How do I split an integer into 2 byte binary?

Question

Given

private int width = 400;
private byte [] data = new byte [2];  

I want to split the integer \"width\" into two bytes and load data[0]

Answer 1

This should do what you want for a 4 byte int. Note, it stores the low byte at offset 0. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to order them as needed.

public static byte[] intToBytes(int x) {
    byte[] bytes = new byte[4];

    for (int i = 0; x != 0; i++, x >>>= 8) {
        bytes[i] = (byte) (x & 0xFF);
    }

    return bytes;
}
