Question

I am having problems of conversion through string->byte->byte[]

What I have done so far:

     double db = 1.00;
     double ab = db*100;
     int k = (int) ab;

     String aa = String.format("%06d", k);

     String first = aa.substring(0,2);``
     String second = aa.substring(2,4);
     String third = aa.substring(4,6);

     String ff = "0x"+first;
     String nn = "0x"+second;
     String yy = "0x"+third;

I want to write those bytes to an byte[]. What I mean is:

byte[] bytes = new byte[]{(byte) 0x02, (byte) 0x68, (byte) 0x14,
    (byte) 0x93, (byte) 0x01, ff,nn,yy};

in this order and casted with 0x’s. Any help is greatly appriciated.

Answer 1

You can use Byte.decode()

Decodes a String into a Byte. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers given by the following grammar:

DecodableString:
    Signopt DecimalNumeral 
    Signopt 0x HexDigits 
    Signopt 0X HexDigits 
    Signopt # HexDigits 
    Signopt 0 OctalDigits

Below code will print 10, 11 which is value of 0XA, 0XB

    byte[] temp = new byte[2];
    temp[0] = Byte.decode("0xA");
    temp[1] = Byte.decode("0xB");
    System.out.println(temp[0]);
    System.out.println(temp[1]);
