Java converting int to hex and back again

Question

I have the following code...

int Val=-32768;
String Hex=Integer.toHexString(Val);

This equates to ffff8000

int         


        

Answer 1

As Integer.toHexString(byte/integer) is not working when you are trying to convert signed bytes like UTF-16 decoded characters you have to use:

Integer.toString(byte/integer, 16);

or

String.format("%02X", byte/integer);

reverse you can use

Integer.parseInt(hexString, 16);
