Java code To convert byte to Hexadecimal

Question

I have an array of bytes. I want each byte String of that array to be converted to its corresponding hexadecimal values.

Is there any function in Java to convert a b

Answer 1

Others have covered the general case. But if you have a byte array of a known form, for example a MAC address, then you can:

byte[] mac = { (byte)0x00, (byte)0x00, (byte)0x00, (byte)0x00, (byte)0x00 };

String str = String.format("%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",
                           mac[0], mac[1], mac[2], mac[3], mac[4], mac[5]);
