How to know thw size of the object to transfer?

Hi, I want to know how to know thw size of the object that is going to be transfered by a network. I am doing a game and I need to know how many bytes are being trasmited on each transfer. Is there anyway to get it, or any other quantity os size.?

can we use the available method of the inputStream that we are using?

For example:

BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream());

byte[] buffer=new byte(br.available());

Any other way? becausse I need to do it before sending the data. I guess I may adapt this solution but it will need a lot of changes on my code.

BufferedReader doesn't have an available() method for a start.

The InputStream.available() method is not a solution for this problem, or for any other problem I am aware of either.

The OP needs to write his data to a ByteArrayOutputStream and then find out its size, write the size, then get the bytes from the BAOS and write those.
