Known Indirect Subclasses

AssetFileDescriptor.AutoCloseOutputStream, Base64OutputStream, BufferedOutputStream, BufferedWriter, ByteArrayOutputStream, CharArrayWriter, CheckedOutputStream, CipherOutputStream, Console, DataOutputStream, DeflaterOutputStream, DigestOutputStream, FileOutputStream, and 16 others.

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.
Base64OutputStream	An OutputStream that does Base64 encoding on the data written to it, writing the resulting data to another OutputStream.
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.
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.
Console	Provides access to the console, if available.
DataOutputStream	Wraps an existing `OutputStream` and writes big-endian 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	An output stream that writes bytes to a file.
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	Formats arguments according to a format string (like `printf` in C).
GZIPOutputStream	The `GZIPOutputStream` class is used to write data to a stream in the GZIP storage format.
InflaterOutputStream	An `OutputStream` filter to decompress data.
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	A writable sink for bytes.
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 `ParcelFileDescriptor.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	Used to write (compress) data into zip files.

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 ()

Added in API level 1

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

Throws

IOException	if there are any issues writing the data.
