Use of isDirect() method of ByteBuffer class in java.

In this tutorial, we will check buffer is direct or not.

ByteBuffer API.

The java.nio.ByteBuffer class extends java.nio.Buffer class. It provides the following methods:

Return type	Method	Description
abstract boolean	isDirect()	The isDirect() method tells whether this associated buffer is direct or not.
static ByteBuffer	wrap(byte[] array)	The wrap(...) method create a byte buffer by wrapping the associated byte array.
static ByteBuffer	allocate( int capacity)	The allocate() method allocate a byte buffer.
static ByteBuffer	allocateDirect( int capacity)	The allocateDirect()method allocate a direct byte buffer.

code


import java.nio.*;

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;



public class BufferIsDirect {

  public static final int size = 256;



	public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {

    byte[] bytes = new byte[size];

    ByteBuffer bbuf = ByteBuffer.wrap(bytes);

    boolean isDirect = bbuf.isDirect();

    if (isDirect) {

   System.out.println("ByteBuffer direct allocated");

    } else {

   System.out.println("ByteBuffer not direct allocated");

    }

    bbuf = ByteBuffer.allocate(size);

    isDirect = bbuf.isDirect();

    if (isDirect) {

      System.out.println("ByteBuffer direct allocated");

    } else {

   System.out.println("ByteBuffer not direct allocated");

    }

    bbuf = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(size);

    isDirect = bbuf.isDirect();

    if (isDirect) {

      System.out.println("ByteBuffer direct allocated");

    } else {

   System.out.println("ByteBuffer not direct allocated");

    }

  }

}

Following is the output if you run the application:

C:\>java BufferIsDirect
ByteBuffer not direct allocated
ByteBuffer not direct allocated
ByteBuffer direct allocateed
