Java integer to byte array

I got an integer: 1695609641

when I use method:

String hex = Integer.toHexString(1695609641);
system.out.println(hex); 

gives:

6510f329

but I want a byte array:

byte[] bytearray = new byte[] { (byte) 0x65, (byte)0x10, (byte)0x开发者_StackOverflow中文版f3, (byte)0x29};

How can I make this?

---

using Java NIO's ByteBuffer is very simple:

byte[] bytes = ByteBuffer.allocate(4).putInt(1695609641).array();

for (byte b : bytes) {
   System.out.format("0x%x ", b);
}

output:

0x65 0x10 0xf3 0x29

How about:

public static final byte[] intToByteArray(int value) {
    return new byte[] {
            (byte)(value >>> 24),
            (byte)(value >>> 16),
            (byte)(value >>> 8),
            (byte)value};
}

The idea is not mine. I've taken it from some post on dzone.com.

BigInteger.valueOf(1695609641).toByteArray()

---

byte[] IntToByteArray( int data ) {    
    byte[] result = new byte[4];
    result[0] = (byte) ((data & 0xFF000000) >> 24);
    result[1] = (byte) ((data & 0x00FF0000) >> 16);
    result[2] = (byte) ((data & 0x0000FF00) >> 8);
    result[3] = (byte) ((data & 0x000000FF) >> 0);
    return result;        
}

---

Using Guava:

byte[] bytearray = Ints.toByteArray(1695609641);

---

byte[] conv = new byte[4];
conv[3] = (byte) input & 0xff;
input >>= 8;
conv[2] = (byte) input & 0xff;
input >>= 8;
conv[1] = (byte) input & 0xff;
input >>= 8;
conv[0] = (byte) input;

---

public static byte[] intToBytes(int x) throws IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(bos);
    out.writeInt(x);
    out.close();
    byte[] int_bytes = bos.toByteArray();
    bos.close();
    return int_bytes;
}

Because generally you would want to convert this array back to an int at a later point, here are the methods to convert an array of ints into an array of bytes and vice-versa:

public static byte[] convertToByteArray(final int[] pIntArray)
{
    final byte[] array = new byte[pIntArray.length * 4];
    for (int j = 0; j < pIntArray.length; j++)
    {
        final int c = pIntArray[j];
        array[j * 4] = (byte)((c & 0xFF000000) >> 24);
        array[j * 4 + 1] = (byte)((c & 0xFF0000) >> 16);
        array[j * 4 + 2] = (byte)((c & 0xFF00) >> 8);
        array[j * 4 + 3] = (byte)(c & 0xFF);
    }
    return array;
}

public static int[] convertToIntArray(final byte[] pByteArray)
{
    final int[] array = new int[pByteArray.length / 4];
    for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
        array[i] = (((int)(pByteArray[i * 4]) << 24) & 0xFF000000) |
                (((int)(pByteArray[i * 4 + 1]) << 16) & 0xFF0000) |
                (((int)(pByteArray[i * 4 + 2]) << 8) & 0xFF00) |
                ((int)(pByteArray[i * 4 + 3]) & 0xFF);
    return array;
}

Note that because of sign propagation and such, the "& 0xFF..." are needed when converting back to the int.

If you're using apache-commons

public static byte[] toByteArray(int value) {
    byte result[] = new byte[4];
    return Conversion.intToByteArray(value, 0, result, 0, 4);
}

The chunks below work at least for sending an int over UDP.

int to byte array:

public byte[] intToBytes(int my_int) throws IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    ObjectOutput out = new ObjectOutputStream(bos);
    out.writeInt(my_int);
    out.close();
    byte[] int_bytes = bos.toByteArray();
    bos.close();
    return int_bytes;
}

byte array to int:

public int bytesToInt(byte[] int_bytes) throws IOException {
    ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(int_bytes);
    ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(bis);
    int my_int = ois.readInt();
    ois.close();
    return my_int;
}

integer & 0xFF

for the first byte

(integer >> 8) & 0xFF

for the second and loop etc., writing into a preallocated byte array. A bit messy, unfortunately.

The class org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes has a bunch of handy byte[] conversion methods, but you might not want to add the whole HBase jar to your project just for this purpose. It's surprising that not only are such method missing AFAIK from the JDK, but also from obvious libs like commons io.

My try :

public static byte[] toBytes(final int intVal, final int... intArray) {
    if (intArray == null || (intArray.length == 0)) {
        return ByteBuffer.allocate(4).putInt(intVal).array();
    } else {
        final ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.allocate(4 + (intArray.length * 4)).putInt(intVal);
        for (final int val : intArray) {
            bb.putInt(val);
        }
        return bb.array();
    }
}

With it you can do this :

byte[] fourBytes = toBytes(0x01020304);
byte[] eightBytes = toBytes(0x01020304, 0x05060708);

Full class is here : https://gist.github.com/superbob/6548493, it supports initialization from shorts or long

byte[] eightBytesAgain = toBytes(0x0102030405060708L);
