Answer 1

When you try to use + with an object in a string context the java compiler silently inserts a call to the toString() method.

In other words your statements look like

System.out.println("infobin: " + infoBin.toString())

which in this case is the one inherited from Object.

You will need to use a for-loop to pick out each byte from the byte array.
