How to convert a byte[] to an integer

For LittleEndian:

    byte[] k={23,39,23,40};
     int y=0;

     y=k[0];
     for (int i=1; i<4; i++) {
        y = y << 8;
        y += k[i];
     }

For BigEndian:
    byte[] k={23,39,23,40};
     int y=0;

     y=k[3];
     for (int i=2; i>=0; i--) {
        y = y << 8;
        y += k[i];
     }

Or, not worying about manual conversion, like

byte[] byteArray = {1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6};
int value = -1; // -1 considered as invalid value for this operation.
try {
  value = Integer.parseInt(new String(byteArray));
} catch(Exception e) {
  value = -1;
}

Ovi, your method does not work.

Sorry about that, I've tested myself after I posted. Please ignore the comment.

Now try this code:
===========================================
import java.io.*;

public class Test {

  public Test() {
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Test test1 = new Test();
    try {
      RandomAccessFile rf=new RandomAccessFile("d:\\ok.txt","rw");
      rf.writeInt(777678);        
      rf.close();
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
       System.out.print(ex);
    }

  }
}
===============================================
After run the above code , we can get a 4-bytes file!
Now we use bytes arrarys to restore the integer777678,
I know use rf.readInt() can restore the integer 777687 at easy,this time ,suppose I can get a byte arrary from the 4-bytes file ok.txt
Now retore it with the following code:
===============================================
import java.io.*;

public class Test {

  public Test() {
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Test test1 = new Test();
    try {
      RandomAccessFile rf=new RandomAccessFile("d:\\ok.txt","rw");
     // rf.writeByte();
     //rf.writeInt(777678);
      byte [] w=new byte[4];
      rf.read(w);
    int y=0;

    y=w[0];
    for (int i=1; i<4; i++) {
       y = y << 8;
       y += w[i];
    }

System.out.print(y);
      rf.close();
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
       System.out.print(ex);
    }

  }
}
============================
we can only get: an integer:711886
       not 777678!!
