Question

I am trying to download XML document from Server. From my log I see that I am getting complete document; however, when I convert the document into String, I only have 4096 bytes.

private String getString(InputStream inputStream) {
    byte[] arrayOfByte = new byte[2048];
    StringBuffer sB = new StringBuffer();
    try {
        while (true)
        {
            int i = inputStream.read(arrayOfByte);
            if (i == -1) {
               return sB.toString();
            }
            sB.append(new String(arrayOfByte, 0, i));
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {

    }
    return null;
}

Can anybody give any explanation on what i am doing wrong ?

Answer 1

Personally, I always use Apache Commons IO for this kind of stuff:

String stuff = IOUtils.toString(inputStream, "UTF-8");

However, your code looks okay, so the error is probably somewhere else.
