Java ByteBuffer to String

Question

Is this a correct approach to convert ByteBuffer to String in this way,

String k = \"abcd\";
ByteBuffer b = ByteBuffer.wrap(k.getBytes());
String v = new Str         


        

Answer 1

Notice (aside from the encoding issue) that some of the more complicated code linked goes to the trouble of getting the "active" portion of the ByteBuffer in question (for example by using position and limit), rather than simply encoding all of the bytes in the entire backing array (as many of the examples in these answers do).
