How can I check if an InputStream is empty without reading from it?

Question

I want to know if an InputStream is empty, but without using the method read(). Is there a way to know if it\'s empty without reading from it?

Answer 1

public void run() {
    byte[] buffer = new byte[256];  
    int bytes;                      

    while (true) {
        try {
            bytes = mmInStream.read(buffer);
            mHandler.obtainMessage(RECIEVE_MESSAGE, bytes, -1, buffer).sendToTarget();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            break;
        }
    }
}
