public class DataStreamLE
extends DataStream

DataStreamLE can be attached to any Stream such as a PortConnector, PDBFile, or ByteArrayStream, which lets you read and write standard Java data types like int, double, and totalcross.lang.String in a simple manner. Here's an example:

 PortConnector port = new PortConnector(9600, 0);
 DataStream ds = new DataStream(port);
 ds.writeString("Hello");
 int status = ds.readUnsignedByte();
 if (status == 1)
 {
    ds.writeString("Pi");
    ds.writeDouble(3.14);
 }
 port.close();
 

Important!: All methods read and write numeric data in the little endian format (Intel format). For more information, see this.

               throws IOException

Description copied from class: DataStream

Writes the totalcross.lang.String as a char array. The chars are read using the charAt method from the totalcross.lang.String class. This is method is faster than the other writeChars method on blackberry, but slower on other devices.

The char array size is limited to 65535 characters.

Overrides:

writeChars in class DataStream

Parameters:

s - The totalcross.lang.String to be written. Must not be null!

len - The maximum number of chars to be written. Must be less than the String's length.
