ByteBuffer getShort() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 17 Jun, 2019

getShort()

The getShort() method of java.nio.ByteBuffer class is used to read the next two bytes at this buffer's current position, composing them into a short value according to the current byte order, and then increments the position by two. Syntax:

public abstract short getShort()

Return Value: This method returns the short value at the buffer's current position. Throws: This method throws BufferUnderflowException if there are fewer than four bytes remaining in this buffer. Below are the examples to illustrate the getShort() method: Examples 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// getShort() method

import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Declaring the capacity of the ByteBuffer
        int capacity = 6;

        // Creating the ByteBuffer
        try {

            // creating object of ByteBuffer
            // and allocating size capacity
            ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.allocate(capacity);

            // putting the short value in the bytebuffer
            bb.asShortBuffer()
                .put((short)1034)
                .put((short)1035)
                .put((short)1036);

            // rewind the Bytebuffer
            bb.rewind();

            // print the ByteBuffer
            System.out.println("Original ByteBuffer: ");
            for (int i = 1; i <= capacity / 2; i++)
                System.out.print(bb.getShort() + " ");

            // rewind the Bytebuffer
            bb.rewind();

            // Reads the long at this buffer's current position
            // using getShort() method
            long value = bb.getShort();

            // print the long value
            System.out.println("\n\nByte Value: " + value);

            // Reads the short at this buffer's next position
            // using getShort() method
            long value1 = bb.getShort();

            // print the short value
            System.out.print("\nNext Byte Value: " + value1);
        }

        catch (BufferUnderflowException e) {

            System.out.println("\nException Thrown : " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Original ByteBuffer: 
1034 1035 1036 

Byte Value: 1034

Next Byte Value: 1035

getLong(int index)

The getLong(int index) method of ByteBuffer is used to read four bytes at the given index, composing them into a float value according to the current byte order. Syntax:

public abstract long getLong(int index)

Parameters: This method takes index (The index from which the Byte will be read) as a parameter. Return Value: This method returns the long value at the given index. Exception: This method throws IndexOutOfBoundsException. If index is negative or not smaller than the buffer’s limit this exception is thrown. Below are the examples to illustrate the getLong(int index) method: Examples 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// getShort() method

            // creating object of ByteBuffer
            // and allocating size capacity
            ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.allocate(capacity);

            // putting the short value in the bytebuffer
            bb.asShortBuffer()
                .put((short)1034)
                .put((short)1036);

            bb.rewind();

            // print the ByteBuffer
            System.out.println("Original ByteBuffer: ");
            for (int i = 1; i <= capacity / 2; i++)
                System.out.print(bb.getShort() + " ");

            // rewind the Bytebuffer
            bb.rewind();

            // Reads the short at this buffer's next position
            // using getShort() method
            long value1 = bb.getShort(2);

            // print the short value
            System.out.print("\nNext Byte Value: " + value1);
        }
