How to get 0-padded binary representation of an integer in java?

Question

for example, for 1, 2, 128, 256 the output can be (16 digits):

0000000000000001
0000000000000010
0000000010000000
0000000100000000

Answer 1

try...

String.format("%016d\n", Integer.parseInt(Integer.toBinaryString(256)));

I dont think this is the "correct" way to doing this... but it works :)
