请参阅InputStream.available()文档:

It is particularly important to realize that you must not use this method to size a container and assume that you can read the entirety of the stream without needing to resize the container. Such callers should probably write everything they read to a ByteArrayOutputStream and convert that to a byte array. Alternatively, if you're reading from a file, File.length returns the current length of the file (though assuming the file's length can't change may be incorrect, reading a file is inherently racy).

20年后，终于有了一个不需要第三方库的简单解决方案，这要感谢Java 9:

InputStream is;
…
byte[] array = is.readAllBytes();

还要注意方便的方法readNBytes(byte[] b, int off, int len)和transferTo(OutputStream)来解决重复的需求。

使用普通Java的DataInputStream和它的readFully方法(至少从Java 1.4开始存在):

...
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) file.length()];
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
dis.readFully(bytes);
...

这个方法还有其他一些形式，但在这个用例中，我一直使用这个方法。

如果你碰巧使用谷歌Guava，它将像使用ByteStreams一样简单:

byte[] bytes = ByteStreams.toByteArray(inputStream);

如果有人还在寻找一个没有依赖的解决方案，如果你有一个文件。

DataInputStream

 byte[] data = new byte[(int) file.length()];
 DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
 dis.readFully(data);
 dis.close();

ByteArrayOutputStream

 InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
 ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 int nRead;
 byte[] data = new byte[(int) file.length()];
 while ((nRead = is.read(data, 0, data.length)) != -1) {
     buffer.write(data, 0, nRead);
 }

RandomAccessFile

 RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(file, "r");
 byte[] data = new byte[(int) raf.length()];
 raf.readFully(data);

如果你使用ByteArrayOutputStream，你会做一个额外的拷贝。如果你在开始读取流之前知道它的长度(例如，InputStream实际上是FileInputStream，你可以在文件上调用file.length()，或者InputStream是一个zipfile条目InputStream，你可以调用zipEntry.length())，那么直接写入byte[]数组会更好——它使用一半的内存，并节省时间。

// Read the file contents into a byte[] array
byte[] buf = new byte[inputStreamLength];
int bytesRead = Math.max(0, inputStream.read(buf));

// If needed: for safety, truncate the array if the file may somehow get
// truncated during the read operation
byte[] contents = bytesRead == inputStreamLength ? buf
                  : Arrays.copyOf(buf, bytesRead);

注意:上面的最后一行处理的是在读取流时被截断的文件，如果你需要处理这种可能性，但是如果在读取流时文件变长了，byte[]数组中的内容将不会被延长以包括新的文件内容，数组将简单地被截断为旧的长度inputStreamLength。
