java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: bad base-64

Question

I am trying to encode and decode a String using android.util.Base64, but it gives a bad base-64 error.

The code with the problem is:

private byte[] base

It hit me, if in any case your are splitting the data & the encoding it, then decode it first before putting it back together.. Stupidly I was doing decode after collation of data that left me "bad-base-64" as each block of encode data had file enders(==).

This is Linkis handy anyways to validate the encoding and decoding.
