java : converting hexadecimal number string to decimal

Question

I receive hexadecimal number string from Matlab into my device . I check the data that is send via wireshark :

0000  00 16 cf 5c 0d c2 ec 55  f9 44 c8 9b 08 00 45 00   ...\...U .D....E.

00e0  00 00 c0 39 99 99 a0 00  00 00   

I receive this data (byte[]) here :

receiveddata += str(data[i]) + " ";

and here is what my device shows on the screen even before converting hexa to decimal :

64 71 32 0 0 0 0 0 -65 -39 -103 -103 -96 0 0 0 64 89 -93 51 64 0 0 0 -64 0 -52 -52 -64 0 0 0 64 86 -68 -52 -64 0 0 0 63 -10 102 102 96 0 0 0 64 100 120 0 0 0 0 0 -64 26 -52 -52 -64 0 0 0 64 70 108 -52 -64 0 0 0 63 -39 -103 -103 -96 0 0 0 64 111 -32 0 0 0 0 0 64 89 -128 0 0 0 0 0 64 71 -7 -103 -96 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 64 111 -32 0 0 0 0 0 -64 57 -103 -103 -96 0 0 0 64 111 -32 0 0 0 0 0 -64 57 -103 -103 -96 0 0 0 64 111 -32 0 0 0 0 0 -64 57 -103 -103 -96 0 0 0 64 111 -32 0 0 0 0 0 -64 57 -103 -103 -96 0 0 0 64 111 -32 0 0 0 0 0 -64 57 -103 -103 -96 0 0 0 

totally nonsense ! anybody knows why the device shows this nonsense? does it convert hexadecimal itself to this format ?

for example I send 0 23 23 12 33 (xpc target udp send binary block)

in wire shark :

but in the mobile screen :

000000000000000 55 64 000000 55 64000000 40 64..............

Answer 1

You havn't told us what type data has, but presumably it is byte[].

What would you expect from the following code

byte b = 42;
String receiveddata = "" + b;

Obviously you'll get a bunch of numbers.

Try using new String(data).
