This method has following two forms:
- getBytes(String charsetName): Encodes this String into a sequence of bytes using the named charset, storing the result into a new byte array.
- getBytes(): Encodes this String into a sequence of bytes using the platform’s default charset, storing the result into a new byte array.
Syntax:
Here is the syntax of this method:
public byte[] getBytes(String charsetName) throws UnsupportedEncodingException or public byte[] getBytes()
Parameters:
Here is the detail of parameters:
- charsetName — the name of a supported charset.
Return Value :
This method returns the resultant byte array
Example:
import java.io.*; public class Test{ public static void main(String args[]){ String Str1 = new String("Welcome to dineshonjava.com"); try{ byte[] Str2 = Str1.getBytes(); System.out.println("Returned Value " + Str2 ); Str2 = Str1.getBytes( "UTF-8" ); System.out.println("Returned Value " + Str2 ); Str2 = Str1.getBytes( "ISO-8859-1" ); System.out.println("Returned Value " + Str2 ); }catch( UnsupportedEncodingException e){ System.out.println("Unsupported character set"); } } }
This produces following result:
Returned Value [B@192d342
Returned Value [B@15ff48b
Returned Value [B@1b90b39
