Android Question Is there a way to define an array Y pointing to a subarray of X

[Rodrigo Muñoz]

Say I have array X(0 to 999999), filled with data.

I want to define a new array Y(0 to 1023), with 1024 consecutive elements from array X(), starting from any index of X.

I do not want to copy with ArrayCopy. I want array Y to point to the data in X.

My final objective is to split X into pieces that I can send with AudioStreamer.Write(Y), but I don't want to waste time duplicating X.

Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

PS: Splitting array X upon read is not an option, because I need array X() as an entire block to perform a process.

You should use ByteConverter.ArrayCopy. It will most probably be fast enough. AudioStreamer doesn't copy the data when you call the Write method. So it is better if you copy it to prevent the data from being modified while AudioStreamer writes it.
