Convert byte to String - A Java Code Example

Were you looking to: convert byte[] array to String?

This example shows three ways of converting a variable of datatype byte to a String.
The first example uses the wrapper class Byte and it's static method toString to convert the byte.
The second example just concatenates the byte with an empty String, and the value is automatically casted to a String.
The final example creates a byte array which is passed to the constructor of the String class.

The output of the code below is:

65
65
A

/**
*
* @author javadb.com
*/
public class Main {

    /**
     * Example method for converting a byte to a String.
     */
    public void convertByteToString() {

        byte b = 65;

        //Using the static toString method of the Byte class
        System.out.println(Byte.toString(b));

        //Using simple concatenation with an empty String
        System.out.println(b + "");

        //Creating a byte array and passing it to the String constructor
        System.out.println(new String(new byte[] {b}));

    }

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Main().convertByteToString();
    }
}
