Like this:
InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(exampleString.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
Note that this assumes that you want an InputStream that is a stream of bytes that represent your original string encoded as UTF-8.
For versions of Java less than 7, replace StandardCharsets.UTF_8
with "UTF-8"
.
I find that using Apache Commons IO makes my life much easier.
String source = "This is the source of my input stream";
InputStream in = org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.toInputStream(source, "UTF-8");
You may find that the library also offer many other shortcuts to commonly done tasks that you may be able to use in your project.
You could use a StringReader and convert the reader to an input stream using the solution in this other stackoverflow post.
