I have a byte array sent via UDP from x-plane. The bytes (4) are all floats or integers… I tried to cast them to floats but no luck so far…

Example array: byte d

Answer 1

Use a DataInputStream as follows:

    DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(data));
    float f = dis.readFloat();

    //or if it's an int:        
    int i = dis.readInt();
