Hi Dmitry, Thank you for responding. The chars I’d like to read are two byte chars (they really are an array of ushorts, but the java char type represents them OK).
As far as I can tell there is simply no way in Java to implement a seemingly obvious sequence of statements like: char[] cBuffer = new char[1000000]; numBytesRead = dInStream.read(cBuffer); The java.io classes will read only byte[] arrays or will read only one char element at the time (painfully slow). The facilities for converting the byte[] array to any other data types (java.nio stuff) are painfully slow as well. One suggestion has been to use JNI (NDK in Android lingo). Jeeze, what a convoluted mess that is… But I’m going to look into it to write a native function to do the read or maybe cast a short[] to a byte[] to fool the java.io read method. If anyone can share any ideas that will be great.
