Java Iterate Bits in Byte Array

Question

How can i iterate bits in a byte array?

Answer 1

public class ByteArrayBitIterable implements Iterable {
    private final byte[] array;

    public ByteArrayBitIterable(byte[] array) {
        this.array = array;
    }

    public Iterator iterator() {
        return new Iterator() {
            private int bitIndex = 0;
            private int arrayIndex = 0;

            public boolean hasNext() {
                return (arrayIndex < array.length) && (bitIndex < 8);
            }

            public Boolean next() {
                Boolean val = (array[arrayIndex] >> (7 - bitIndex) & 1) == 1;
                bitIndex++;
                if (bitIndex == 8) {
                    bitIndex = 0;
                    arrayIndex++;
                }
                return val;
            }

            public void remove() {
                throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
            }
        };
    }

    public static void main(String[] a) {
        ByteArrayBitIterable test = new ByteArrayBitIterable(
                   new byte[]{(byte)0xAA, (byte)0xAA});
        for (boolean b : test)
            System.out.println(b);
    }
}
