converting bytes to int in Java

Question

I need to convert 2 bytes (2\'s complement) into an int in Java code. how do I do it?

toInt(byte hb, byte lb)
{

}

Answer 1

Usage:

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        byte[] b = new byte[] { -83, 0, 0, 0 };

        int i = GattUtils.getIntValue(b, GattUtils.FORMAT_UINT32, 0);

        System.out.println(i); //will print 173
    }


public class GattUtils {
    public static final long leastSigBits = 0x800000805f9b34fbL;

    public static final int FIRST_BITMASK = 0x01;
    public static final int SECOND_BITMASK = FIRST_BITMASK << 1;
    public static final int THIRD_BITMASK = FIRST_BITMASK << 2;
    public static final int FOURTH_BITMASK = FIRST_BITMASK << 3;
    public static final int FIFTH_BITMASK = FIRST_BITMASK << 4;
    public static final int SIXTH_BITMASK = FIRST_BITMASK << 5;
    public static final int SEVENTH_BITMASK = FIRST_BITMASK << 6;
    public static final int EIGTH_BITMASK = FIRST_BITMASK << 7;

    public static final int FORMAT_UINT8 = 17;
    public static final int FORMAT_UINT16 = 18;
    public static final int FORMAT_UINT32 = 20;
    public static final int FORMAT_SINT8 = 33;
    public static final int FORMAT_SINT16 = 34;
    public static final int FORMAT_SINT32 = 36;
    public static final int FORMAT_SFLOAT = 50;
    public static final int FORMAT_FLOAT = 52;

    public static UUID toUuid(String uuidString) {
        return UUID.fromString(uuidString);
    }

    public static UUID toUuid(long assignedNumber) {
        return new UUID((assignedNumber << 32) | 0x1000, leastSigBits);
    }

    public static String toUuid128(long assignedNumber) {

Answer 2

For those of you who are looking for the Little Endian value:

int num = ByteBuffer.wrap(b, 0, 2).order(LITTLE_ENDIAN).char.toInt()

Answer 3

You can also use the ByteBuffer class:

public int toInt(byte hb, byte lb) {
    ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(new byte[] {hb, lb});
    return bb.getShort(); // Implicitly widened to an int per JVM spec.
}

This class might be helpful if you're decoding a lot of data.

Answer 4

return ((int)hb << 8) | ((int)lb & 0xFF);

Correct operation in all cases is left as an exercise for the student.

Answer 5

public int toInt(byte hb, byte lb)
{
    return ((int)hb)<<8 + lb;
}
