how to append a byte to an array of bytes

  Asked By: Adelina    Date: May 13    Category: Java    Views: 6210
  

I'd like to ask if anyone knows how to append a byte to an array of bytes..


I tried the following:

1:

byte[] a;

// some operation to give array "a" a some values

byte b;

// some operations to give "b" a value

byte c[a.length + 1];

c = a;

c[a.length + 1] = b;


2:


byte[] a;

// some operation to give array "a" a some values

byte b;

// some operations to give "b" a value

byte c[];

c = a;

c[a.length + 1] = b;


none of them worked.

your statements will not work

1: c = a;
2: c[a.length + 1] = b;

i guess in 2: you must be getting ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException


following will work


byte [] c= new byte[a.length+1];
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++) c[i]=a[i];
c[a.length]=b;

Unless you have to use the array  notation, you may want to look at the
Vector or ArrayList classes. They automatically handle resizing, but
you have to use the wrapper classes and casts (at least until Java 1.5
is released).
