How to replace StringBufferInputStream with StringReader?

Question

Using JNLP, I have this line :

File_Save_Service.saveFileDialog(null,null,new StringBufferInputStream("testing"),null);

How to replace StringBufferInputStream with StringReader in this line ? The API for StringBufferInputStream says better use StringReader, but how to convert between different types ?

Answer 1

FileSaveService.saveFileDialog takes an InputStream, not a Reader (because it wants binary data, not character data).

StringBufferInputStream is deprecated because it does not convert characters into bytes properly.

You can use ByteArrayInputStream instead:

new ByteArrayInputStream("the string".getBytes("UTF-8"))
