Question

Is there some Java equivalent of Convert.FromBase64String which

Converts the specified string, which encodes binary data as base-64 digits, to an equivalent 8-bit unsigned integer array.

I have tried:

• com.lutris.util.Convert. but it gives me signed values
• encode to string then convert to unsigned bytes, but then it gives me completely wrong output (wrong length and data).

Will be grateful for any suggestions!

In general, chances are good that if the standard Java libraries don’t have something you need, the Apache Commons framework does. In this case, you want the decodeBase64 method from commons.codec.binary.Base64.
