ShortBuffer isDirect() Method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 17 Jun, 2019
The isDirect() method of java.nio.ShortBuffer is used to check whether or not this short buffer is direct. Syntax: 
public abstract boolean isDirect()
Return Value: The method returns true if and only if, this buffer is direct Below programs illustrate the use of isDirect() method: Program 1: Java 
// Java program to demonstrate
// isDirect() method

import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        short[] array = { 10000, 10640, 10189, -2000, -16780 };

        // creating short array
        ShortBuffer shortBuf1 = ShortBuffer.wrap(array);

        // checking if the array is Direct or not
        if (shortBuf1.isDirect()) {
            System.out.println("Short buffer is direct.");
        }
        else {
            System.out.println("Short buffer is not direct.");
        }
    }
}
Output: 
Short buffer is not direct.
Program 2: Java 
// Java program to demonstrate
// isDirect() method

import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        ByteBuffer b = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(512);

        ShortBuffer shortBuf = b.asShortBuffer();

        // checking if the array is Direct or not
        if (shortBuf.isDirect()) {
            System.out.println("Short buffer is direct.");
        }
        else {
            System.out.println("Short buffer is not direct.");
        }
    }
}
Output: 
Short buffer is direct.
