Java Utililty Methods FileInputStream Read

try {
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
    byte[] data = loadBytesFromStream(fis);
    fis.close();
    return data;
} catch (IOException ioe) {
    ioe.printStackTrace();
    return null;

InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
byte[] content = load(in, (int) file.length());

InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
try {

FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(file);
byte[] b = new byte[fin.available()];
fin.read(b);
String str = new String(b);
