DataInputStream.readUnsignedShort() has the following syntax.
public final int readUnsignedShort() throws IOException
In the following code shows how to use DataInputStream.readUnsignedShort() method.
//from w w w .j a v a 2 s. c om import java.io.DataInputStream; import java.io.DataOutputStream; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { short[] s = { -5, 32767 }; FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("c:\\test.txt"); DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(fos); for (short j : s) { dos.writeShort(j); } dos.flush(); InputStream is = new FileInputStream("c:\\test.txt"); DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(is); while (dis.available() > 0) { int k = dis.readUnsignedShort(); System.out.print(k); } } }
