abstract char	getChar()	The getChar() method read 2 byte from current position and increment position.

code


import java.nio.*;

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;



public class BytePutChar {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    ByteBuffer bytebuf = ByteBuffer.allocate(256);

    bytebuf.putChar('B');

    bytebuf.putChar('h');

    bytebuf.putChar('a');

    bytebuf.putChar('r');

    bytebuf.putChar('a');

    bytebuf.putChar('t');

    System.out.println(bytebuf);

    bytebuf.flip();

System.out.println("Character data in byte buffer :");

    while (bytebuf.hasRemaining()) {

      System.out.print(bytebuf.getChar());

    }

  }
