Base64 encoder and decoder

Question

Is there a base-64 decoder and encoder for a String in Android?

Answer 1

To encode:

private String encodeString(String s) {
    byte[] data = new byte[0];

    try {
        data = s.getBytes("UTF-8");

    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        String base64Encoded = Base64.encodeToString(data, Base64.DEFAULT);

        return base64Encoded;

    }
}

To decode:

private String decodeString(String encoded) {
    byte[] dataDec = Base64.decode(encoded, Base64.DEFAULT);
    String decodedString = "";
    try {

        decodedString = new String(dataDec, "UTF-8");
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

    } finally {

        return decodedString;
    }
}

Example

    String text = "example007";

    Log.e("encoded", encodeString(text)); //Output: ZXhhbXBsZTAwNw==
    Log.e("decoded", decodeString(encodeString(text))); //Output: example007
