Answer 1

As @Sotirios Delimanolis wrote it can be done using apache commons but you can also use google guava libraries. For example:

BaseEncoding.base32().encode("test".getBytes());

will return ORSXG5A=.

Answer 2

Apache commons-codec provides a Base32 class that does just that

Base32 base32 = new Base32();
System.out.println(base32.encodeAsString("test".getBytes()));

prints

ORSXG5A=
