How can I simply write big-endian typed data into an OutputStream and still use buffering? (I’m developing for android if it makes any difference)
I tried
out = new BufferedWriter(new DataOutputStream(new OutputStreamWriter(sock.getOutputStream())));
but it looks like I’m in no luck, because this cannot be done. I’m new to Java.
Writers are used to write characters (text). Streams are used to write bytes (binary).
You can wrap a Stream with a Writer, but not the reverse.
If you want binary data and buffering, use a BufferedOutputStream.
