Creates a view of byte buffer as a char buffer.

In this tutorial, we will see how to creates a view of this byte buffer as a char buffer.

ByteBuffer API:

The java.nio.ByteBuffer class extends java.nio.Buffer class. It provides the following methods:

Return type	Method	Description
static ByteBuffer	allocate(int capacity)	The allocate(...)method allocate a new byte buffer.
abstract Charbuffer	asCharBuffer()	The asCharBuffer() method creates a view of byte buffer as a char buffer.
int	limit()	The limit() method returns the limit of associated buffer.
int	position()	The position() method returns the position of associated buffer.
final int	capacity()	The capacity() method returns the capacity of associated buffer.

code


import java.io.File;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

import java.nio.CharBuffer;

import java.nio.DoubleBuffer;



public class AsCharBuffer {



  public static void main(String[] args) {

    File fileName = new File("bharat.txt");

    FileOutputStream outStream = null;

    try {

      outStream = new FileOutputStream(fileName, true);

    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

      System.out.println("File not found Error.");

    }

    ByteBuffer byteBuf = ByteBuffer.allocate(256);

  System.out.println("\nInformation related to byte buffer :");

   System.out.printf(" Limit = %4d position = %2d   capacity = %4d%n",

        byteBuf.limit(), byteBuf.position(), byteBuf.capacity());



    CharBuffer charBuf = byteBuf.asCharBuffer();

   System.out.println("Information related to Char buffer :");

   System.out.printf(" Limit = %4d  position = %2d  capacity = %4d%n",

        charBuf.limit(), charBuf.position(), charBuf.capacity());

    try {

      outStream.close();

    } catch (IOException ioe) {

      System.out.println("IOException is " + ioe);

    }

  }

}

Output

C:\>java AsCharBuffer
Information related to byte buffer :
Limit = 256 position = 0 capacity = 256
Information related to char buffer :
Limit = 128 position = 0 capacity = 128
