Constructor Detail

NSData

public NSData(byte[] bytes)

Creates a new NSData instance with the specified content.

Parameters:

bytes - The data content.

NSData

public NSData(String base64)
       throws IOException

Creates a new NSData instance with the specified Base64 encoded content.

Parameters:

base64 - The Base64 encoded data content.

Throws:

IOException - When the given string is not a proper Base64 formatted string.

NSData

public NSData(File file)
       throws IOException

Creates a new NSData instance with the specified file as content.

Parameters:

file - The file containing the data.

Throws:

FileNotFoundException - If the file could not be found.

IOException - If the file could not be read.

Method Detail

bytes

public byte[] bytes()

Returns the bytes contained in this instance.

Returns:

The data as bytes

length

public int length()

Returns the number of bytes stored in this instance.

Returns:

The number of bytes contained in this object.

getBytes

public void getBytes(ByteBuffer buf,
                     int length)

Copies data from this instance into the specified buffer.

Parameters:

buf - The byte buffer which will contain the data.

length - The number of bytes to copy.

getBytes

public void getBytes(ByteBuffer buf,
                     int rangeStart,
                     int rangeStop)

Copies data from this instance into the specified buffer.

Parameters:

buf - The byte buffer which will contain the data.

rangeStart - The index from which to start copying.

rangeStop - The index at which to stop copying.

getBase64EncodedData

public String getBase64EncodedData()

Gets the Base64 encoded data contained in this instance.

Returns:

The data as a Base64 encoded String.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

clone

public NSData clone()

Description copied from class: NSObject

Creates and returns a deep copy of this instance.

Specified by:

clone in class NSObject

Returns:

A clone of this instance.

toASCII

protected void toASCII(StringBuilder ascii,
                       int level)

Description copied from class: NSObject

Generates the ASCII representation of this object. The generated ASCII representation does not end with a newline. Complies with the Old-Style ASCII Property Lists definition.

Specified by:

toASCII in class NSObject

Parameters:

ascii - The StringBuilder onto which the ASCII representation is appended.

level - The indentation level of the object.

toASCIIGnuStep

protected void toASCIIGnuStep(StringBuilder ascii,
                              int level)

Description copied from class: NSObject

Generates the ASCII representation of this object in the GnuStep format. The generated ASCII representation does not end with a newline.

Specified by:

toASCIIGnuStep in class NSObject

Parameters:

ascii - The StringBuilder onto which the ASCII representation is appended.

level - The indentation level of the object.
