ByteOrder

class ByteOrder
kotlin.Any
   ↳ java.nio.ByteOrder

A typesafe enumeration for byte orders.

Summary

Public methods
static ByteOrder!

Retrieves the native byte order of the underlying platform.

String

Constructs a string describing this object.

Properties
static ByteOrder!

Constant denoting big-endian byte order.

static ByteOrder!

Constant denoting little-endian byte order.

Public methods

nativeOrder

Added in API level 1
static fun nativeOrder(): ByteOrder!

Retrieves the native byte order of the underlying platform.

This method is defined so that performance-sensitive Java code can allocate direct buffers with the same byte order as the hardware. Native code libraries are often more efficient when such buffers are used.

Return
ByteOrder! The native byte order of the hardware upon which this Java virtual machine is running

toString

Added in API level 1
fun toString(): String

Constructs a string describing this object.

This method returns the string "BIG_ENDIAN" for BIG_ENDIAN and "LITTLE_ENDIAN" for LITTLE_ENDIAN.

Return
String The specified string

Properties

BIG_ENDIAN

Added in API level 1
static val BIG_ENDIAN: ByteOrder!

Constant denoting big-endian byte order. In this order, the bytes of a multibyte value are ordered from most significant to least significant.

LITTLE_ENDIAN

Added in API level 1
static val LITTLE_ENDIAN: ByteOrder!

Constant denoting little-endian byte order. In this order, the bytes of a multibyte value are ordered from least significant to most significant.
