SequenceInputStream.Read Method

Definition

Reads the next byte of data from this input stream.

[Android.Runtime.Register("read", "()I", "GetReadHandler")]
public override int Read ();
[<Android.Runtime.Register("read", "()I", "GetReadHandler")>]
override this.Read : unit -> int

Returns

the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the stream is reached.

Attributes

Exceptions

if an error occurs while reading the current source input stream.

Remarks

Reads the next byte of data from this input stream. The byte is returned as an int in the range 0 to 255. If no byte is available because the end of the stream has been reached, the value -1 is returned. This method blocks until input data is available, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

This method tries to read one character from the current substream. If it reaches the end of the stream, it calls the close method of the current substream and begins reading from the next substream.
