I suggest Arrays.toString(byte_array);

It depends on your purpose. For example, I wanted to save a byte array exactly like the format you can see at time of debug that is something like this : [1, 2, 3] If you want to save exactly same value without converting the bytes to character format, Arrays.toString (byte_array) does this,. But if you want to save characters instead of bytes, you should use String s = new String(byte_array). In this case, s is equal to equivalent of [1, 2, 3] in format of character.
