使用与社区wiki答案相同的方法，但更干净，并编译开箱即用(如果你不想导入Apache Commons库，例如在Android上，首选的方法):

public static byte[] getFileBytes(File file) throws IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream ous = null;
    InputStream ios = null;
    try {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
        ous = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        ios = new FileInputStream(file);
        int read = 0;
        while ((read = ios.read(buffer)) != -1)
            ous.write(buffer, 0, read);
    } finally {
        try {
            if (ous != null)
                ous.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // swallow, since not that important
        }
        try {
            if (ios != null)
                ios.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // swallow, since not that important
        }
    }
    return ous.toByteArray();
}

Guava有Files.toByteArray()可以提供给您。它有几个优点:

它涵盖了文件报告长度为0但仍然有内容的极端情况 它是高度优化的，如果在加载文件之前试图读入一个大文件，你会得到一个OutOfMemoryException。(通过巧妙地使用file.length()) 你没必要白费力气。

从文件中读取字节的另一种方法

Reader reader = null;
    try {
        reader = new FileReader(file);
        char buf[] = new char[8192];
        int len;
        StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
        while ((len = reader.read(buf)) >= 0) {
            s.append(buf, 0, len);
            byte[] byteArray = s.toString().getBytes();
        }
    } catch(FileNotFoundException ex) {
    } catch(IOException e) {
    }
    finally {
        if (reader != null) {
            reader.close();
        }
    }

ReadFully从当前文件指针开始，将b.length字节从这个文件读入字节数组。该方法从文件中重复读取，直到读取所请求的字节数。该方法将阻塞，直到读取请求的字节数、检测到流的末尾或抛出异常。

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

在JDK8

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

简单的方法:

File fff = new File("/path/to/file");
FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(fff);

// int byteLength = fff.length(); 

// In android the result of file.length() is long
long byteLength = fff.length(); // byte count of the file-content

byte[] filecontent = new byte[(int) byteLength];
fileInputStream.read(filecontent, 0, (int) byteLength);
