I have this to send string or integer but if i want to send a string array what should i use?
// A string ("Hello, World").
out.write("Hello, World".getBytes());
// An integer (123).
out.write(ByteBuffer.allocate(4).putInt(123).array());
Thanks in advance
Just write the array
ObjectOutputStream out = ...
String[] array = ...
out.writeObject(array);
If you're using ObjectOutputStream
, there's no need to muck about with byte arrays - the class provides high-level methods to read and write entire objects.
Similarly:
out.writeInt(123);
out.writeObject("Hello, World");
You only need to use the write(byte[])
methods if you're using the raw, low-level OutputStream
class.
