@Deprecated public class InputStreamContentProvider extends Object implements ContentProvider, Callback, Closeable
Deprecated.
A ContentProvider for an InputStream.

The input stream is read once and therefore fully consumed. Invocations to the iterator() method after the first will return an "empty" iterator because the stream has been consumed on the first invocation.

However, it is possible for subclasses to override onRead(byte[], int, int) to copy the content read from the stream to another location (for example a file), and be able to support multiple invocations of iterator(), returning the iterator provided by this class on the first invocation, and an iterator on the bytes copied to the other location for subsequent invocations.

It is possible to specify, at the constructor, a buffer size used to read content from the stream, by default 4096 bytes.

The InputStream passed to the constructor is by default closed when is it fully consumed (or when an exception is thrown while reading it), unless otherwise specified to the constructor.
