public final class FileBackedOutputStream
extends OutputStream

An OutputStream that starts buffering to a byte array, but switches to file buffering once the data reaches a configurable size.

When this stream creates a temporary file, it restricts the file's permissions to the current user or, in the case of Android, the current app. If that is not possible (as is the case under the very old Android Ice Cream Sandwich release), then this stream throws an exception instead of creating a file that would be more accessible. (This behavior is new in Guava 32.0.0. Previous versions would create a file that is more accessible, as discussed in Guava issue 2575. TODO: b/283778848 - Fill in CVE number once it's available.)

Temporary files created by this stream may live in the local filesystem until either:

• reset() is called (removing the data in this stream and deleting the file), or...
• this stream (or, more precisely, its asByteSource() view) is finalized during garbage collection, AND this stream was not constructed with the 1-arg constructor or the 2-arg constructor passing false in the second parameter.

This class is thread-safe.

Since:

1.0

Constructor	Description
FileBackedOutputStream(int fileThreshold)	Creates a new instance that uses the given file threshold, and does not reset the data when the ByteSource returned by asByteSource() is finalized.
FileBackedOutputStream(int fileThreshold, boolean resetOnFinalize)	Creates a new instance that uses the given file threshold, and optionally resets the data when the ByteSource returned by asByteSource() is finalized.

Constructor Detail

FileBackedOutputStream

public FileBackedOutputStream(int fileThreshold)

Creates a new instance that uses the given file threshold, and does not reset the data when the ByteSource returned by asByteSource() is finalized.

Parameters:

fileThreshold - the number of bytes before the stream should switch to buffering to a file

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if fileThreshold is negative

FileBackedOutputStream

public FileBackedOutputStream(int fileThreshold,
                              boolean resetOnFinalize)

Creates a new instance that uses the given file threshold, and optionally resets the data when the ByteSource returned by asByteSource() is finalized.

Parameters:

fileThreshold - the number of bytes before the stream should switch to buffering to a file

resetOnFinalize - if true, the reset() method will be called when the ByteSource returned by asByteSource() is finalized.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if fileThreshold is negative

Method Detail

asByteSource

public ByteSource asByteSource()

Returns a readable ByteSource view of the data that has been written to this stream.

15.0

reset

public void reset()
           throws IOException

Calls close() if not already closed, and then resets this object back to its initial state, for reuse. If data was buffered to a file, it will be deleted.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurred while deleting the file buffer
