Passing a Java Byte Array to/from Chilkat

This example demonstrates how to pass binary data stored in a Java byte array to/from Chilkat.

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class TestBd {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    CkBinData bd = new CkBinData();

    // We have a byte array in Java
    byte[] byteArray = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4};

    // Copy the bytes into the CkBinData object.
    bd.AppendData(byteArray,byteArray.length);
    
    // View the contents of bd in hexadecimal format.
    // Output: 0001020304
    System.out.println(bd.getEncoded("hex"));
    
    // Append a few more bytes
    bd.AppendEncoded("05060708","hex");
    
    // Call GetData to copy the bytes to a new Java byte array object.
    byteArray = bd.GetData();
    
    // Print each byte value
    for (byte byteVal : byteArray) {
        System.out.println(byteVal);
    }
    System.out.println("----");    
    
    // Output is:
    // 0
    // 1
    // 2
    // ...
    // 8
    
    // You can get a range of bytes by calling GetDataChunk
    // GetDataChunk has 0-based indexing.  The 1st byte is at index 0.
    byteArray = bd.GetDataChunk(2,4);
    for (byte byteVal : byteArray) {
        System.out.println(byteVal);
    }
    
    // Output is:
    // 2
    // 3
    // 4
    // 5

  }
