you can build up array of bytes like : 

    byte[] data = new byte[7];

    data[0] = "{".getBytes()[0];
    data[1] = "{".getBytes()[0];
    data[2] = (byte) 0xd1;
    data[3] = (byte) 0x00;
    data[4] = (byte) 0xd1 + 0x00;
    data[5] = "}".getBytes()[0];
    data[6] = "}".getBytes()[0];

People often confuse the representation of a number with the value of a number for some reason. The values you are adding are not hexadecimal or decimal or binary. They are just numbers. A byte is a byte. You can just add two bytes with + and there's nothing magical about it. It works the same whether you show the results as hex or decimal or anything:

Example:

  0x2A (42)
+ 0x13 (19)
= 0x3D (61)

Hex is just a notation for the value in the byte. Add them together using ordinary +.
