This method blocks until all remaining bytes have been read and end of stream is detected, or an exception is thrown. This method does not close the input stream. When this stream reaches end of stream, further invocations of this method will return an empty byte array. Note that this method is intended for simple cases where it is convenient to read all bytes into a byte array. It is not intended for reading input streams with large amounts of data. The behavior for the case where the input stream is*asynchronously closed*, or the thread interrupted during the read, is highly input stream specific, and therefore not specified. If an I/O error occurs reading from the input stream, then it may do so after some, but not all, bytes have been read. Consequently the input stream may not be at end of stream and may be in an inconsistent state. It is strongly recommended that the stream be promptly closed if an I/O error occurs. <br />                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         | | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html)               | [readNBytes](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/io/InputStream.html#readNBytes(kotlin.ByteArray,%20kotlin.Int,%20kotlin.Int))`(`b:` `[ByteArray](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-byte-array/index.html)!`, `off:` `[Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html)`, `len:` `[Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html)`)` <br /> Reads the requested number of bytes from the input stream into the given byte array. This method blocks until`len`bytes of input data have been read, end of stream is detected, or an exception is thrown. The number of bytes actually read, possibly zero, is returned. This method does not close the input stream. In the case where end of stream is reached before`len`bytes have been read, then the actual number of bytes read will be returned. When this stream reaches end of stream, further invocations of this method will return zero. If`len`is zero, then no bytes are read and`0`is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt to read up to`len`bytes. The first byte read is stored into element`b[off]`, the next one in to`b[off+1]`, and so on. The number of bytes read is, at most, equal to`len`. Let*k* be the number of bytes actually read; these bytes will be stored in elements`b[off]`through`b[off+`*k* `-1]`, leaving elements`b[off+`*k* `]`through`b[off+len-1]`unaffected.

This method blocks until the requested number of bytes has been read, end of stream is detected, or an exception is thrown. This method does not close the input stream. The length of the returned array equals the number of bytes read from the stream. If`len`is zero, then no bytes are read and an empty byte array is returned. Otherwise, up to`len`bytes are read from the stream. Fewer than`len`bytes may be read if end of stream is encountered. When this stream reaches end of stream, further invocations of this method will return an empty byte array. Note that this method is intended for simple cases where it is convenient to read the specified number of bytes into a byte array. The total amount of memory allocated by this method is proportional to the number of bytes read from the stream which is bounded by`len`. Therefore, the method may be safely called with very large values of`len`provided sufficient memory is available.

### read

Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)  

```
open fun read(
    b: ByteArray!, 
    off: Int, 
    len: Int
): Int
```

Reads uncompressed data into an array of bytes. If`len`is not zero, the method will block until some input can be decompressed; otherwise, no bytes are read and`0`is returned.
