Specified by:

getStreams in class DataSource

Returns:

The collection of streams for this source.

Since:

BlackBerry API 4.7.0

start

public void start()
           throws IOException

Specified by:

stop in class DataSource

Throws:

IOException - Thrown if the DataSource cannot be stopped due to some IO problems.

Since:

BlackBerry API 4.7.0

getContentDescriptor

public ContentDescriptor getContentDescriptor()

Description copied from interface: SourceStream

Get the current type for this stream.

Specified by:

getContentDescriptor in interface SourceStream

Returns:

The current ContentDescriptor for this stream.

Since:

BlackBerry API 4.7.0

getContentLength

public long getContentLength()

Description copied from interface: SourceStream

Get the size in bytes of the content on this stream.

Specified by:

getContentLength in interface SourceStream

Returns:

The content length in bytes. -1 is returned if the length is not known.

Since:

BlackBerry API 4.7.0

getSeekType

public int getSeekType()

Description copied from interface: SourceStream

Find out if the stream is seekable. The return value can be one of these three: NOT_SEEKABLE, SEEKABLE_TO_START and RANDOM_ACCESSIBLE. If the return value is SEEKABLE_TO_START, it means that the stream can only be repositioned to the beginning of the stream. If the return value is RANDOM_ACCESSIBLE, the stream can be seeked anywhere within the stream.

Specified by:

getSeekType in interface SourceStream

Returns:

Returns an enumerated value to indicate the level of seekability.

Since:

BlackBerry API 4.7.0

getTransferSize

public int getTransferSize()

Description copied from interface: SourceStream

Get the size of a "logical" chunk of media data from the source. This method can be used to determine the minimum size of the buffer to use in conjunction with the read method to read data from the source.

Specified by:

getTransferSize in interface SourceStream

Returns:

The minimum size of the buffer needed to read a "logical" chunk of data from the source. Returns -1 if the size cannot be determined.

SourceStream.read(byte[], int, int)

Since:

BlackBerry API 4.7.0

read

public int read(byte[] b,
                int off,
                int len)
         throws IOException

Description copied from interface: SourceStream

Reads up to len bytes of data from the input stream into an array of bytes. An attempt is made to read as many as len bytes, but a smaller number may be read. The number of bytes actually read is returned as an integer.

This method blocks until input data is available, end of file is detected, or an exception is thrown.

If b is null, a NullPointerException is thrown.

If off is negative, or len is negative, or off+len is greater than the length of the array b, then an IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown.

If len is zero, then no bytes are read and 0 is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt to read at least one byte. If no byte is available because the stream is at the end of the file, the value -1 is returned; otherwise, at least one byte is read and stored into b.

The first byte read is stored into element b[off], the next one into b[off+1], and so on. The number of bytes read is, at most, equal to len. Let k be the number of bytes actually read; these bytes will be stored in elements b[off] through b[off+k-1], leaving elements b[off+k] through b[off+len-1] unaffected.

If the first byte cannot be read for any reason other than end of file, then an IOException is thrown. In particular, an IOException is thrown if the input stream has been closed.

Specified by:

read in interface SourceStream

Parameters:

b - the buffer into which the data is read.

off - the start offset in array b at which the data is written.

len - the maximum number of bytes to read.

Returns:

the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or -1 if there is no more data because the end of the stream has been reached.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

Since:

BlackBerry API 4.7.0

seek

public long seek(long where)
          throws IOException

Description copied from interface: SourceStream

Seek to the specified point in the stream. The seek method may, for a variety of reasons, fail to seek to the specified position. For example, it may be asked to seek to a position beyond the size of the stream; or the stream may only be seekable to the beginning (getSeekType returns SEEKABLE_TO_START). The return value indicates whether seeking is successful. If it is successful, the value returned will be the same as the given position. Otherwise, the return value will indicate what the new position is.

If the given position is negative, seek will treat that as 0 and attempt to seek to 0.

An IOException will be thrown if an I/O error occurs, e.g. when the stream comes from a remote connection and the connection is broken.

Specified by:

seek in interface SourceStream

Parameters:

where - The position to seek to.

Returns:

The new stream position.

Throws:

IOException

Since:

BlackBerry API 4.7.0

tell

public long tell()

Description copied from interface: SourceStream

Obtain the current position in the stream.

Specified by:

tell in interface SourceStream

Returns:

The current position in the stream.

Since:

BlackBerry API 4.7.0

getControl

public Control getControl(String controlType)

Description copied from interface: Controllable

Obtain the object that implements the specified Control interface.

If the specified Control interface is not supported then null is returned.

If the Controllable supports multiple objects that implement the same specified Control interface, only one of them will be returned. To obtain all the Control's of that type, use the getControls method and check the list for the requested type.

Specified by:

getControl in interface Controllable

Parameters:

controlType - the class name of the Control. The class name should be given either as the fully-qualified name of the class; or if the package of the class is not given, the package javax.microedition.media.control is assumed.

Returns:

the object that implements the control, or null.

Since:

BlackBerry API 4.7.0

getControls

public Control[] getControls()

Description copied from interface: Controllable

Obtain the collection of Controls from the object that implements this interface.

Since a single object can implement multiple Control interfaces, it's necessary to check each object against different Control types. For example:

Controllable controllable;
:
Control cs[];
cs = controllable.getControls();
for (int i = 0; i < cs.length; i++) {
if (cs[i] instanceof ControlTypeA)
doSomethingA();
if (cs[i] instanceof ControlTypeB)
doSomethingB();
// etc.
}


The list of Control objects returned will not contain any duplicates. And the list will not change over time.

If no Control is supported, a zero length array is returned.

Specified by:

getControls in interface Controllable

Returns:

the collection of Control objects.
