Class Overview

An implementation of ImageInputStream that gets its input from a regular InputStream. A memory buffer is used to cache at least the data between the discard position and the current read position.

In general, it is preferable to use a FileCacheImageInputStream when reading from a regular InputStream. This class is provided for cases where it is not possible to create a writable temporary file.

Summary

Inherited Fields
From class javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStreamImpl
Public Constructors
MemoryCacheImageInputStream(InputStream stream)
Constructs a MemoryCacheImageInputStream that will read from a given InputStream.
Public Methods
void close()
Closes this MemoryCacheImageInputStream, freeing the cache.
void flushBefore(long pos)
Discards the initial portion of the stream prior to the indicated postion.
boolean isCached()
Returns true since this ImageInputStream caches data in order to allow seeking backwards.
boolean isCachedFile()
Returns false since this ImageInputStream does not maintain a file cache.
boolean isCachedMemory()
Returns true since this ImageInputStream maintains a main memory cache.
int read()
Reads a single byte from the stream and returns it as an int between 0 and 255.
int read(byte[] b, int off, int len)
Reads up to len bytes from the stream, and stores them into b starting at index off.
Protected Methods
void finalize()
Finalizes this object prior to garbage collection.

Public Constructors

public MemoryCacheImageInputStream (InputStream stream)

Constructs a MemoryCacheImageInputStream that will read from a given InputStream.

Parameters
stream an InputStream to read from.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if stream is null.

Public Methods

public void close ()

Closes this MemoryCacheImageInputStream, freeing the cache. The source InputStream is not closed.

Throws
IOException

public void flushBefore (long pos)

Discards the initial portion of the stream prior to the indicated postion. Attempting to seek to an offset within the flushed portion of the stream will result in an IndexOutOfBoundsException.

Calling flushBefore may allow classes implementing this interface to free up resources such as memory or disk space that are being used to store data from the stream.

Parameters
pos a long containing the length of the stream prefix that may be flushed.
Throws
IOException

public boolean isCached ()

Returns true since this ImageInputStream caches data in order to allow seeking backwards.

Returns
  • true.

public boolean isCachedFile ()

Returns false since this ImageInputStream does not maintain a file cache.

Returns
  • false.

public boolean isCachedMemory ()

Returns true since this ImageInputStream maintains a main memory cache.

Returns
  • true.

public int read ()

Reads a single byte from the stream and returns it as an int between 0 and 255. If EOF is reached, -1 is returned.

Subclasses must provide an implementation for this method. The subclass implementation should update the stream position before exiting.

The bit offset within the stream must be reset to zero before the read occurs.

Returns
  • the value of the next byte in the stream, or -1 if EOF is reached.
Throws
IOException

public int read (byte[] b, int off, int len)

Reads up to len bytes from the stream, and stores them into b starting at index off. If no bytes can be read because the end of the stream has been reached, -1 is returned.

The bit offset within the stream must be reset to zero before the read occurs.

Subclasses must provide an implementation for this method. The subclass implementation should update the stream position before exiting.

Parameters
b an array of bytes to be written to.
off the starting position within b to write to.
len the maximum number of bytes to read.
Returns
  • the number of bytes actually read, or -1 to indicate EOF.
Throws
IOException

Protected Methods

protected void finalize ()

Finalizes this object prior to garbage collection. The close method is called to close any open input source. This method should not be called from application code.

Throws
Throwable
