This is simple exmaple for converting string object to a InputStream and then read it using the BufferedReader.
package javabeat.net.core; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.InputStreamReader; public class StringToInputStreamExample { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { String sampleString = "This is a example for String To InputStream"; // Convert String into InputStream using getBytes method InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(sampleString.getBytes()); // Read using BufferedReader BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is)); String line; while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) { System.out.println(line); } br.close(); } }
