Try this

String decoded = new String(bytes, "UTF-8");

There are a bunch of encodings you can use, look at the Charset class in the Sun javadocs.

The "proper conversion" between byte[] and String is to explicitly state the encoding you want to use. If you start with a byte[] and it does not in fact contain text data, there is no "proper conversion". Strings are for text, byte[] is for binary data, and the only really sensible thing to do is to avoid converting between them unless you absolutely have to.

Yes you can convert byte array to String using one of the String constructors like this :

String myString = new String(yourByteArray);

Documentation for the same: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#String(byte[])

All the best :)
