available()
Returns an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read (or
skipped over) from this input stream without blocking by the next
invocation of a method for this input stream.

Note that while some implementations of InputStream
will return
the total number of bytes in the stream, many will not. It is
never correct to use the return value of this method to allocate
a buffer intended to hold all data in this stream.
A subclass' implementation of this method may choose to throw an
IOException
if this input stream has been closed by
invoking the InputStream.close()
method.
The default implementation of this method in NonBlockingInputStream
throws an UnsupportedOperationException
. This method must be overridden
by subclasses. The overriding implementations must guarantee non-blocking behavior
of the method. The overriding implementation must also guarantee that a non-empty
stream does not return zero from the method. IOW, it must be possible to use the
method for empty check: stream.available() == 0

it reaches the end of the input stream or the stream is empty.IOException

The main difference is that this method is non-blocking. In case there are no
data available to be read, the method returns NOTHING
immediately.-1
