A java program that creates WAV files [duplicate]

With Java:
I have a byte[] that represents a file.
How do I write this to a file (ie. C:\myfile.pdf)
I know it's done with InputStream, but I can't seem to work it out.

Use Apache Commons IO
FileUtils.writeByteArrayToFile(new File("pathname"), myByteArray)
Or, if you insist on making work for yourself...
try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("pathname")) {
fos.write(myByteArray);
//fos.close(); There is no more need for this line since you had created the instance of "fos" inside the try. And this will automatically close the OutputStream
}

Without any libraries:
try (FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(path)) {
stream.write(bytes);
}
With Google Guava:
Files.write(bytes, new File(path));
With Apache Commons:
FileUtils.writeByteArrayToFile(new File(path), bytes);
All of these strategies require that you catch an IOException at some point too.

Another solution using java.nio.file:
byte[] bytes = ...;
Path path = Paths.get("C:\\myfile.pdf");
Files.write(path, bytes);

Also since Java 7, one line with java.nio.file.Files:
Files.write(new File(filePath).toPath(), data);
Where data is your byte[] and filePath is a String. You can also add multiple file open options with the StandardOpenOptions class. Add throws or surround with try/catch.

From Java 7 onward you can use the try-with-resources statement to avoid leaking resources and make your code easier to read. More on that here.
To write your byteArray to a file you would do:
try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("fullPathToFile")) {
fos.write(byteArray);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}

Try an OutputStream or more specifically FileOutputStream

Basic example:
String fileName = "file.test";
BufferedOutputStream bs = null;
try {
FileOutputStream fs = new FileOutputStream(new File(fileName));
bs = new BufferedOutputStream(fs);
bs.write(byte_array);
bs.close();
bs = null;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
if (bs != null) try { bs.close(); } catch (Exception e) {}

File f = new File(fileName);
byte[] fileContent = msg.getByteSequenceContent();
Path path = Paths.get(f.getAbsolutePath());
try {
Files.write(path, fileContent);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Agent2.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

////////////////////////// 1] File to Byte [] ///////////////////
Path path = Paths.get(p);
byte[] data = null;
try {
data = Files.readAllBytes(path);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Agent1.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
/////////////////////// 2] Byte [] to File ///////////////////////////
File f = new File(fileName);
byte[] fileContent = msg.getByteSequenceContent();
Path path = Paths.get(f.getAbsolutePath());
try {
Files.write(path, fileContent);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Agent2.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

I know it's done with InputStream
Actually, you'd be writing to a file output...

This is a program where we are reading and printing array of bytes offset and length using String Builder and Writing the array of bytes offset length to the new file.

Android - How to read txt file in JAVA

Please Will some one help me out i am trying to read an Arabic .txt file and it always give me the Arabic word like this "????? ???"
private String ReadArabic() {
String words="";
try {
InputStream stream = getAssets().open("arabwords.txt");
int size = stream.available();
byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
stream.read(buffer);
stream.close();
words = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");
words = words.replaceAll("(\\r|\\n)", "");
} catch (IOException e) {
// Handle exceptions here
}
return words;
}

Try using: "cp864" instead of "UTF-8"

Its possible that your console is not set to
properly display UTF-8 characters.
The configuration of that depends
on the IDE. You might need to configure the same there.

it worked by using "cp1256"
Thanks Evey one
private String ReadArabic() {
String words="";
try {
InputStream stream = getAssets().open("arabwords.txt");
int size = stream.available();
byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
stream.read(buffer);
stream.close();
words = new String(buffer, "cp1256");
words = words.replaceAll("(\\r|\\n)", "");
} catch (IOException e) {
// Handle exceptions here
}
return words;

download a pdf using java

I'm writing a program to download a PDF file from server. I'm using some program given here Download file by passing URL using java code, this solution works fine for the sample URL provided in the first answer, but not for PDF, I'm replacing just the URL. Below is my code.

Here, This pdf has 73 pages, and in my folder, it is download as a PDF of 1KB, when opened in Acrobat Reader, it says that the file might be corrupted.
I've also tried the code provided here https://dzone.com/articles/java-how-save-download-file, but the result is same.
please let me know how can I fix this.
Thanks

If you check the downloaded file content, you can see it is html. The server is redirecting the original request to https url. Use url https://singztechmusings.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/maven_eclipse_and_osgi_working_together.pdf instead.
Or use http client with automatic redirect handling, ala http-commons

You define a Variable size = 1024 and use this to define your Buffer.
So logically you can only write 1 KB into it.
But if the input Stream reads more at once it will be lost ... So change your Buffer size to a value which would be able to contain most documents or try to determine the necessary size

Not in GZIP Format - JAVA

I'm trying to write compressed data to a file and then read in the data and decompress it using the GZIP library. I've tried changing all formatting to StandardCharsets.UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 and neither have fixed the GZIP format error. I'm wondering if it could possible have to do with the file I'm reading in? Here's the compression function:
public static byte[] compress(String originalFile, String compressFile) throws IOException {
// read in data from text file
// The name of the file to open.
String fileName = originalFile;
// This will reference one line at a time
String line = null;
String original = "";
try {
// FileReader reads text files in the default encoding.
FileReader fileReader =
new FileReader(fileName);
// Always wrap FileReader in BufferedReader.
BufferedReader bufferedReader =
new BufferedReader(fileReader);
while((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
original.concat(line);
}
// Always close files.
bufferedReader.close();
}
catch(FileNotFoundException ex) {
System.out.println(
"Unable to open file '" +
fileName + "'");
}
catch(IOException ex) {
System.out.println(
"Error reading file '"
+ fileName + "'");
// Or we could just do this:
// ex.printStackTrace();
}
// create a new output stream for original string
try (ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream())
{
try (GZIPOutputStream gzip = new GZIPOutputStream(out))
{
gzip.write(original.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
}
byte[] compressed = out.toByteArray();
out.close();
String compressedFileName = compressFile;
try {
// Assume default encoding.
FileWriter fileWriter =
new FileWriter(compressedFileName);
// Always wrap FileWriter in BufferedWriter.
BufferedWriter bufferedWriter =
new BufferedWriter(fileWriter);
// Note that write() does not automatically
// append a newline character.
String compressedStr = compressed.toString();
bufferedWriter.write(compressedStr);
// Always close files.
bufferedWriter.close();
}
catch(IOException ex) {
System.out.println(
"Error writing to file '"
+ fileName + "'");
// Or we could just do this:
// ex.printStackTrace();
}
return compressed;
}
}
(I'm receiving the error on the line in the following decompression function) -
GZIPInputStream compressedByteArrayStream = new GZIPInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(s.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)));
Decompression Function:
public static String decompress(String file) throws IOException {

String s = "";
File fileName = new File(file);

try {
// create FileInputStream object
fin = new FileInputStream(fileName);
// Reads up to certain bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes.
fin.read(compressed);
//create string from byte array
s = new String(compressed);
System.out.println("File content: " + s);
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("File not found" + e);

catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("Error while closing stream: " + ioe);
}
}
// create a new input string for compressed byte array
GZIPInputStream compressedByteArrayStream = new GZIPInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(s.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)));
ByteArrayOutputStream byteOutput = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
// create a string builder and byte reader for the compressed byte array
BufferedReader decompressionBr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(compressedByteArrayStream, StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
StringBuilder decompressionSb = new StringBuilder();
// write data to decompressed string
String line1;
while((line1 = decompressionBr.readLine()) != null) {
decompressionSb.append(line1);
}
decompressionBr.close();
int len;
String uncompressedStr = "";
while((len = compressedByteArrayStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
uncompressedStr = byteOutput.toString();
}
compressedByteArrayStream.close();
return uncompressedStr;
}
Here's the error message that i am receiving:

Any suggestions as to how I might be able to fix this?

When you read the file you discard the new line at the end of each line.
A more efficient option which does do this is to copy a block i.e. char[] at a time. You can also convert the text as you go rather than creating a String or a byte[].
BTW original.concat(line); returns the concatenated string which you are discarding.
The real problem is you write to one stream and close a different one. This means that if there is any buffered data at the end of the file (and this is highly likely) the end of the file will be truncated and when you read it it will complain that your file is incomplete or EOFException.
Here is a shorter example
public static void compress(String originalFile, String compressFile) throws IOException {
char[] buffer = new char[8192];
try (
FileReader reader = new FileReader(originalFile);
Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(
new GZIPOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(compressFile)));
) {
for (int len; (len = reader.read(buffer)) > 0; )
writer.write(buffer, 0, len);
}
}
In the decompress, don't encode binary as text and attempt to get back the same data. It will almost certainly be corrupted. Try to use a buffer and a loop like I did for compress. i.e. it shouldn't be any more complicated.

DES encrypt/decrypt from a file

I am writting a program where I take a string, encrypt it and then write it in a file. Then later, I read from the file the string, decrypt it and then modify it. Here's my code for DES encryption/decryption:
/* class for crypting and decrypting a file */
class DESEncrypter
{
private Cipher encryptionCipher;
private Cipher decryptionCipher;
public DESEncrypter (SecretKey key) throws Exception
{
encryptionCipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding");
encryptionCipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
decryptionCipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding");
decryptionCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
}
/* write to 'out' the encryption of the information read from 'in' */
public String encrypt(String unencryptedString)
{
String encryptedString = "";
try {
byte[] unencryptedByteArray = unencryptedString.getBytes("UTF8");
byte[] encryptedBytes = this.encryptionCipher.doFinal(unencryptedByteArray);
encryptedString = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(encryptedBytes);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(DESEncrypter.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
return encryptedString;
}
private static String bytes2String(byte[] bytes)
{
StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++)
{
stringBuffer.append((char) bytes[i]);
}
return stringBuffer.toString();
}
/* write to 'out' the information obtained by decrypting the information read from 'in' */
public String decrypt (String encryptedString) throws UnsupportedEncodingException
{
byte[] unencryptedByteArray = new byte[4096];
try {
// Encode bytes to base64 to get a string
byte[] decodedBytes = new sun.misc.BASE64Decoder().decodeBuffer(encryptedString);
// Decrypt
unencryptedByteArray = this.decryptionCipher.doFinal(decodedBytes);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(DESEncrypter.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
return bytes2String(unencryptedByteArray);
}
}
And this is the function where I write a encrypted String in a file:
public void writeToFileEncrypted(String filename, String owner, String departament)
{
try
{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File("files_encrypted")));
String crypt = "";
String aux;
while ((aux = br.readLine()) != null)
{
crypt += aux;
}
br.close();
String info = this.server.crypt.decrypt(crypt);
info += filename + " " + owner + " " + departament + "\n";
/* delete the old encryption */
File temp = new File("files_encrypted");
temp.delete();
String infoCrypt = this.server.crypt.encrypt(info);
File newFiles = new File("files_encrypted");
if (newFiles.createNewFile() == false)
{
log.severe("Failed to re-create the 'files_encrypted' file when trying to add a new file");
return;
}
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(newFiles));
bw.write(infoCrypt);
bw.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
log.warning("An exception was caught while trying to remove '" + clientName + "' from the banned list");
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
}
While the server runs, I can make modification to that String from file(run that function many time). The problem is when I close the server and then I open it again because I get the error:
javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded
This is how I read from file when the server opens:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File("files_encrypted")));
String crypto = new String();
String aux;
while ((aux = br.readLine()) != null)
{
crypto += aux;
readBytes++;
}
br.close();
System.out.println(readBytes);
info = this.crypt.decrypt(crypto);
Why do I get that error? What I'm doing wrong? I must write the encrypted String in file some other way?
LATER EDIT:
I've changed the function that read a String from a file, decrypt it, modify it , encrypt it and then write it in file.
public void writeToFileEncrypted(String filename, String owner, String departament)
{
try
{
File f = new File("files_encrypted");
int nrRead = 0;
String info = null;
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
int ch;
while ((ch = fis.read()) != -1)
{
sb.append((char)ch);
nrRead++;
}
fis.close();
StringBuilder sba = null;
if (nrRead != 0)
{
info = this.server.crypt.decrypt(new String(sb.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"), "UTF-8"));
sba = new StringBuilder(info);
sba.append(filename + " " + owner + " " + departament + " ");
}
else
{
sba = new StringBuilder(filename + " " + owner + " " + departament + " ");
}
/* delete the old encryption */
File temp = new File("files_encrypted");
temp.delete();
//System.out.println("before: " + sba.toString());
String infoCrypt = this.server.crypt.encrypt(sba.toString());
//System.out.println("after: " + infoCrypt);
File newFiles = new File("files_encrypted");
if (newFiles.createNewFile() == false)
{
log.severe("Failed to re-create the 'files_encrypted' file when trying to add a new file");
return;
}
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(newFiles);
fos.write(infoCrypt.getBytes("UTF-8"));
fos.flush();
fos.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
log.warning("An exception was caught while trying to remove '" + clientName + "' from the banned list");
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
}
I've also modified where I read the info from file when server opens for the first time:
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
int ch;
while ((ch = fis.read()) != -1)
{
sb.append((char)ch);
readBytes++;
}
fis.close();
if (readBytes != 0)
{
System.out.println("on: " + sb.toString());
info = this.crypt.decrypt(new String(sb.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"), "UTF-8"));
System.out.println("load: " + info);
}
}
At the System.out.println with "on: " what I read from file is exactly what I've written encrypted, without any spaces or new lines. If I read with read(buffer), where buffer is byte[], it seems that adds a lot of spaces.
Although I've made all this modifications I still get the error javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded
Has somebody any idea what's going on here?

There are a few things here.
private static String bytes2String(byte[] bytes)
Is dodgy, you are casting a byte to a char in this method so there is no character encoding specified here. To convert bytes to characters you should just use the String constructor that takes an array of bytes and an encoding. e.g.
byte[] tmp = new byte[10];
String a = new String(tmp, "UTF-8");
Be careful using BufferedReaders + .readLine() - this will strip out any newline characters from your file as you read it unless you add them back into your buffer. Although I don't think this is your problem.
But I think the best way to simplify your code is to write the encoded bytes via an OutputStream directly to the file. Unless you need to send the contents of the file over a transport that doesn't like binary data, there is no need to base64 encode. Just use Input/OutputStreams to write the encrypted bytes direct to disk.
RESPONSE TO LATER EDIT:
You are still mixing up your use of binary data (bytes) and character data (String/chars). You can't do things like:
int ch;
while ((ch = fis.read()) != -1)
{
sb.append((char)ch);
The input stream is retuning bytes, a byte is not a character and just casting it to one is going to cause problems. When using encryption the output from the encryption operation is binary data, and the input to the decryption operation is also binary data. The fact that your are encrypting text is something you deal with before the encryption occurs, and after the decryption occurs. You basic operation should go along the following lines.
Take the text you want to encrypt and convert it to bytes, specifying an encoding using the .getBytes(String charsetName) on your String.
Pass these bytes into your encryption routine
Write the resulting bytes directly to disk
To decrypt:
Read the bytes from the file
Pass the bytes to your decryption routine (as bytes! no Strings/ text involved)
Take the out put bytes and re-construct you String using new String(byte[] bytes, String charsetName) specifying the same encoding as before.
You might find the following (untested, but should work) methods useful:
public byte[] readBinaryFile(File f) throws IOException
{
byte[] contents = new byte[(int)f.length()];
BufferedInputStream bis = null;
try
{
bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(f));
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
dis.readFully(contents);
}
finally
{
if(bis != null)
{
bis.close();
}
}
return contents;
}
public void writeBinaryFile(byte[] contents, File f) throws IOException
{
BufferedOutputStream bos = null;
try
{
bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f));
bos.write(contents);
}
finally
{
if(bos != null)
{
bos.close();
}
}
}
So you will also need to change the interface, and internals of your encrypt and decrypt methods so they take and return byte arrays, and ditch the base64 encoding.

You have several problems. The reading and decrypting process should be symmetric with the encrypting and writing process. But
you transform your String into a byte[] using getBytes("UTF8"), which is fine, but you don't use new String(byte[], "UTF8") to do the reverse operation.
you write a whole String to a file, including potential line breaks, but you read it line by line and concatenate each line, thus losing the line breaks in the process. You must read each and every char that has been written.
Also, relying on undocumented, unsupported classes like sun.misc.Base64Encoder/Decoder shouldn't be done. Use Apache commons-codec to find a documented Base64 encoding, guaranteed to still be there when the next JDK comes out, and which can be used on every JVM, including non-Sun JVMs.

I think it is in the initialization
SecureRandom sr = new SecureRandom();
cipher.init( Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, desKey ,sr);

Not sure this is the primary problem, but when you return the decrypted String from decrypt(), you should be using:
return new String(unencryptedByteArray, "UTF-8");
