    Assuming you have it available as binary data from a non-Java source that you must read and work with the values in Java:
    Read it as a (signed) short, and then convert it to int as follows:

    int intVal = shortVal >= 0 ? shortVal : 0x10000 + shortVal 
    

    You cannot represent all values of an unsigned short in a short, but in an int, you can.
