Interface IRAMDictionary.IInputStreamFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

IRAMDictionary.FileInputStreamFactory, IRAMDictionary.URLInputStreamFactory

Enclosing interface:

IRAMDictionary

public static interface IRAMDictionary.IInputStreamFactory

An input stream factory is used by certain constructors of the RAMDictionary class to provide source data to load the dictionary into memory from a stream. Using this interface allows the dictionary to be closed and reopened again. Therefore the expectation is that the makeInputStream() method may be called multiple times without throwing an exception.
