Construct a java.io.File that reads from a byte array

Question

I\'m using an API that requires a java.io.File as input, but I\'d like to just send the API a byte array. Is there a way to create a File object that will read from my byte

Answer 1

A File does not read anything. It represents a file (or directory) object in the Operating System (or virtual file, etc.). To read from it, you wil have to create Readers or Streams, which the API will do on its own. If the API does not provide methods to pass in a Reader or InputStream, you are out of luck.
