ByteBuffer duplicate() method in Java with Examples
Last Updated :

The duplicate() method of java.nio.ByteBuffer class is used to create a new byte buffer that shares this buffer’s content. The content of the new buffer will be that of this buffer. Changes to this buffer’s content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers’ position, limit, and mark values will be independent. The new buffer’s capacity, limit, position, and mark values will be identical to those of this buffer. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only. Syntax :
public abstract ByteBuffer duplicate()
Return Value: This method returns the new byte buffer which is carrying the previous byte buffer content. Below are the examples to illustrate the duplicate() method: Examples 1: Using direct ByteBuffer
Java
import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int capacity = 4 ;
try {
ByteBuffer bb1 = ByteBuffer.allocate(capacity);
bb1.put(( byte ) 20 );
bb1.put(( byte ) 30 );
bb1.put(( byte ) 40 );
bb1.put(( byte ) 50 );
bb1.rewind();
System.out.println("Original ByteBuffer: "
+ Arrays.toString(bb1.array()));
ByteBuffer bb2 = bb1.duplicate();
System.out.print("\nDuplicate ByteBuffer: "
+ Arrays.toString(bb2.array()));
}
catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
catch (ReadOnlyBufferException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
}
|
Output:
Original ByteBuffer: [20, 30, 40, 50]
Duplicate ByteBuffer: [20, 30, 40, 50]
Examples 2: Using read-only ByteBuffer
Java
import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int capacity = 4 ;
try {
ByteBuffer bb1 = ByteBuffer.allocate(capacity);
bb1.put(( byte ) 20 );
bb1.put(( byte ) 30 );
bb1.put(( byte ) 40 );
bb1.put(( byte ) 50 );
bb1.rewind();
System.out.println("Original ByteBuffer: "
+ Arrays.toString(bb1.array()));
ByteBuffer readonly = bb1.asReadOnlyBuffer();
System.out.print("\nRead-only ByteBuffer: ");
while (readonly.hasRemaining())
System.out.print(readonly.get() + ", ");
System.out.println("");
readonly.rewind();
ByteBuffer bb2 = readonly.duplicate();
System.out.print("\nDuplicate copy of read-only ByteBuffer: ");
while (bb2.hasRemaining())
System.out.print(bb2.get() + ", ");
System.out.println("");
}
catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
catch (ReadOnlyBufferException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
}

Output:
Original ByteBuffer: [20, 30, 40, 50]
Read-only ByteBuffer: 20, 30, 40, 50,
Duplicate copy of read-only ByteBuffer: 20, 30, 40, 50,
