对于固定长度，我会使用这样的东西，比如哈希值:

md5sum = String.format("%032x", new BigInteger(1, md.digest()));

@maybewecouldstealavan提出的解决方案的一个小变种，它让你在输出十六进制字符串中可视化地捆绑N个字节:

 final static char[] HEX_ARRAY = "0123456789ABCDEF".toCharArray();
 final static char BUNDLE_SEP = ' ';

public static String bytesToHexString(byte[] bytes, int bundleSize /*[bytes]*/]) {
        char[] hexChars = new char[(bytes.length * 2) + (bytes.length / bundleSize)];
        for (int j = 0, k = 1; j < bytes.length; j++, k++) {
                int v = bytes[j] & 0xFF;
                int start = (j * 2) + j/bundleSize;

                hexChars[start] = HEX_ARRAY[v >>> 4];
                hexChars[start + 1] = HEX_ARRAY[v & 0x0F];

                if ((k % bundleSize) == 0) {
                        hexChars[start + 2] = BUNDLE_SEP;
                }   
        }   
        return new String(hexChars).trim();    
}

那就是:

bytesToHexString("..DOOM..".toCharArray().getBytes(), 2);
2E2E 444F 4F4D 2E2E

bytesToHexString("..DOOM..".toCharArray().getBytes(), 4);
2E2E444F 4F4D2E2E

Apache Commons Codec库有一个Hex类用于完成这种类型的工作。

import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex;

String foo = "I am a string";
byte[] bytes = foo.getBytes();
System.out.println( Hex.encodeHexString( bytes ) );

这个怎么样?

    String byteToHex(final byte[] hash)
    {
        Formatter formatter = new Formatter();
        for (byte b : hash)
        {
            formatter.format("%02x", b);
        }
        String result = formatter.toString();
        formatter.close();
        return result;
    }

HexFormat是在Java 17中加入的:

String hex = HexFormat.of().formatHex(array);

从这里的讨论，特别是这个答案，这是我目前使用的函数:

private static final char[] HEX_ARRAY = "0123456789ABCDEF".toCharArray();
public static String bytesToHex(byte[] bytes) {
    char[] hexChars = new char[bytes.length * 2];
    for (int j = 0; j < bytes.length; j++) {
        int v = bytes[j] & 0xFF;
        hexChars[j * 2] = HEX_ARRAY[v >>> 4];
        hexChars[j * 2 + 1] = HEX_ARRAY[v & 0x0F];
    }
    return new String(hexChars);
}

My own tiny benchmarks (a million bytes a thousand times, 256 bytes 10 million times) showed it to be much faster than any other alternative, about half the time on long arrays. Compared to the answer I took it from, switching to bitwise ops --- as suggested in the discussion --- cut about 20% off of the time for long arrays. (Edit: When I say it's faster than the alternatives, I mean the alternative code offered in the discussions. Performance is equivalent to Commons Codec, which uses very similar code.)

2k20版本，相对于Java 9的压缩字符串:

private static final byte[] HEX_ARRAY = "0123456789ABCDEF".getBytes(StandardCharsets.US_ASCII);
public static String bytesToHex(byte[] bytes) {
    byte[] hexChars = new byte[bytes.length * 2];
    for (int j = 0; j < bytes.length; j++) {
        int v = bytes[j] & 0xFF;
        hexChars[j * 2] = HEX_ARRAY[v >>> 4];
        hexChars[j * 2 + 1] = HEX_ARRAY[v & 0x0F];
    }
    return new String(hexChars, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
}
