How to read .wav file as byte array in android studio?

I am using Java in android studio to write my application. I have a file path to an audio file (in .wav format), What would be the best method to read the .wav file into a byte array? I am using the following conversion method:

public void open_audio_file(Uri filePath){
        try{
            in = new BufferedInputStream(getContext().getContentResolver().openInputStream(filePath));

            int read;
            byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
            while ((read = in.read(buff)) > 0)
            {
                out.write(buff, 0, read);
            }
            out.flush();
        }catch(Exception e){
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
        //Todo : Change the audio file to a float pointer
        audioBytes = out.toByteArray();
        Log.i(LOG_TAG,"The audio file is " + audioBytes.toString());
    }

However, this method produces a lot of jargon values that are not read by my function. For example, the output of dog.wav www.beaniebestbuy.com/sounds/dog5.wav was [B@d25663f . There are jargon values attached to the beginning of the array.

Update 1 : I tried to use the AudioSystem library, but it is not supported in Android studio.

You're reading the file correctly. Since you're just reading bytes, the file type is actually irrelevant.

When you call toString on an array, it doesn't give you a representation of the entire array, it just gives you the object reference. See documentation here.

If you want to see the full array, you'll need to use a for loop.

for(int i = 0; i < audioBytes.length; i++) {
    System.out.print(audioBytes[i] +" ");
}

Alternatively, you can use Arrays.toString()

Do note that this will probably be a very large output, not likely to be easily readable.
