Class ByteArrayContent

java.lang.Object
  com.google.api.client.http.AbstractInputStreamContent
      com.google.api.client.http.ByteArrayContent

All Implemented Interfaces:

HttpContent

public final class ByteArrayContent
extends AbstractInputStreamContent

Concrete implementation of AbstractInputStreamContent that generates repeatable input streams based on the contents of byte array.

The AbstractInputStreamContent.type field is required.

Sample use:

 
  static void setRequestJsonContent(HttpRequest request, String json) {
    InputStreamContent content = new ByteArrayContent(json);
    content.type = "application/json";
    request.content = content;
  }
 
 

Since:

1.4

Constructor Detail

ByteArrayContent

public ByteArrayContent(byte[] array)

Parameters:

array - Data source for creating input streams.

ByteArrayContent

public ByteArrayContent(String contentString)

Create an instance from the byte contents of the string. This assumes that the string is encoded in UTF-8 and uses Strings.toBytesUtf8() to perform the conversion.

Parameters:

contentString - String to use as the source data for creating input streams

ByteArrayContent

public ByteArrayContent()

Create an instance with no data.

Method Detail

getLength

public long getLength()

Description copied from interface: HttpContent

Returns the content length or less than zero if not known.

retrySupported

public boolean retrySupported()

Description copied from interface: HttpContent

Returns whether or not retry is supported on this content type. This is a backward incompatible change that affects versions prior to 1.4.

getInputStream

protected InputStream getInputStream()

Description copied from class: AbstractInputStreamContent

Return an input stream for the specific implementation type of AbstractInputStreamContent. If the specific implementation will return true for HttpContent.retrySupported() this should be a factory function which will create a new InputStream from the source data whenever invoked.
