The InputStream is passed in from another class and is guaranteed to
be open. I get the same error no matter what file I try to open. Am
I doing something wrong?


You are not guaranteed to read all 16 bytes, or any bytes for that
matter. Why would you open the stream in another class and read it in
this one? Why does getData() only return the first element? You could
possibly read more than one but never retrieve it.

This is really a mess and without the other pieces it is very difficult
to figure out what your problem is. The error message shows you the
line number of the error. What program line is that?

Why don't you either tell us what you are really trying to do or provide
an SSCCE.
