如果你使用ByteArrayOutputStream，你会做一个额外的拷贝。如果你在开始读取流之前知道它的长度(例如，InputStream实际上是FileInputStream，你可以在文件上调用file.length()，或者InputStream是一个zipfile条目InputStream，你可以调用zipEntry.length())，那么直接写入byte[]数组会更好——它使用一半的内存，并节省时间。

// Read the file contents into a byte[] array
byte[] buf = new byte[inputStreamLength];
int bytesRead = Math.max(0, inputStream.read(buf));

// If needed: for safety, truncate the array if the file may somehow get
// truncated during the read operation
byte[] contents = bytesRead == inputStreamLength ? buf
                  : Arrays.copyOf(buf, bytesRead);

注意:上面的最后一行处理的是在读取流时被截断的文件，如果你需要处理这种可能性，但是如果在读取流时文件变长了，byte[]数组中的内容将不会被延长以包括新的文件内容，数组将简单地被截断为旧的长度inputStreamLength。

使用普通Java的DataInputStream和它的readFully方法(至少从Java 1.4开始存在):

...
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) file.length()];
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
dis.readFully(bytes);
...

这个方法还有其他一些形式，但在这个用例中，我一直使用这个方法。

请参阅InputStream.available()文档:

It is particularly important to realize that you must not use this method to size a container and assume that you can read the entirety of the stream without needing to resize the container. Such callers should probably write everything they read to a ByteArrayOutputStream and convert that to a byte array. Alternatively, if you're reading from a file, File.length returns the current length of the file (though assuming the file's length can't change may be incorrect, reading a file is inherently racy).

如果由于某种原因，它不在表中，则将其包装在DataInputStream中，只需使用read来锤击它，直到它给您一个-1或您所要求的整个块。

public int readFully(InputStream in, byte[] data) throws IOException {
    int offset = 0;
    int bytesRead;
    boolean read = false;
    while ((bytesRead = in.read(data, offset, data.length - offset)) != -1) {
        read = true;
        offset += bytesRead;
        if (offset >= data.length) {
            break;
        }
    }
    return (read) ? offset : -1;
}

另一种情况是在发送请求到服务器并等待响应后，通过流获得正确的字节数组。

/**
         * Begin setup TCP connection to PC app
         * to open integrate connection between mobile app and pc app (or mobile app)
         */
        mSocket = new Socket(IP, port);
       // mSocket.setSoTimeout(30000);

        DataOutputStream mDos = new DataOutputStream(mSocket.getOutputStream());

        String str = "MobileRequest#" + params[0] + "#<EOF>";

        mDos.write(str.getBytes());

        try {
            Thread.sleep(1000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        /* Since data are accepted as byte, all of them will be collected in the
        following byte array which initialised with accepted data length. */
        DataInputStream mDis = new DataInputStream(mSocket.getInputStream());
        byte[] data = new byte[mDis.available()];

        // Collecting data into byte array
        for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
            data[i] = mDis.readByte();

        // Converting collected data in byte array into String.
        String RESPONSE = new String(data);

这是我的复制粘贴版本:

@SuppressWarnings("empty-statement")
public static byte[] inputStreamToByte(InputStream is) throws IOException {
    if (is == null) {
        return null;
    }
    // Define a size if you have an idea of it.
    ByteArrayOutputStream r = new ByteArrayOutputStream(2048);
    byte[] read = new byte[512]; // Your buffer size.
    for (int i; -1 != (i = is.read(read)); r.write(read, 0, i));
    is.close();
    return r.toByteArray();
}
