Creating a byte type from a String in Java

Question

I have this string 11110000, which represents a byte.

I want to create a byte from that string, but I can't find any example on-line.

Can someone please help me?

Answer 1

int value = Integer.parseInt(s, 2); // 2 for binary

If you want byte type:

byte value = Byte.parseByte(s, 2); // 2 for binary

Answer 2

Use Byte#parseByte().
