CharArrayReader

open class CharArrayReader : Reader
kotlin.Any
   ↳ java.io.Reader
   ↳ java.io.CharArrayReader

This class implements a character buffer that can be used as a character-input stream.

Summary

Public constructors

Creates a CharArrayReader from the specified array of chars.

CharArrayReader(buf: CharArray!, offset: Int, length: Int)

Creates a CharArrayReader from the specified array of chars.

Public methods
open Unit

Closes the stream and releases any system resources associated with it.

open Unit
mark(readAheadLimit: Int)

Marks the present position in the stream.

open Boolean

Tells whether this stream supports the mark() operation, which it does.

open Int

Reads a single character.

open Int
read(cbuf: CharArray!, off: Int, len: Int)

Reads characters into a portion of an array.

open Int
read(target: CharBuffer!)

open Boolean

Tells whether this stream is ready to be read.

open Unit

Resets the stream to the most recent mark, or to the beginning if it has never been marked.

open Long
skip(n: Long)

Skips characters.

Inherited functions
Properties
CharArray!

The character buffer.

Int

The index of the end of this buffer.

Int

The position of mark in buffer.

Int

The current buffer position.

Public constructors

CharArrayReader

Added in API level 1
CharArrayReader(buf: CharArray!)

Creates a CharArrayReader from the specified array of chars.

Parameters
buf CharArray!: Input buffer (not copied)

CharArrayReader

Added in API level 1
CharArrayReader(
    buf: CharArray!,
    offset: Int,
    length: Int)

Creates a CharArrayReader from the specified array of chars.

The resulting reader will start reading at the given offset. The total number of char values that can be read from this reader will be either length or buf.length-offset, whichever is smaller.

Parameters
buf CharArray!: Input buffer (not copied)
offset Int: Offset of the first char to read
length Int: Number of chars to read
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException If offset is negative or greater than buf.length, or if length is negative, or if the sum of these two values is negative.

Public methods

close

Added in API level 1
open fun close(): Unit

Closes the stream and releases any system resources associated with it. Once the stream has been closed, further read(), ready(), mark(), reset(), or skip() invocations will throw an IOException. Closing a previously closed stream has no effect. This method will block while there is another thread blocking on the reader.

Exceptions
java.lang.Exception if this resource cannot be closed
java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs

mark

Added in API level 1
open fun mark(readAheadLimit: Int): Unit

Marks the present position in the stream. Subsequent calls to reset() will reposition the stream to this point.

Parameters
readAheadLimit Int: Limit on the number of characters that may be read while still preserving the mark. Because the stream's input comes from a character array, there is no actual limit; hence this argument is ignored.
Exceptions
java.io.IOException If an I/O error occurs

markSupported

Added in API level 1
open fun markSupported(): Boolean

Tells whether this stream supports the mark() operation, which it does.

Return
Boolean true if and only if this stream supports the mark operation.

read

Added in API level 1
open fun read(): Int

Reads a single character.

Return
Int The character read, as an integer in the range 0 to 65535 (0x00-0xffff), or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
Exceptions
java.io.IOException If an I/O error occurs

read

Added in API level 1
open fun read(
    cbuf: CharArray!,
    off: Int,
    len: Int
): Int

Reads characters into a portion of an array.

If len is zero, then no characters are read and 0 is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt to read at least one character. If no character is available because the stream is at its end, the value -1 is returned; otherwise, at least one character is read and stored into cbuf.

Parameters
cbuf CharArray!: Destination buffer
off Int: Offset at which to start storing characters
len Int: Maximum number of characters to read
Return
Int The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
Exceptions
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException
java.io.IOException

read

Added in API level 1
open fun read(target: CharBuffer!): Int
Parameters
cb the buffer to read characters into
target CharBuffer!: the buffer to read characters into
Return
Int The number of characters added to the buffer, or -1 if this source of characters is at its end
Exceptions
java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs
java.lang.NullPointerException if target is null
java.nio.ReadOnlyBufferException if target is a read only buffer

ready

Added in API level 1
open fun ready(): Boolean

Tells whether this stream is ready to be read. Character-array readers are always ready to be read.

Return
Boolean True if the next read() is guaranteed not to block for input, false otherwise. Note that returning false does not guarantee that the next read will block.
Exceptions
java.io.IOException If an I/O error occurs

reset

Added in API level 1
open fun reset(): Unit

Resets the stream to the most recent mark, or to the beginning if it has never been marked.

Exceptions
java.io.IOException If an I/O error occurs

skip

Added in API level 1
open fun skip(n: Long): Long

Skips characters. If the stream is already at its end before this method is invoked, then no characters are skipped and zero is returned.

The n parameter may be negative, even though the skip method of the Reader superclass throws an exception in this case. If n is negative, then this method does nothing and returns 0.

Parameters
n Long: The number of characters to skip
Return
Long The number of characters actually skipped
Exceptions
java.io.IOException

Properties

buf

Added in API level 1
protected var buf: CharArray!

The character buffer.

count

Added in API level 1
protected var count: Int

markedPos

Added in API level 1
protected var markedPos: Int

The position of mark in buffer.

pos

Added in API level 1
protected var pos: Int

The current buffer position.
