ObjectInputStream.readLong() has the following syntax.
public long readLong() throws IOException
In the following code shows how to use ObjectInputStream.readLong() method.
/*from w ww . ja v a 2 s . co m*/ import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.ObjectInputStream; import java.io.ObjectOutputStream; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { long l = 12345678909876L; FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("test.txt"); ObjectOutputStream oout = new ObjectOutputStream(out); // write something in the file oout.writeLong(l); oout.writeLong(987654321L); oout.flush(); oout.close(); // create an ObjectInputStream for the file we created before ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream( "test.txt")); // read and print a long System.out.println(ois.readLong()); // read and print a long System.out.println(ois.readLong()); ois.close(); } }
The code above generates the following result.
