Java.Nio.Channels.FileChannel.Read Method
Reads bytes from this file channel into a subset of the given buffers.

Syntax

[Android.Runtime.Register("read", "([Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;II)J", "GetRead_arrayLjava_nio_ByteBuffer_IIHandler")]
public abstract long Read (Java.Nio.ByteBuffer[] buffers, int start, int number)

Parameters

buffers
the array of byte buffers into which the bytes will be copied.
start
the index of the first buffer to store bytes in.
number
the maximum number of buffers to store bytes in.

Returns

Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.

Exceptions

TypeReason
Java.Nio.Channels.AsynchronousCloseExceptionif this channel is closed by another thread during this read operation.
Java.Nio.Channels.ClosedByInterruptExceptionif the thread is interrupted by another thread during this read operation.
Java.Nio.Channels.ClosedChannelExceptionif this channel is closed.
Java.Lang.IndexOutOfBoundsExceptionif start or number , or if start + number is greater than the size of buffers.
Java.IO.IOExceptionif another I/O error occurs; details are in the message.
Java.Nio.Channels.NonReadableChannelExceptionif the channel has not been opened in a mode that permits reading.

Remarks

Reads bytes from this file channel into a subset of the given buffers. This method attempts to read all remaining() bytes from length byte buffers, in order, starting at targets[offset]. It increases the file position by the number of bytes actually read. The number of bytes actually read is returned.

If a read operation is in progress, subsequent threads will block until the read is completed and will then contend for the ability to read.
