Write code to convert byte array to Hex String via hex char table

Hint

The hex char table is like

byte[] HEX_CHAR_TABLE = { (byte) '0', (byte) '1',
            (byte) '2', (byte) '3', (byte) '4', (byte) '5', (byte) '6',
            (byte) '7', (byte) '8', (byte) '9', (byte) 'a', (byte) 'b',
            (byte) 'c', (byte) 'd', (byte) 'e', (byte) 'f' };

Demo

//package com.book2s;

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        byte[] raw = new byte[] { 34, 35, 36, 37, 37, 37, 67, 68, 69 };
        System.out.println(toHexString(raw));
    }//from   w w w  .j  a  v  a 2s. co m

    private static final byte[] HEX_CHAR_TABLE = { (byte) '0', (byte) '1',
            (byte) '2', (byte) '3', (byte) '4', (byte) '5', (byte) '6',
            (byte) '7', (byte) '8', (byte) '9', (byte) 'a', (byte) 'b',
            (byte) 'c', (byte) 'd', (byte) 'e', (byte) 'f' };

    public static String toHexString(byte[] raw)
            throws IllegalArgumentException {
        final byte[] hex = new byte[2 * raw.length];
        int index = 0;

        for (final byte b : raw) {
            final int v = b & 0xFF;
            hex[index++] = HEX_CHAR_TABLE[v >>> 4];
            hex[index++] = HEX_CHAR_TABLE[v & 0xF];
        }
        try {
            return new String(hex, "ASCII");
        } catch (final UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal Hex string", e);
        }
    }
}
