Use of rewind method in java.

In this tutorial, we will explain the use of rewind() method of Buffer class. The ByteBuffer class
is a container for handling data.The ByteBuffer class is available in java.nio package.

In this example, The rewind method reset the position of buffer at zero. So you can again
read the buffer. The method allocate( int capacity) of ByteBuffer class creates a new byte
buffer. The FileChannel class creates a channel for reading, and writing file. The channel can
read write both, but stream can either read-only or write-only. The getChannel method of
FileInputStream class returns the channel associated with this file input stream. The read()
method of FileChannel class fills byte buffer created by using allocate() method.

code


import java.io.*;

import java.nio.*;

import java.io.FileInputStream;

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

import java.nio.channels.FileChannel;



public class ByteBufferRewind {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

    FileInputStream aFile = new FileInputStream("bharat.txt");

    FileChannel inChannel = aFile.getChannel();

    ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.allocate(55);

    int bytesRead = inChannel.read(buf);

    buf.flip();

 System.out.print("Without rewind the content of buffer :\n");

    while (buf.hasRemaining()) {

      System.out.print((char) buf.get());

    }

    buf.rewind();

 System.out.print("\nAfter using rewind content of buffer : \n");

    while (buf.hasRemaining()) {

      System.out.print((char) buf.get());

    }

    aFile.close();

  }

}

Following is the output if you run the application:

C:\>java ByteBufferRewind
Without rewind the content of buffer :
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.channels.F
After using rewind content of buffer :
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.channels.F
