读取BufferedReader

Question

Is there a way I can create some type of listener that listens to see if there is new data in a BufferedReader? I know I can use something like a while loop and keep seeing if it can be read but even in a async task this seems to block.

Basically what I want to do is listen to a sockets input stream for new data.

Everything in java.io is blocking-mode. The usual technique is to have a dedicated reading thread.
