Question

Answer 1

First do convertion of your byte array to proper string, by doing

String line= new String(Arrays.toString(your_array))

Then send it and use function below

public static byte[] StringToByteArray(String line)
{

    String some=line.substring(1, line.length()-1);     
    int element_counter=1;

    for(int i=0; i
