对于固定长度，我会使用这样的东西，比如哈希值:

md5sum = String.format("%032x", new BigInteger(1, md.digest()));

只是迭代所有字节，转换为十六进制字符串使用整数。toString(不幸的是，没有字节。toString(带基数形参)并将它们全部附加到StringBuilder中。

byte[] arr;//set it to your value
StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder(arr.length*2);//1 byte...2 hex digits
for(int i=0;i<arr.length;i++){
  sb.append(Integer.toString(arr[i],16));
}
String hexValue=sb.toString();

这类似于指针Null的答案，但它使用整数。toString而不是String。格式提高性能。

  public static byte[] hexStringToByteArray(String s) {
    int len = s.length();
    byte[] data = new byte[len / 2];
    for (int i = 0; i < len; i += 2) {
      data[i / 2] = (byte) ((Character.digit(s.charAt(i), 16) << 4)
        + Character.digit(s.charAt(i+1), 16));
    }
  return data;
  } 

我发现了三种不同的方法: http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0596.html

他还提到，我认为最优雅的一个是:

static final String HEXES = "0123456789ABCDEF";
public static String getHex( byte [] raw ) {
    if ( raw == null ) {
        return null;
    }
    final StringBuilder hex = new StringBuilder( 2 * raw.length );
    for ( final byte b : raw ) {
        hex.append(HEXES.charAt((b & 0xF0) >> 4))
            .append(HEXES.charAt((b & 0x0F)));
    }
    return hex.toString();
}

Converts bytes data to hex characters

@param bytes byte array to be converted to hex string
@return byte String in hex format

private static String bytesToHex(byte[] bytes) {
    char[] hexChars = new char[bytes.length * 2];
    int v;
    for (int j = 0; j < bytes.length; j++) {
        v = bytes[j] & 0xFF;
        hexChars[j * 2] = HEX_ARRAY[v >>> 4];
        hexChars[j * 2 + 1] = HEX_ARRAY[v & 0x0F];
    }
    return new String(hexChars);
}

这是一个java.util。类似base64的实现，是不是很漂亮?

import java.util.Arrays;

public class Base16/* a.k.a. Hex */ {
    public static class Encoder{
        private static char[] toLowerHex={'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','a','b','c','d','e','f'};
        private static char[] toUpperHex={'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F'};
        private boolean upper;
        public Encoder(boolean upper) {
            this.upper=upper;
        }
        public String encode(byte[] data){
            char[] value=new char[data.length*2];
            char[] toHex=upper?toUpperHex:toLowerHex;
            for(int i=0,j=0; i<data.length; i++){
                int octet=data[i]&0xFF;
                value[j++]=toHex[octet>>4];
                value[j++]=toHex[octet&0xF];
            }
            return new String(value);
        }
        static final Encoder LOWER_CASE=new Encoder(false);
        static final Encoder UPPER_CASE=new Encoder(true);
    }
    public static Encoder getEncoder(){
        return Encoder.LOWER_CASE;

          int byteLength=(value.length-start)/2; // ignore trailing odd char if exists
          byte[] data=new byte[byteLength];
          for(int i=start,j=0;i<value.length;i+=2,j++){
