I'm running into a strange problem while reading from an InputStream on the Android platform. I'm not sure if this is an Android specific issue, or something I'm doing wrong in general.
The only thing that is Android specific is this call: InputStream is = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.myfile); This returns an InputStream for a file from the Android assets. Anyways, here's where I run into the issue: bytes[] buffer = new bytes[2]; is.read(buffer); When the read() executes it throws an IOException. The weird thing is that if I do two sequential single byte reads (or any number of single byte reads), there is no exception. Ie, this works: byte buffer; buffer = (byte)buffer.read(); buffer = (byte)buffer.read(); Any idea why two sequential single byte reads work but one call to read both at once throws an exception? The InputStream seems fine... is.available() returns over a million bytes (as it should). Stack trace shows these lines just before the InputStream.read(): java.io.IOException at android.content.res.AssetManager.readAsset(Native Method) at android.content.res.AssetManager.access$800(AssetManager.java:36) at android.content.res.AssetManager$AssetInputStream.read (AssetManager.java:542) Changing the buffer size to a single byte still throws the error. It looks like the exception is only raised when reading into a byte array. Any help is appreciated!
