How to print the data in byte array as characters?

Viewed 255104

In my byte array I have the hash values of a message which consists of some negative values and also positive values. Positive values are being printed easily by using the (char)byte[i] statement.

Now how can I get the negative value?

Try it:

public static String print(byte[] bytes) {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    sb.append("[ ");
    for (byte b : bytes) {
        sb.append(String.format("0x%02X ", b));
    }
    sb.append("]");
    return sb.toString();
}

Example:

 public static void main(String []args){
    byte[] bytes = new byte[] { 
        (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0xFF, (byte) 0x2E, (byte) 0x6E, (byte) 0x30
    };

    System.out.println("bytes = " + print(bytes));
 }

Output: bytes = [ 0x01 0xFF 0x2E 0x6E 0x30 ]

in Kotlin you can use :

println(byteArray.contentToString())
