Secure store replacement for the java.io.RandomAccessFile class. More...

Inheritance diagram for RandomAccessFile:

Description

This class is a replacement for the java.io.RandomAccessFile class for accessing the BlackBerry Dynamics secure file system.

See the com.good.gd.file package documentation for an introduction to the secure file system.

This class supports both read and write operations, and maintains a file pointer for every open file. The file pointer can be repositioned forwards or backwards to any position in the file. This is different to the FileInputStream and FileOutputStream classes. The FileInputStream class supports only read operations. The FileOutputStream class supports only write operations and doesn't support repositioning of the file pointer.

This class has the same programming interface as the java.io.RandomAccessFile class, with the following exceptions.

Only the following modes are supported: read-only "r", read-write "rw".

See also: java.io.RandomAccessFile class reference on the android.com developer website for details of all methods.

Exceptions

IOException

◆ read() [2/3]
