Java ByteBuffer to String

Question

Is this a correct approach to convert ByteBuffer to String in this way,

String k = \"abcd\";
ByteBuffer b = ByteBuffer.wrap(k.getBytes());
String v = new Str         


        

Answer 1

Here is a simple function for converting a byte buffer to string:

public String byteBufferToString(ByteBuffer bufferData) {
    byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferData.readableByteCount()];
    // read bufferData and insert into buffer 
    data.read(buffer);
    // CharsetUtil supports UTF_16, ASCII, and many more
    String text = new String(buffer, CharsetUtil.UTF_8);
    System.out.println("Text: "+text);
    return text;
}
