# Class MemoryCacheImageInputStream

java.lang.Object
javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStreamImpl
javax.imageio.stream.MemoryCacheImageInputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Closeable`, `DataInput`, `AutoCloseable`, `ImageInputStream`

public class MemoryCacheImageInputStream extends ImageInputStreamImpl
An implementation of `ImageInputStream` that gets its input from a regular `InputStream`. A memory buffer is used to cache at least the data between the discard position and the current read position.

In general, it is preferable to use a `FileCacheImageInputStream` when reading from a regular `InputStream`. This class is provided for cases where it is not possible to create a writable temporary file.

  Description
  `MemoryCacheImageInputStream(InputStream stream)`
  Constructs a `MemoryCacheImageInputStream` that will read from a given `InputStream`.

- ## Method Summary

  Modifier and Type
  Method
  Description
  `void`
  `close()`
  Closes this `MemoryCacheImageInputStream`, freeing the cache.
  `protected void`
  `finalize()`
  Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
  Finalization has been deprecated for removal.
  `boolean`
  `isCached()`
  Returns `true` since this `ImageInputStream` caches data in order to allow seeking backwards.
  `boolean`
  `isCachedFile()`
  Returns `false` since this `ImageInputStream` does not maintain a file cache.
  `boolean`
  `isCachedMemory()`
  Returns `true` since this `ImageInputStream` maintains a main memory cache.
  `int`
  `read()`
  Reads a single byte from the stream and returns it as an `int` between 0 and 255.
  `int`
  `read(byte[] b, int off, int len)`
  Reads up to `len` bytes from the stream, and stores them into `b` starting at index `off`.

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### MemoryCacheImageInputStream

    public MemoryCacheImageInputStream(InputStream stream)
    Constructs a `MemoryCacheImageInputStream` that will read from a given `InputStream`.
    Parameters:
      `stream` - an `InputStream` to read from.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `stream` is `null`.

- ## Method Details

  - ### read

    public int read() throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `ImageInputStreamImpl`
    Reads a single byte from the stream and returns it as an `int` between 0 and 255. If EOF is reached, `-1` is returned.

    Subclasses must provide an implementation for this method. The subclass implementation should update the stream position before exiting.

    The bit offset within the stream must be reset to zero before the read occurs.

    Specified by:
      `read` in interface `ImageInputStream`
    Specified by:
      `read` in class `ImageInputStreamImpl`
    Returns:
      the value of the next byte in the stream, or `-1` if EOF is reached.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if the stream has been closed.

  - ### read

    public int read(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `ImageInputStreamImpl`
    Reads up to `len` bytes from the stream, and stores them into `b` starting at index `off`. If no bytes can be read because the end of the stream has been reached, `-1` is returned.

    The bit offset within the stream must be reset to zero before the read occurs.

    Subclasses must provide an implementation for this method. The subclass implementation should update the stream position before exiting.

    Specified by:
      `read` in interface `ImageInputStream`
    Specified by:
      `read` in class `ImageInputStreamImpl`
    Parameters:
      `b` - an array of bytes to be written to.
      `off` - the starting position within `b` to write to.
      `len` - the maximum number of bytes to read.
    Returns:
      the number of bytes actually read, or `-1` to indicate EOF.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

  - ### isCached

    public boolean isCached()
    Returns `true` since this `ImageInputStream` caches data in order to allow seeking backwards.
    Specified by:
      `isCached` in interface `ImageInputStream`
    Overrides:
      `isCached` in class `ImageInputStreamImpl`
    Returns:
      `true`.
    See Also:
      - `isCachedMemory()`
      - `isCachedFile()`

  - ### isCachedFile

    public boolean isCachedFile()
    Returns `false` since this `ImageInputStream` does not maintain a file cache.
    Specified by:
      `isCachedFile` in interface `ImageInputStream`
    Overrides:
      `isCachedFile` in class `ImageInputStreamImpl`
    Returns:
      `false`.
    See Also:
      - `isCached()`
      - `isCachedMemory()`

  - ### isCachedMemory

    public boolean isCachedMemory()
    Returns `true` since this `ImageInputStream` maintains a main memory cache.
    Specified by:
      `isCachedMemory` in interface `ImageInputStream`
    Overrides:
      `isCachedMemory` in class `ImageInputStreamImpl`
    Returns:
      `true`.
    See Also:
      - `isCached()`
      - `isCachedFile()`

  - ### close

    public void close() throws IOException
    Closes this `MemoryCacheImageInputStream`, freeing the cache. The source `InputStream` is not closed.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

  - ### finalize

    @Deprecated(since="9", forRemoval=true) protected void finalize() throws Throwable
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    Finalization has been deprecated for removal. See `Object.finalize()` for background information and details about migration options.
    Finalizes this object prior to garbage collection. The `close` method is called to close any open input source. This method should not be called from application code.
    Overrides:
      `finalize` in class `ImageInputStreamImpl`
    Throws:
      `Throwable` - if an error occurs during superclass finalization.
