Get internal byte array from ByteArrayInputStream

Question

I want to get the internal byte array from ByteArrayInputStream. I don't want to extends that class or write it into another byte array. Is there a utility class that help me do that?

Thanks,

You can not get access to the same byte array, but you can easily copy the contents of the stream:

public byte[] read(ByteArrayInputStream bais) {
     byte[] array = new byte[bais.available()];
     bais.read(array);

     return array;
}
