Convert float[] to byte[] to float[] again

Question

So what I\'m trying to do here is get a float[], convert it to byte[], send it through the network as a datagram packet and then convert it back to

Answer 1

Another way... use ByteArrayOutputStream/DataOutputStream for output

float fArr[] = ...;
ByteArrayOutputStream bas = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
DataOutputStream ds = new DataOutputStream(bas);
for (float f : fArr) 
    ds.writeFloat(f);
byte[] bytes = bas.toByteArray();

Use ByteArrayInputStream/DataInputStream for input

byte[] buffer = ...;
ByteArrayInputStream bas = new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer);
DataInputStream ds = new DataInputStream(bas);
float[] fArr = new float[buffer.length / 4];  // 4 bytes per float
for (int i = 0; i < fArr.length; i++)
{
    fArr[i] = ds.readFloat();
}
