Encoder

open class Encoder
kotlin.Any
   ↳ java.util.Base64.Encoder

This class implements an encoder for encoding byte data using the Base64 encoding scheme as specified in RFC 4648 and RFC 2045.

Instances of Encoder class are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.

Unless otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a method of this class will cause a NullPointerException to be thrown.

If the encoded byte output of the needed size can not be allocated, the encode methods of this class will cause an OutOfMemoryError to be thrown.

Summary

Public methods
open ByteArray!

Encodes all bytes from the specified byte array into a newly-allocated byte array using the Base64 encoding scheme.

open Int
encode(src: ByteArray!, dst: ByteArray!)

Encodes all bytes from the specified byte array using the Base64 encoding scheme, writing the resulting bytes to the given output byte array, starting at offset 0.

open ByteBuffer!
encode(buffer: ByteBuffer!)

Encodes all remaining bytes from the specified byte buffer into a newly-allocated ByteBuffer using the Base64 encoding scheme.

open String!

Encodes the specified byte array into a String using the Base64 encoding scheme.

open Base64.Encoder!

Returns an encoder instance that encodes equivalently to this one, but without adding any padding character at the end of the encoded byte data.

open OutputStream!

Wraps an output stream for encoding byte data using the Base64 encoding scheme.

Public methods

encode

Added in API level 26
open fun encode(src: ByteArray!): ByteArray!

Encodes all bytes from the specified byte array into a newly-allocated byte array using the Base64 encoding scheme. The returned byte array is of the length of the resulting bytes.

Parameters
src ByteArray!: the byte array to encode
Return
ByteArray! A newly-allocated byte array containing the resulting encoded bytes.

encode

Added in API level 26
open fun encode(
    src: ByteArray!,
    dst: ByteArray!
): Int

Encodes all bytes from the specified byte array using the Base64 encoding scheme, writing the resulting bytes to the given output byte array, starting at offset 0.

It is the responsibility of the invoker of this method to make sure the output byte array dst has enough space for encoding all bytes from the input byte array. No bytes will be written to the output byte array if the output byte array is not big enough.

Parameters
src ByteArray!: the byte array to encode
dst ByteArray!: the output byte array
Return
Int The number of bytes written to the output byte array
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if dst does not have enough space for encoding all input bytes.

encode

Added in API level 26
open fun encode(buffer: ByteBuffer!): ByteBuffer!

Encodes all remaining bytes from the specified byte buffer into a newly-allocated ByteBuffer using the Base64 encoding scheme. Upon return, the source buffer's position will be updated to its limit; its limit will not have been changed. The returned output buffer's position will be zero and its limit will be the number of resulting encoded bytes.

Parameters
buffer ByteBuffer!: the source ByteBuffer to encode
Return
ByteBuffer! A newly-allocated byte buffer containing the encoded bytes.

encodeToString

Added in API level 26
open fun encodeToString(src: ByteArray!): String!

Encodes the specified byte array into a String using the Base64 encoding scheme.

This method first encodes all input bytes into a base64 encoded byte array and then constructs a new String by using the encoded byte array and the ISO-8859-1 charset.

In other words, an invocation of this method has exactly the same effect as invoking new String(encode(src), StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1).

Parameters
src ByteArray!: the byte array to encode
Return
String! A String containing the resulting Base64 encoded characters

withoutPadding

Added in API level 26
open fun withoutPadding(): Base64.Encoder!

Returns an encoder instance that encodes equivalently to this one, but without adding any padding character at the end of the encoded byte data.

The encoding scheme of this encoder instance is unaffected by this invocation. The returned encoder instance should be used for non-padding encoding operation.

Return
Base64.Encoder! an equivalent encoder that encodes without adding any padding character at the end

wrap

Added in API level 26
open fun wrap(os: OutputStream!): OutputStream!

Wraps an output stream for encoding byte data using the Base64 encoding scheme.

It is recommended to promptly close the returned output stream after use, during which it will flush all possible leftover bytes to the underlying output stream. Closing the returned output stream will close the underlying output stream.

Parameters
os OutputStream!: the output stream.
Return
OutputStream! the output stream for encoding the byte data into the specified Base64 encoded format
