BigInteger n = new BigInteger(byteArray);
String hexa = n.toString(16);

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();
}

    byte[] bytes = {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3 };
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for (byte b : bytes) {
        sb.append(String.format("%02X ", b));
    }
    System.out.println(sb.toString());
    // prints "FF 00 01 02 03 "

看看问题的文本，也有可能是这样要求的:

    String[] arr = {"-1", "0", "10", "20" };
    for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        arr[i] = String.format("%02x", Byte.parseByte(arr[i]));
    }
    System.out.println(java.util.Arrays.toString(arr));
    // prints "[ff, 00, 0a, 14]"

这里的几个答案使用Integer.toHexString(int);这是可行的，但有一些注意事项。由于形参是int型，因此对byte参数执行扩大原语转换，这涉及到符号扩展。

    byte b = -1;
    System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(b));
    // prints "ffffffff"

在Java中有符号的8位字节被符号扩展为32位整型。为了有效地撤销这个符号扩展，可以使用0xFF来屏蔽字节。

    byte b = -1;
    System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(b & 0xFF));
    // prints "ff"

使用toHexString的另一个问题是它不会用零填充:

    byte b = 10;
    System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(b & 0xFF));
    // prints "a"

这两个因素结合起来应该形成字符串。格式解决方案更佳。

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。

最好的解决方案是这样的一句话:

String hex=DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary(byte[] b);

正如这里提到的

这是一条非常快的路。不需要外部库。

final protected static char[] HEXARRAY = "0123456789abcdef".toCharArray();

    public static String encodeHexString( byte[] bytes ) {

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