What's your problem?


<div>

initiate that array when one of the entries is 0xff

<div>
byte[] myBytes = { 0x00b, 0xffb, 0x00b, 0x00b, 0x00b, 0x00b, 0x00b, 0x00b };<br />

</div>


byte[] myBytes = { 0x00b, 0xffb, 0x00b, 0x00b, 0x00b, 0x00b, 0x00b, 0x00b };


<div>
Does (byte)0xff can cause any harm?
</div>


<div>
no - it simply gets the lowes byte from the integer value - which is exactly what you want

How I can represent the following 8 bytes in a byte[] 0x00ff000000000000 ?<br />
In other words, I want something like:<br />
byte[] myBytes = { 00, ff, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00 };<br />
I know 0xff is an unsigned byte and I can use char as its type, but I want to construct a BigInteger with that array.<br />
BigInteger bi = new BigInteger(myBytes);<br />
Any suggestions?

BigInteger and byte array

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
