if (message.getType() == WebMessageCompat.TYPE_ARRAY_BUFFER) {
    byte[] arrayBuffer = message.getArrayBuffer();
    // Access arrayBuffer data here.
}
Returns
@NonNull byte[]

ArrayBuffer payload data.

public @Nullable String getData()

Returns the String data of the message. This should only be called when getType returns TYPE_STRING. Example:

WebMessageCompat message = ... // The WebMessageCompat received or prepared.
