Parameters
`out`	`OutputStream`: the output stream
`def`	`Deflater`: the compressor ("deflater")
`size`	`int`: the output buffer size
`syncFlush`	`boolean`: if `true` the `flush()` method of this instance flushes the compressor with flush mode `Deflater#SYNC_FLUSH` before flushing the output stream, otherwise only flushes the output stream

Throws

                int size)

Creates a new output stream with the specified compressor and buffer size.

The new output stream instance is created as if by invoking the 4-argument constructor DeflaterOutputStream(out, def, size, false).

Parameters

public DeflaterOutputStream (OutputStream out, 
                Deflater def, 
                boolean syncFlush)

Parameters
`out`	`OutputStream`: the output stream
`def`	`Deflater`: the compressor ("deflater")
`syncFlush`	`boolean`: if `true` the `flush()` method of this instance flushes the compressor with flush mode `Deflater#SYNC_FLUSH` before flushing the output stream, otherwise only flushes the output stream

`def`	`Deflater`: the compressor ("deflater")

DeflaterOutputStream

Added in API level 19

public DeflaterOutputStream (OutputStream out, 
                boolean syncFlush)

Creates a new output stream with a default compressor, a default buffer size and the specified flush mode.

Parameters
`out`	`OutputStream`: the output stream
`syncFlush`	`boolean`: if `true` the `flush()` method of this instance flushes the compressor with flush mode `Deflater#SYNC_FLUSH` before flushing the output stream, otherwise only flushes the output stream

DeflaterOutputStream

public DeflaterOutputStream (OutputStream out)

Creates a new output stream with a default compressor and buffer size.

The new output stream instance is created as if by invoking the 2-argument constructor DeflaterOutputStream(out, false).

Parameters
`out`	`OutputStream`: the output stream

Public methods

close

Added in API level 1

public void close ()

Writes remaining compressed data to the output stream and closes the underlying stream.

Throws
`IOException`	if an I/O error has occurred

finish

Added in API level 1

public void finish ()

Finishes writing compressed data to the output stream without closing the underlying stream. Use this method when applying multiple filters in succession to the same output stream.

Throws
`IOException`	if an I/O error has occurred

flush

Added in API level 1

public void flush ()

Flushes the compressed output stream. If syncFlush is true when this compressed output stream is constructed, this method first flushes the underlying compressor with the flush mode Deflater#SYNC_FLUSH to force all pending data to be flushed out to the output stream and then flushes the output stream. Otherwise this method only flushes the output stream without flushing the compressor.

Throws
`IOException`	if an I/O error has occurred

write

Added in API level 1

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

Writes an array of bytes to the compressed output stream. This method will block until all the bytes are written.

Parameters
`b`	`byte`: the data to be written
`off`	`int`: the start offset of the data
`len`	`int`: the length of the data

Throws
`IOException`	if an I/O error has occurred

write

Added in API level 1

public void write (int b)

Writes a byte to the compressed output stream. This method will block until the byte can be written.

Parameters
`b`	`int`: the byte to be written

Throws
`IOException`	if an I/O error has occurred

Protected methods

deflate

Added in API level 1

protected void deflate ()

Writes next block of compressed data to the output stream.
