JDK 7以来的一行代码:

byte[] array = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("/path/to/file"));

不需要外部依赖。

如果你的目标版本少于26个API，试试这个

 private static byte[] readFileToBytes(String filePath) {

    File file = new File(filePath);
    byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) file.length()];

    // funny, if can use Java 7, please uses Files.readAllBytes(path)
    try(FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file)){
        fis.read(bytes);
        return bytes;
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;

}

在JDK8

Stream<String> lines = Files.lines(path);
String data = lines.collect(Collectors.joining("\n"));
lines.close();

import java.io.RandomAccessFile;
RandomAccessFile f = new RandomAccessFile(fileName, "r");
byte[] b = new byte[(int)f.length()];
f.readFully(b);

正如有人所说，Apache Commons File Utils可能有您正在寻找的东西

public static byte[] readFileToByteArray(File file) throws IOException

示例使用(Program.java):

import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
public class Program {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        File file = new File(args[0]);  // assume args[0] is the path to file
        byte[] data = FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(file);
        ...
    }
}

// Returns the contents of the file in a byte array.
    public static byte[] getBytesFromFile(File file) throws IOException {        
        // Get the size of the file
        long length = file.length();

        // You cannot create an array using a long type.
        // It needs to be an int type.
        // Before converting to an int type, check
        // to ensure that file is not larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
        if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
            // File is too large
            throw new IOException("File is too large!");
        }

        // Create the byte array to hold the data
        byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length];

        // Read in the bytes
        int offset = 0;
        int numRead = 0;

        InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
        try {
            while (offset < bytes.length
                   && (numRead=is.read(bytes, offset, bytes.length-offset)) >= 0) {
                offset += numRead;
            }
        } finally {
            is.close();
        }

        // Ensure all the bytes have been read in
        if (offset < bytes.length) {
            throw new IOException("Could not completely read file "+file.getName());
        }
        return bytes;
    }
