title: method readLine() from the type DataInputStream is deprecated
body: <p>I have this Java code for Chat-Client
  in which the DataInputStream is,is defined like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>private static DataInputStream is=null;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I keep getting error on this part:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void run() {
  /*
   * Keep on reading from the socket of the server    
   */
   String responseLine; //used to implement reading from the socket
   try{
       while((responseLine=is.readLine())!=null){ //when we recieve messages we print out here
           System.out.println(responseLine); // "is" is the object of data input stream
       }
       closed=true;
   }catch(IOException e){
       System.out.println("IOException: "+e);
   }
  
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>everytime I try to fix it using the information on the javadoc :</p>
  
  <pre><code>Deprecated. This method does not properly convert bytes to characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to read lines of text is via the BufferedReader.readLine() method. Programs that use the DataInputStream class to read lines can be converted to use the BufferedReader class by replacing code of the form:
  
  DataInputStream d = new DataInputStream(in);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>BufferedReader d = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get another error in the code on this line:</p>
  
  <pre><code> is=new DataInputStream(clientSocket.getInputStream());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I fix this?I would appreciate any help I can get on this matter</p>
