Charset.Decode(ByteBuffer) Method

Definition

Convenience method that decodes bytes in this charset into Unicode characters.

[Android.Runtime.Register("decode", "(Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;)Ljava/nio/CharBuffer;", "")]
public Java.Nio.CharBuffer? Decode (Java.Nio.ByteBuffer? bb);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("decode", "(Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;)Ljava/nio/CharBuffer;", "")>]
member this.Decode : Java.Nio.ByteBuffer -> Java.Nio.CharBuffer

Parameters

bb
ByteBuffer

The byte buffer to be decoded

Returns

A char buffer containing the decoded characters

Attributes

Remarks

Convenience method that decodes bytes in this charset into Unicode characters.

An invocation of this method upon a charset cs returns the same result as the expression

cs.newDecoder()
                  .onMalformedInput(CodingErrorAction.REPLACE)
                  .onUnmappableCharacter(CodingErrorAction.REPLACE)
                  .decode(bb); 

except that it is potentially more efficient because it can cache decoders between successive invocations.

This method always replaces malformed-input and unmappable-character sequences with this charset's default replacement byte array. In order to detect such sequences, use the CharsetDecoder#decode(java.nio.ByteBuffer) method directly.
