让我添加另一个不使用第三方库的解决方案。它重用了Scott提出的异常处理模式(链接)。我把丑陋的部分移动到一个单独的消息(我会隐藏在一些FileUtils类;))

public void someMethod() {
    final byte[] buffer = read(new File("test.txt"));
}

private byte[] read(final File file) {
    if (file.isDirectory())
        throw new RuntimeException("Unsupported operation, file "
                + file.getAbsolutePath() + " is a directory");
    if (file.length() > Integer.MAX_VALUE)
        throw new RuntimeException("Unsupported operation, file "
                + file.getAbsolutePath() + " is too big");

    Throwable pending = null;
    FileInputStream in = null;
    final byte buffer[] = new byte[(int) file.length()];
    try {
        in = new FileInputStream(file);
        in.read(buffer);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        pending = new RuntimeException("Exception occured on reading file "
                + file.getAbsolutePath(), e);
    } finally {
        if (in != null) {
            try {
                in.close();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                if (pending == null) {
                    pending = new RuntimeException(
                        "Exception occured on closing file" 
                             + file.getAbsolutePath(), e);
                }
            }
        }
        if (pending != null) {
            throw new RuntimeException(pending);
        }
    }
    return buffer;
}

从JDK 7开始，您可以使用Files.readAllBytes(Path)。

例子:

import java.io.File;
import java.nio.file.Files;

File file;
// ...(file is initialised)...
byte[] fileContent = Files.readAllBytes(file.toPath());

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);

我相信这是最简单的方法:

org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(file);

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

Java 8文档:http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/io/RandomAccessFile.html

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();
        }
    }
