The asReadOnlyBuffer() method of java.nio.IntBuffer Class is used to create a new, read-only int buffer with this buffer’s content. The new buffer is a replica of this buffer. Hence changes made to this buffer’s content will be visible in the new buffer.
Since the new buffer is read-only, therefore any modification to its content won’t be allowed. The two buffers’ position, limit, and mark values will be independent. The new buffer’s capacity, limit, position, and mark values will be identical to those of this buffer. If this buffer is itself read-only then this method behaves in exactly the same way as the duplicate method.
Syntax :
public abstract IntBuffer asReadOnlyBuffer()
Return Value: This method returns the new, read-only int buffer with the same content as that of this buffer.
Below are the examples to illustrate the asReadOnlyBuffer() method:
Examples 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// asReadOnlyBuffer() method import java.nio.*;import java.util.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Declaring the capacity of the IntBuffer int capacity = 10; // Creating the IntBuffer try { // creating object of Intbuffer // and allocating size capacity IntBuffer ib = IntBuffer.allocate(capacity); // putting the value in Intbuffer ib.put(8); ib.put(2, 9); ib.rewind(); // print the IntBuffer System.out.println("Original IntBuffer: " + Arrays.toString(ib.array())); // Creating a read-only copy of IntBuffer // using asReadOnlyBuffer() method IntBuffer IntBuffer = ib.asReadOnlyBuffer(); // print the IntBuffer System.out.print("\nReadOnlyBuffer IntBuffer: "); while (IntBuffer.hasRemaining()) System.out.print(IntBuffer.get() + ", "); } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { System.out.println("IllegalArgumentException catched"); } catch (ReadOnlyBufferException e) { System.out.println("ReadOnlyBufferException catched"); } }} |
Original IntBuffer: [8, 0, 9, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] ReadOnlyBuffer IntBuffer: 8, 0, 9, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
Examples 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// asReadOnlyBuffer() method import java.nio.*;import java.util.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // Declaring the capacity of the ib int capacity1 = 10; // Declaring the capacity of the ib1 int capacity2 = 5; // Creating the IntBuffer try { // creating object of Intbuffer ib // and allocating size capacity IntBuffer ib = IntBuffer.allocate(capacity1); // putting the value in ib ib.put(8); ib.put(2, 9); ib.rewind(); // print the IntBuffer System.out.println("IntBuffer ib: " + Arrays.toString(ib.array())); // ib1 // creating object of Intbuffer ib1 // and allocating size capacity IntBuffer ib1 = IntBuffer.allocate(capacity2); // putting the value in ib1 ib1.put(1, 4); ib1.put(2, 6); ib1.rewind(); // print the IntBuffer System.out.println("\nIntBuffer ib1: " + Arrays.toString(ib1.array())); // Creating a read-only copy of IntBuffer // using asReadOnlyBuffer() method IntBuffer readOnlyib = ib.asReadOnlyBuffer(); // print the IntBuffer System.out.print("\nReadOnlyBuffer IntBuffer: "); while (readOnlyib.hasRemaining()) System.out.print(readOnlyib.get() + ", "); // try to change readOnlyib System.out.println("\n\nTrying to get the array" + " from ReadOnlyib for editing"); int[] ibarr = readOnlyib.array(); } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { System.out.println("IllegalArgumentException catched"); } catch (ReadOnlyBufferException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e); } }} |
