How to get specific index value from ByteBuffer in java.

In this tutorial, we will discuss how to get value of a given index from buffer. The ByteBuffer
class is a container for handling data. The get(int index) method of ByteBuffer class returns value
of a given index. The method allocate( int capacity) creates a new byte buffer, and the current position
will be zero and its limit will be it's capacity.

About 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 create a byte buffer of specified capacity.
byte	get(int index)	The get() method reads bytes at given index from buffer.

code


import java.io.*;

import java.nio.*;

import java.io.FileInputStream;

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

import java.nio.channels.FileChannel;



public class GetIndexValue {

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

    int index = 4;

    FileInputStream aFile = new FileInputStream("testfile1.txt");

    FileInputStream bFile = new FileInputStream("testfile2.txt");

    FileChannel inChannel = aFile.getChannel();

    FileChannel inChannelb = bFile.getChannel();

    ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.allocate(256);

    int bytesRead = inChannel.read(buf);

    buf.flip();

  System.out.println("Value in first buffer at index " + index + ": "

        + (char) buf.get(index));

    buf.clear();

    int bytesReadb = inChannelb.read(buf);

    buf.flip();

  System.out.println("Value in second buffer at index " + index + ":
  "

        + (char) buf.get(index));

   }

}

output

C:\Work\Bharat\load\getSpecified value>java GetIndexValue
Value in first buffer at index 4 : r
Value in second buffer at index 4 : a
