java.io.InputStreamReader

Synopsis

This class is a slightly modified version of the InputStreamReader class used in J2SE. The class creates a character input stream, which translates data coming from a byte input stream, based on a specific encoding. The read() method reads in a single character value or an array of characters. The skip() method skips over the specified number of characters. The ready() method returns a Boolean, indicating whether the stream is ready to be read.
