## Class ProgressMonitorInputStream

- java.lang.Object
- - java.io.InputStream
  - - java.io.FilterInputStream
    - - javax.swing.ProgressMonitorInputStream

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable

      public class ProgressMonitorInputStream
      extends FilterInputStream

  Monitors the progress of reading from some InputStream. This ProgressMonitor is normally invoked in roughly this form:

       InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(
                                new ProgressMonitorInputStream(
                                        parentComponent,
                                        "Reading " + fileName,
                                        new FileInputStream(fileName)));

  This creates a progress monitor to monitor the progress of reading the input stream. If it's taking a while, a ProgressDialog will be popped up to inform the user. If the user hits the Cancel button an InterruptedIOException will be thrown on the next read. All the right cleanup is done when the stream is closed.

  For further documentation and examples see How to Monitor Progress, a section in The Java Tutorial.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### ProgressMonitorInputStream

          public ProgressMonitorInputStream(Component parentComponent,
                                            Object message,
                                            InputStream in)

      Constructs an object to monitor the progress of an input stream.
      Parameters:
        `message` - Descriptive text to be placed in the dialog box if one is popped up.
        `parentComponent` - The component triggering the operation being monitored.
        `in` - The input stream to be monitored.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getProgressMonitor

          public ProgressMonitor getProgressMonitor()

      Get the ProgressMonitor object being used by this stream. Normally this isn't needed unless you want to do something like change the descriptive text partway through reading the file.
      Returns:
        the ProgressMonitor object used by this object

    - #### read

          public int read()
                   throws IOException

      Overrides `FilterInputStream.read` to update the progress monitor after the read.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Returns:
        the next byte of data, or `-1` if the end of the stream is reached.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.
      See Also:
        `FilterInputStream.in`

    - #### read

          public int read(byte[] b)
                   throws IOException

      Overrides `FilterInputStream.read` to update the progress monitor after the read.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Parameters:
        `b` - the buffer into which the data is read.
      Returns:
        the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or `-1` if there is no more data because the end of the stream has been reached.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.
      See Also:
        `FilterInputStream.read(byte[], int, int)`

    - #### read

          public int read(byte[] b,
                          int off,
                          int len)
                   throws IOException

      Overrides `FilterInputStream.read` to update the progress monitor after the read.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Parameters:
        `b` - the buffer into which the data is read.
        `off` - the start offset in the destination array `b`
        `len` - the maximum number of bytes read.
      Returns:
        the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or `-1` if there is no more data because the end of the stream has been reached.

        `FilterInputStream.in`
