I am trying to write an Integer from C# and read it from Java.

I am trying to write an Integer from C# and read it from Java. An integer is 4 bytes in both languages. However when I write it from C#, integer 1 is written in the following bytes
1000. Meaning the first byte is 1 and the rest is 0.

But in Java the same thing is written as 0001. Meaing the first 3 bytes are 0 and the last is 1.

Is there a simple way of reading and writing among these languages instead of manually reversing every 4 byte?
The code for Java

ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(4);
buffer.putInt(1);

for(byte b: buffer.array()){
      System.out.print(b);
}

The code for C#

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
using(BinaryWriter writer = new BinaryWriter(ms))
{
    writer.Write((int)1);

}
foreach(byte b in ms.ToArray()){
    Console.Write(b);
}
