Have a FileInputStream, I am wondering whether I need to close it or not? If yes, if I pass this stream object to the other method, can I close in that sub method?

Yes, you can close the stream in the method where you passed it.
But beware. If you use the same stream after the method call it will remain closed.
The best practice is to close the stream after you’ve done all you wanted with it.
