How to convert NSData to NSString? [duplicate]

Answer 1

NSString *convertedString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]

Answer 2

NSString provides an initializer for this purpose.

// NSData *data = [NSData data];
NSString *string = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];

Answer 3

You can do it this way

NSString *yourStr= [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data
                                         encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];

or the ohther way to use it when the data ends with a null is:-

NSString *yourStr= [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[theData bytes]];
