Class Inflater
Unless otherwise noted, passing a null
argument to a constructor
or method in this class will cause a NullPointerException
to be
thrown.
This class inflates sequences of ZLIB compressed bytes. The input byte
sequence is provided in either byte array or byte buffer, via one of the
setInput()
methods. The output byte sequence is written to the
output byte array or byte buffer passed to the inflate()
methods.
The following code fragment demonstrates a trivial compression
and decompression of a string using Deflater
and
Inflater
.
try { // Encode a String into bytes String inputString = "blahblahblah€€"; byte[] input = inputString.getBytes("UTF-8"); // Compress the bytes byte[] output = new byte[100]; Deflater compresser = new Deflater(); compresser.setInput(input); compresser.finish(); int compressedDataLength = compresser.deflate(output); // Decompress the bytes Inflater decompresser = new Inflater(); decompresser.setInput(output, 0, compressedDataLength); byte[] result = new byte[100]; int resultLength = decompresser.inflate(result); decompresser.end(); // Decode the bytes into a String String outputString = new String(result, 0, resultLength, "UTF-8"); } catch (java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException ex) { // handle } catch (java.util.zip.DataFormatException ex) { // handle }
- API Note:
- To release resources used by this
Inflater
, theend()
method should be called explicitly. Subclasses are responsible for the cleanup of resources acquired by the subclass. Subclasses that overrideObject.finalize()
in order to perform cleanup should be modified to use alternative cleanup mechanisms such asCleaner
and remove the overridingfinalize
method. - Since:

Constructor Details

Inflater
public Inflater(boolean nowrap) Creates a new decompressor. If the parameter 'nowrap' is true then the ZLIB header and checksum fields will not be used. This provides compatibility with the compression format used by both GZIP and PKZIP.Note: When using the 'nowrap' option it is also necessary to provide an extra "dummy" byte as input. This is required by the ZLIB native library in order to support certain optimizations.
- Parameters:
nowrap
- if true then support GZIP compatible compression
-
Inflater
public Inflater()Creates a new decompressor.

Method Details

setInput
public void setInput(byte[] input, int off, int len) Sets input data for decompression.One of the
setInput()
methods should be called wheneverneedsInput()
returns true indicating that more input data is required.- Parameters:
input
- the input data bytesoff
- the start offset of the input datalen
- the length of the input data- See Also:
-
setInput
public void setInput(byte[] input) Sets input data for decompression.One of the
setInput()
methods should be called wheneverneedsInput()
returns true indicating that more input data is required.- Parameters:
input
- the input data bytes- See Also:
-
setInput
Sets input data for decompression.One of the
setInput()
methods should be called wheneverneedsInput()
returns true indicating that more input data is required.The given buffer's position will be advanced as inflate operations are performed, up to the buffer's limit. The input buffer may be modified (refilled) between inflate operations; doing so is equivalent to creating a new buffer and setting it with this method.
Modifying the input buffer's contents, position, or limit concurrently with an inflate operation will result in undefined behavior, which may include incorrect operation results or operation failure.
- Parameters:
input
- the input data bytes- Since:
- 11
- See Also:
-
setDictionary
public void setDictionary(byte[] dictionary, int off, int len) Sets the preset dictionary to the given array of bytes. Should be called when inflate() returns 0 and needsDictionary() returns true indicating that a preset dictionary is required. The method getAdler() can be used to get the Adler-32 value of the dictionary needed.- Parameters:
dictionary
- the dictionary data bytesoff
- the start offset of the datalen
- the length of the data- See Also:
-
setDictionary
public void setDictionary(byte[] dictionary) Sets the preset dictionary to the given array of bytes. Should be called when inflate() returns 0 and needsDictionary() returns true indicating that a preset dictionary is required. The method getAdler() can be used to get the Adler-32 value of the dictionary needed.- Parameters:
dictionary
- the dictionary data bytes- See Also:
-
setDictionary
Sets the preset dictionary to the bytes in the given buffer. Should be called when inflate() returns 0 and needsDictionary() returns true indicating that a preset dictionary is required. The method getAdler() can be used to get the Adler-32 value of the dictionary needed.The bytes in given byte buffer will be fully consumed by this method. On return, its position will equal its limit.
- Parameters:
dictionary
- the dictionary data bytes- Since:
- 11
- See Also:
-
getRemaining
public int getRemaining()Returns the total number of bytes remaining in the input buffer. This can be used to find out what bytes still remain in the input buffer after decompression has finished.- Returns:
- the total number of bytes remaining in the input buffer
-
needsInput
public boolean needsInput()Returns true if no data remains in the input buffer. This can be used to determine if one of thesetInput()
methods should be called in order to provide more input.- Returns:
- true if no data remains in the input buffer
-
needsDictionary
public boolean needsDictionary()Returns true if a preset dictionary is needed for decompression.- Returns:
- true if a preset dictionary is needed for decompression
- See Also:
-
finished
public boolean finished()Returns true if the end of the compressed data stream has been reached.- Returns:
- true if the end of the compressed data stream has been reached
-
inflate
Uncompresses bytes into specified buffer. Returns actual number of bytes uncompressed. A return value of 0 indicates that needsInput() or needsDictionary() should be called in order to determine if more input data or a preset dictionary is required. In the latter case, getAdler() can be used to get the Adler-32 value of the dictionary required.If the
setInput(ByteBuffer)
method was called to provide a buffer for input, the input buffer's position will be advanced by the number of bytes consumed by this operation, even in the event that aDataFormatException
is thrown.The remaining byte count will be reduced by the number of consumed input bytes. If the
setInput(ByteBuffer)
method was called to provide a buffer for input, the input buffer's position will be advanced the number of consumed bytes.These byte totals, as well as the total bytes read and the total bytes written values, will be updated even in the event that a
DataFormatException
is thrown to reflect the amount of data consumed and produced before the exception occurred.- Parameters:
output
- the buffer for the uncompressed dataoff
- the start offset of the datalen
- the maximum number of uncompressed bytes- Returns:
- the actual number of uncompressed bytes
- Throws:
DataFormatException
- if the compressed data format is invalid- See Also:
