Equivalent of DataOutputStream.readBoolean and DataOutputStream.writeBoolean for ByteBuffer?

Question

How can I do something like ByteBuffer.putBoolean and ByteBuffer.getBoolean?

As with DataInputStream there is readBoolean and with DataOutputStream there is writeBoolean; I don't find the ability to write/read booleans with ByteBuffer. Is there a way to achieve the same behavior?

Answer 1

See the Javadoc. writeBoolean() writes one byte which is 1 or 0 according as the argument is true or false. So do that.

Answer 2

You could do something like

    boolean b = buf.get() == 1;
    buf.put((byte) (b ? 1 : 0));
