Class AudioInputStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable

    public class AudioInputStream
    extends InputStream
    An audio input stream is an input stream with a specified audio format and length. The length is expressed in sample frames, not bytes. Several methods are provided for reading a certain number of bytes from the stream, or an unspecified number of bytes. The audio input stream keeps track of the last byte that was read. You can skip over an arbitrary number of bytes to get to a later position for reading. An audio input stream may support marks. When you set a mark, the current position is remembered so that you can return to it later.

    The AudioSystem class includes many methods that manipulate AudioInputStream objects. For example, the methods let you:

    • obtain an audio input stream from an external audio file, stream, or URL
    • write an external file from an audio input stream
    • convert an audio input stream to a different audio format

        public int read()
                 throws IOException
        Reads the next byte of data from the audio input stream. The audio input stream's frame size must be one byte, or an IOException will be thrown.
        Specified by:
        read in class InputStream
        Returns:
        the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the stream is reached
        Throws:
        IOException - if an input or output error occurs

      • read

        public int read​(byte[] b)
                 throws IOException
        Reads some number of bytes from the audio input stream and stores them into the buffer array b. The number of bytes actually read is returned as an integer. This method blocks until input data is available, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

        This method will always read an integral number of frames. If the length of the array is not an integral number of frames, a maximum of b.length - (b.length % frameSize) bytes will be read.

        Overrides:
        read in class InputStream
        Parameters:
        b - the buffer into which the data is read
        Returns:
        the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or -1 if there is no more data because the end of the stream has been reached
        Throws:
        IOException - if an input or output error occurs

      • read

        public int read​(byte[] b,
                        int off,
                        int len)
                 throws IOException
        Reads up to a specified maximum number of bytes of data from the audio stream, putting them into the given byte array.

        This method will always read an integral number of frames. If len does not specify an integral number of frames, a maximum of len - (len % frameSize) bytes will be read.

        Overrides:
        read in class InputStream
        Parameters:
        b - the buffer into which the data is read
        off - the offset, from the beginning of array b, at which the data will be written
        len - the maximum number of bytes to read
        Returns:
        the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or -1 if there is no more data because the end of the stream has been reached
        Throws:
        IOException - if an input or output error occurs

      • skip

        public long skip​(long n)
                  throws IOException
        Skips over and discards a specified number of bytes from this audio input stream.

        This method will always skip an integral number of frames. If n does not specify an integral number of frames, a maximum of n - (n % frameSize) bytes will be skipped.

        Overrides:
        skip in class InputStream
        Parameters:
        n - the requested number of bytes to be skipped
        Returns:
        the actual number of bytes skipped
        Throws:
        IOException - if an input or output error occurs

        read(), available()
      • available

        public int available()
                      throws IOException
        Returns the maximum number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this audio input stream without blocking. This limit applies only to the next invocation of a read or skip method for this audio input stream; the limit can vary each time these methods are invoked. Depending on the underlying stream, an IOException may be thrown if this stream is closed.
        Overrides:
        available in class InputStream
        Returns:
        the number of bytes that can be read from this audio input stream without blocking
        Throws:
        IOException - if an input or output error occurs

      • mark

        public void mark​(int readlimit)
        Marks the current position in this audio input stream.
        Overrides:
        mark in class InputStream
        Parameters:
        readlimit - the maximum number of bytes that can be read before the mark position becomes invalid
        See Also:
        reset(), markSupported()
      • markSupported

        public boolean markSupported()
        Tests whether this audio input stream supports the mark and reset methods.

        Returns:
        true if this stream supports the mark and reset methods; false otherwise
