      IOException
    • writeByte

      public final void writeByte(int v) throws IOException
      Writes out a byte to the underlying output stream as a 1-byte value.
      Specified by:
      writeByte in interface DataOutput
      Throws:
      IOException
    • writeChar

      public final void writeChar(int v) throws IOException
      Writes a char to the underlying output stream as a 2-byte value, high byte first.
      Specified by:
      writeChar in interface DataOutput
      Throws:
      IOException
    • writeChars

      public final void writeChars(String s) throws IOException
      Writes a string to the underlying output stream as a sequence of characters. Each character is written to the data output stream as if by the writeChar method.
      Specified by:
      writeChars in interface DataOutput
      Throws:
      IOException
    • writeDouble

      public final void writeDouble(double v) throws IOException
      Converts the double argument to a long using the doubleToLongBits method in class Double, and then writes that long value to the underlying output stream as an 8-byte quantity, high byte first.
      Specified by:
      writeDouble in interface DataOutput
      Throws:
      IOException
    • writeFloat

      public final void writeFloat(float v) throws IOException
      Converts the float argument to an int using the floatToIntBits method in class Float, and then writes that int value to the underlying output stream as a 4-byte quantity, high byte first.
      Specified by:
      writeFloat in interface DataOutput
      Throws:
      IOException
    • writeInt

      public final void writeInt(int v) throws IOException
      Writes an int to the underlying output stream as four bytes, high byte first.
      Specified by:
      writeInt in interface DataOutput
      Throws:
      IOException
    • writeLong

      public final void writeLong(long v) throws IOException
      Writes a long to the underlying output stream as eight bytes, high byte first.
      Specified by:
      writeLong in interface DataOutput
      Throws:
      IOException
    • writeShort

      public final void writeShort(int v) throws IOException
      Writes a short to the underlying output stream as two bytes, high byte first.
      Specified by:
      writeShort in interface DataOutput
      Throws:
      IOException
    • writeUTF

      public final void writeUTF(String str) throws IOException
      Writes a string to the underlying output stream using UTF-8 encoding in a machine-independent manner. First, two bytes are written to the output stream as if by the writeShort method giving the number of bytes to follow. This value is the number of bytes actually written out, not the length of the string. Following the length, each character of the string is output, in sequence, using the UTF-8 encoding for the character.
      Specified by:
      writeUTF in interface DataOutput
      Throws:
      IOException
