Methods Detail

• public boolean asBoolean()

  Coerces a byte array to a boolean value. A byte array is false if the array is of length 0, and true otherwise.

  Returns:

  the array's boolean value

  Since:

  1.7.4

• public boolean contains(Object value)

  Checks whether the array contains the given value.

  Parameters:

  value - the value being searched for

  Returns:

  true if the array contains the value

  Since:

  1.8.6

• public Number count(Object value)

  Counts the number of occurrences of the given value inside this array. Comparison is done using Groovy's == operator (using compareTo(value) == 0 or equals(value) ).

  Parameters:

  value - the value being searched for

  Returns:

  the number of occurrences

  Since:

  1.6.4

• public void eachByte(Closure closure)

  Traverse through each byte of this byte array. Alias for each.

  Parameters:

  closure - a closure

  Since:

  1.5.5

  Object#each(groovy.lang.Closure)

• public Writable encodeBase64()

  Produce a Writable object which writes the Base64 encoding of the byte array. Calling toString() on the result returns the encoding as a String. For more information on Base64 encoding and chunking see RFC 4648.

  Returns:

  object which will write the Base64 encoding of the byte array

  Since:

  1.0

• public Writable encodeBase64(boolean chunked)

  Produce a Writable object which writes the Base64 encoding of the byte array. Calling toString() on the result returns the encoding as a String. For more information on Base64 encoding and chunking see RFC 4648.

  Parameters:

  chunked - whether or not the Base64 encoded data should be MIME chunked

  Returns:

  object which will write the Base64 encoding of the byte array

  Since:

  1.5.7

• public Writable encodeHex()

  Produces a Writable that writes the hex encoding of the byte[]. Calling toString() on this Writable returns the hex encoding as a String. The hex encoding includes two characters for each byte and all letters are lower case.

  Returns:

  object which will write the hex encoding of the byte array

  See Also:

  Integer#toHexString(int)

• public Collection flatten()

  Flatten an array. This array and any nested arrays or collections have their contents (recursively) added to the new collection.

  Returns:

  a flattened Collection

  Since:

  1.6.0

• public List getAt(IntRange range)

  Support the subscript operator with an IntRange for a byte array

  Parameters:

  range - an IntRange indicating the indices for the items to retrieve

  Returns:

  list of the retrieved bytes

  Since:

  1.0

• public List getAt(ObjectRange range)

  Support the subscript operator with an ObjectRange for a byte array

  Parameters:

  range - an ObjectRange indicating the indices for the items to retrieve

  Returns:

  list of the retrieved bytes

  Since:

  1.0

• public List getAt(Range range)

  Support the subscript operator with a range for a byte array

  Parameters:

  range - a range indicating the indices for the items to retrieve

  Returns:

  list of the retrieved bytes

  Since:

  1.0

• public List getAt(Collection indices)

  Support the subscript operator with a collection for a byte array

  Parameters:

  indices - a collection of indices for the items to retrieve

  Returns:

  list of the bytes at the given indices

  Since:

  1.0

• public int size()

  Allows arrays to behave similar to collections.

  Returns:

  the length of the array

  Since:

  1.0

  Array#getLength(java.lang.Object)

• public List toList()

  Converts this array to a List of the same size, with each element added to the list.

  Returns:

  a list containing the contents of this array.

  Since:

  1.0

• public Set toSet()

  Converts this array to a Set, with each unique element added to the set.

  Returns:

  a set containing the unique contents of this array.

  Since:

  1.8.0

• public String toString()

  Returns the string representation of the given array.

  Returns:

  the string representation

  Since:

  1.6.0
