trying to read a file but doesnt know how to get the size of the inputstrem

hi im trying to read a file in a cel this is my code:

fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file://localhost/" + actualdir);

InputStream fis = fconn.openInputStream();

byte b[] =newbyte[1024];

fis.read(b);

fis.close();

fconn.close();

textBox1 =new TextBox("Viendo el Archivo: " + list1.getString(list1.getSelectedIndex()), null, 1024,TextField.ANY | TextField.UNEDITABLE);

textBox1.setString(new String(b, 0, b.length));

i dont want to create always an array of bytes of size 1024 instead i wanna know how many bytes does inputstream object has, how can i know that?

You can't know the size of the stream.Just use a stringbuffer to read to file in and convert it to string when the reading is done.

you can either retrieve the whole file at once by determine the file size like:

fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file://localhost/" + actualdir);

InputStream fis = fconn.openInputStream();

byte b[] = new byte[fconn.fileSize()];

fis.read(b);

fis.close();

fconn.close();

or read every single byte

fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file://localhost/" + actualdir);

InputStream fis = fconn.openInputStream();

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

int i = fis.read();

while(i != -1){

baos.write(i);

fis.read();

}

String content = new String(baos.toByteArray());
