How do I convert a byte array with null terminating character to a String in Java?

Question

How can I create a String object from a byte array

byte arr[MAX_SIZE];  // Java

where one of the array elements is a C null terminating byt

Answer 1

It won't magically stop at the null terminator. The null character doesn't terminate strings in Java. You will have to find the index of the first null character and stop there. Use the String(byte[] arr, int offset, length) constructor after that.
