BackupDataInput

public class BackupDataInput extends Object
Provides the structured interface through which a {@link BackupAgent} reads information from the backup data set, via its {@link BackupAgent#onRestore(BackupDataInput, int, android.os.ParcelFileDescriptor) onRestore()} method. The data is presented as a set of "entities," each representing one named record as previously stored by the agent's {@link BackupAgent#onBackup(ParcelFileDescriptor,BackupDataOutput,ParcelFileDescriptor) onBackup()} implementation. An entity is composed of a descriptive header plus a byte array that holds the raw data saved in the remote backup.

The agent must consume every entity in the data stream, otherwise the restored state of the application will be incomplete.

Example

A typical {@link BackupAgent#onRestore(BackupDataInput,int,ParcelFileDescriptor) onRestore()} implementation might be structured something like this:

public void onRestore(BackupDataInput data, int appVersionCode,
ParcelFileDescriptor newState) {
while (data.readNextHeader()) {
String key = data.getKey();
int dataSize = data.getDataSize();

if (key.equals(MY_BACKUP_KEY_ONE)) {
// process this kind of record here
byte[] buffer = new byte[dataSize];
data.readEntityData(buffer, 0, dataSize); // reads the entire entity at once

// now 'buffer' holds the raw data and can be processed however
// the agent wishes
processBackupKeyOne(buffer);
} else if (key.equals(MY_BACKUP_KEY_TO_IGNORE) {
// a key we recognize but wish to discard
data.skipEntityData();
} // ... etc.
}
}

public intgetDataSize()
Report the size in bytes of the data associated with the current entity in the restore stream.

return
The size of the record's raw data, in bytes
throws
IllegalStateException if the next record header has not yet been read

        if (mHeaderReady) {
            return mHeader.dataSize;
        } else {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Entity header not read");
        }
    
public java.lang.StringgetKey()
Report the key associated with the current entity in the restore stream

return
the current entity's key string
throws
IllegalStateException if the next record header has not yet been read

        if (mHeaderReady) {
            return mHeader.key;
        } else {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Entity header not read");
        }
    
public intreadEntityData(byte[] data, int offset, int size)
Read a record's raw data from the restore stream. The record's header must first have been processed by the {@link #readNextHeader()} method. Multiple calls to this method may be made in order to process the data in chunks; not all of it must be read in a single call. Once all of the raw data for the current entity has been read, further calls to this method will simply return zero.

param
data An allocated byte array of at least 'size' bytes
param
offset Offset within the 'data' array at which the data will be placed when read from the stream
param
size The number of bytes to read in this pass
return
The number of bytes of data read. Once all of the data for this entity has been read, further calls to this method will return zero.
throws
IOException if an error occurred when trying to read the restore data stream

        if (mHeaderReady) {
            int result = readEntityData_native(mBackupReader, data, offset, size);
            if (result >= 0) {
                return result;
            } else {
                throw new IOException("result=0x" + Integer.toHexString(result));
            }
        } else {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Entity header not read");
        }
    
private native intreadEntityData_native(long mBackupReader, byte[] data, int offset, int size)

public booleanreadNextHeader()
Extract the next entity header from the restore stream. After this method return success, the {@link #getKey()} and {@link #getDataSize()} methods can be used to inspect the entity that is now available for processing.

return
true when there is an entity ready for consumption from the restore stream, false if the restore stream has been fully consumed.
throws
IOException if an error occurred while reading the restore stream

        int result = readNextHeader_native(mBackupReader, mHeader);
        if (result == 0) {
            // read successfully
            mHeaderReady = true;
            return true;
        } else if (result > 0) {
            // done
            mHeaderReady = false;
            return false;
        } else {
            // error
            mHeaderReady = false;
            throw new IOException("failed: 0x" + Integer.toHexString(result));
        }
    
private native intreadNextHeader_native(long mBackupReader, android.app.backup.BackupDataInput$EntityHeader entity)

public voidskipEntityData()
Consume the current entity's data without extracting it into a buffer for further processing. This allows a {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgent} to efficiently discard obsolete or otherwise uninteresting records during the restore operation.

throws
IOException if an error occurred when trying to read the restore data stream

        if (mHeaderReady) {
            skipEntityData_native(mBackupReader);
        } else {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Entity header not read");
