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

FYI...

In certain situations this did not work for me

md5 = new java.math.BigInteger(1, digest.digest()).toString(16);

but this did

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

for (int i = 0; i < digest.length; i++) {
    if ((0xff & digest[i]) < 0x10) {
        sb.append("0").append(Integer.toHexString((0xFF & digest[i])));
    } else {
        sb.append(Integer.toHexString(0xFF & digest[i]));
    }
}

String result = sb.toString();
