这是我迄今为止发现的运行最快的代码。我在23ms内运行了109015个长度为32的字节数组。我在VM上运行它，所以它在裸机上可能会运行得更快。

public static final char[] HEX_DIGITS =         {'0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F'};

public static char[] encodeHex( final byte[] data ){
    final int l = data.length;
    final char[] out = new char[l<<1];
    for( int i=0,j=0; i<l; i++ ){
        out[j++] = HEX_DIGITS[(0xF0 & data[i]) >>> 4];
        out[j++] = HEX_DIGITS[0x0F & data[i]];
    }
    return out;
}

然后你就可以做了

String s = new String( encodeHex(myByteArray) );

你可以使用Bouncy Castle Provider库中的方法:

org.bouncycastle.util.encoders.Hex.toHexString(byteArray);

Bouncy Castle Crypto包是一个Java实现 加密算法。这个jar包含JCE提供程序和 用于JDK 1.5的Bouncy Castle Cryptography API的轻量级API JDK 1.8。

Maven的依赖:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId>
    <artifactId>bcprov-jdk15on</artifactId>
    <version>1.60</version>
</dependency>

或来自Apache Commons Codec:

org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex.encodeHexString(byteArray);

Apache Commons Codec包包含简单的编码器和解码器 用于各种格式，如Base64和十六进制。除了 这些编码器和解码器被广泛使用，编解码器包也有 维护语音编码实用程序的集合。

Maven的依赖:

<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-codec</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-codec</artifactId>
    <version>1.11</version>
</dependency>

下面是一个将字节转换为十六进制的简单函数

   private static String convertToHex(byte[] data) {
    StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
    for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
        int halfbyte = (data[i] >>> 4) & 0x0F;
        int two_halfs = 0;
        do {
            if ((0 <= halfbyte) && (halfbyte <= 9))
                buf.append((char) ('0' + halfbyte));
            else
                buf.append((char) ('a' + (halfbyte - 10)));
            halfbyte = data[i] & 0x0F;
        } while(two_halfs++ < 1);
    }
    return buf.toString();
}

这是你的快速方法:

    private static final String[] hexes = new String[]{
        "00","01","02","03","04","05","06","07","08","09","0A","0B","0C","0D","0E","0F",

    };

    public static String byteToHex(byte b) {
        return hexes[b&0xFF];
    }

如果存在性能问题，创建(并销毁)一堆String实例并不是一个好方法。

请忽略那些冗长(重复)参数检查语句(if)。那是为了(另一个)教育目的。

这是我迄今为止发现的运行最快的代码。我在23ms内运行了109015个长度为32的字节数组。我在VM上运行它，所以它在裸机上可能会运行得更快。

public static final char[] HEX_DIGITS =         {'0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F'};

public static char[] encodeHex( final byte[] data ){
    final int l = data.length;
    final char[] out = new char[l<<1];
    for( int i=0,j=0; i<l; i++ ){
        out[j++] = HEX_DIGITS[(0xF0 & data[i]) >>> 4];
        out[j++] = HEX_DIGITS[0x0F & data[i]];
    }
    return out;
}

然后你就可以做了

String s = new String( encodeHex(myByteArray) );
