*** ** * ** ***
A transparent stream that updates the associated message digest using
the bits going through the stream.
To complete the message digest computation, call one of the
`digest` methods on the associated message
digest after your calls to one of this digest input stream's
`https://developer.android.com/reference/java/security/DigestInputStream#read()` methods.
It is possible to turn this stream on or off (see
`https://developer.android.com/reference/java/security/DigestInputStream#on(boolean)`). When it is on, a call to one of the
`read` methods
results in an update on the message digest. But when it is off,
the message digest is not updated. The default is for the stream
to be on.
Note that digest objects can compute only one digest (see
`https://developer.android.com/reference/java/security/MessageDigest`),
so that in order to compute intermediate digests, a caller should
retain a handle onto the digest object, and clone it for each
digest to be computed, leaving the original digest untouched.

## Fields
### digest
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
protected MessageDigest digest
```
The message digest associated with this stream.
## Public constructors
### DigestInputStream
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public DigestInputStream (InputStream stream,
MessageDigest digest)
```
Creates a digest input stream, using the specified input stream
and message digest.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `stream` | `InputStream`: the input stream.
|
| `digest` | `MessageDigest`: the message digest to associate with this stream.
|
## Public methods
### getMessageDigest
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public MessageDigest getMessageDigest ()
```
Returns the message digest associated with this stream.
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/security/MessageDigest` | the message digest associated with this stream.
|
**See also:**
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/security/DigestInputStream#setMessageDigest(java.security.MessageDigest)`
### on
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void on (boolean on)
```
Turns the digest function on or off. The default is on. When
it is on, a call to one of the `read` methods results in an
update on the message digest. But when it is off, the message
digest is not updated.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `on` | `boolean`: true to turn the digest function on, false to turn it off.
|
### read
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public int read ()
```
Reads a byte, and updates the message digest (if the digest
function is on). That is, this method reads a byte from the
input stream, blocking until the byte is actually read. If the
digest function is on (see `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/security/DigestInputStream#on(boolean)`), this method
will then call `update` on the message digest associated
with this stream, passing it the byte read.
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | the byte read.
|
| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/IOException` | if an I/O error occurs. |
**See also:**
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/security/MessageDigest#update(byte)`
### read
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public int read (byte[] b,
int off,
int len)
```
Reads into a byte array, and updates the message digest (if the
digest function is on). That is, this method reads up to
`len` bytes from the input stream into the array
`b`, starting at offset `off`. This method
blocks until the data is actually
read. If the digest function is on (see
`https://developer.android.com/reference/java/security/DigestInputStream#on(boolean)`), this method will then call `update`
on the message digest associated with this stream, passing it
the data.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `b` | `byte`: the array into which the data is read.
|
| `off` | `int`: the starting offset into `b` of where the data should be placed.
|
| `len` | `int`: the maximum number of bytes to be read from the input stream into b, starting at offset `off`.
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | the actual number of bytes read. This is less than `len` if the end of the stream is reached prior to reading `len` bytes. -1 is returned if no bytes were read because the end of the stream had already been reached when the call was made.
|
| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/IOException` | if an I/O error occurs. |
**See also:**
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/security/MessageDigest#update(byte[],%20int,%20int)`
### setMessageDigest
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void setMessageDigest (MessageDigest digest)
```
Associates the specified message digest with this stream.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `digest` | `MessageDigest`: the message digest to be associated with this stream.
|
**See also:**
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/security/DigestInputStream#getMessageDigest()`
### toString
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public String toString ()
```
Prints a string representation of this digest input stream and
its associated message digest object.
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String` | a string representation of the object.
|
