Known Indirect Subclasses

AssetFileDescriptor.AutoCloseOutputStream, BufferedOutputStream, BufferedWriter, ByteArrayOutputStream, CharArrayWriter, CheckedOutputStream, ChunkedOutputStream, CipherOutputStream, ContentLengthOutputStream, DataOutputStream, DeflaterOutputStream, DigestOutputStream, FileOutputStream, FileWriter, FilterOutputStream, FilterWriter, Formatter, GZIPOutputStream, IdentityOutputStream, JarOutputStream, ObjectOutputStream, OutputStream, OutputStreamWriter, ParcelFileDescriptor.AutoCloseOutputStream, PipedOutputStream, PipedWriter, PrintStream, PrintWriter, StringWriter, Writer, ZipOutputStream

AssetFileDescriptor.AutoCloseOutputStream	An OutputStream you can create on a ParcelFileDescriptor, which will take care of calling ParcelFileDescritor.close() for you when the stream is closed.
BufferedOutputStream	Wraps an existing OutputStream and buffers the output.
BufferedWriter	Wraps an existing Writer and buffers the output.
ByteArrayOutputStream	A specialized OutputStream for class for writing content to an (internal) byte array.
CharArrayWriter	A specialized Writer for class for writing content to an (internal) char array.
CheckedOutputStream	The `CheckedOutputStream` class is used to maintain a running checksum of all data written to a stream.
ChunkedOutputStream	Implements chunked transfer coding.
CipherOutputStream	This class wraps an output stream and a cipher so that `write` methods send the data through the cipher before writing them to the underlying output stream.
ContentLengthOutputStream	A stream wrapper that closes itself after a defined number of bytes.
DataOutputStream	Wraps an existing OutputStream and writes typed data to it.
DeflaterOutputStream	This class provides an implementation of `FilterOutputStream` that compresses data using the DEFLATE algorithm.
DigestOutputStream	`DigestOutputStream` is a `FilterOutputStream` which maintains an associated message digest.
FileOutputStream	A specialized OutputStream that writes to a file in the file system.
FileWriter	A specialized Writer that writes to a file in the file system.
FilterOutputStream	Wraps an existing OutputStream and performs some transformation on the output data while it is being written.
FilterWriter	Wraps an existing Writer and performs some transformation on the output data while it is being written.
Formatter	The `Formatter` class is a String-formatting utility that is designed to work like the `printf` function of the C programming language.
GZIPOutputStream	The `GZIPOutputStream` class is used to write data to a stream in the GZIP storage format.
IdentityOutputStream	A stream for writing with an "identity" transport encoding.
JarOutputStream	The `JarOutputStream` is used to write data in the `JarFile` format to an arbitrary output stream
ObjectOutputStream	A specialized OutputStream that is able to write (serialize) Java objects as well as primitive data types (int, byte, char etc.).
OutputStream	The base class for all output streams.
OutputStreamWriter	A class for turning a character stream into a byte stream.
ParcelFileDescriptor.AutoCloseOutputStream	An OutputStream you can create on a ParcelFileDescriptor, which will take care of calling ParcelFileDescritor.close() for you when the stream is closed.
PipedOutputStream	Places information on a communications pipe.
PipedWriter	Places information on a communications pipe.
PrintStream	Wraps an existing OutputStream and provides convenience methods for writing common data types in a human readable format.
PrintWriter	Wraps either an existing OutputStream or an existing Writer and provides convenience methods for printing common data types in a human readable format.
StringWriter	A specialized Writer that writes characters to a `StringBuffer` in a sequential manner, appending them in the process.
Writer	The base class for all writers.
ZipOutputStream	This class provides an implementation of `FilterOutputStream` that compresses data entries into a ZIP-archive output stream.

Class Overview

Defines an interface for classes that can (or need to) be flushed, typically before some output processing is considered to be finished and the object gets closed.

Summary

Public Methods
abstract void	flush() Flushes the object by writing out any buffered data to the underlying output.

Public Methods

public abstract void flush ()

Flushes the object by writing out any buffered data to the underlying output.

Throws

IOException	if there are any issues writing the data.
