Detailed Description

Provides functionality to decode a PDB formatted file into a.

PalmDB 

object given an

InputStream 

.

This class is only used by the

PalmDB 

object.

Sample usage:

 PdbDecoder decoder = new PdbDecoder("sample.pdb");
PalmDB palmDB = decoder.parse(); 
 

This decoder has the following assumptions on the PDB file:

1. There is only one RecordList section in the PDB.
2. The

   Record 

   indices in the RecordList are sorted in order, i.e. the first

   Record 

   index refers to

   Record 

   0, and so forth.
3. The raw

   Record 

   in the

   Record 

   section are sorted as well in order, i.e. first

   Record 

   comes ahead of second

   Record 

   , etc.

Other decoders assume these as well.

PalmDB org.openoffice.xmerge.converter.palm.PdbDecoder.parse ( byte[]  b ) throws IOException

inline

This method decodes a PDB file into a.

PalmDB 

object.

First, the header data is read using the

PdbHeader.read 

method. Next, the RecordList section is read and the

Record 

offsets are stored for use when parsing the Records. Based on these offsets, the bytes corresponding to each

Record 

are read and each is stored in a

Record 

object. Lastly, the data is used to create a

PalmDB 

object.
