Get MD5 String from Message Digest

Question

I understand how it works but if I want to print out the MD5 as String how would I do that?

public static void getMD5(String fileName) throws Exception{
            


        

Answer 1

    String input = "168";
    MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
    byte[] md5sum = md.digest(input.getBytes());
    String output = String.format("%032X", new BigInteger(1, md5sum));

or

DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary( MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5").digest("a".getBytes("UTF-8")))
