非常快速和干净的java方法，不依赖于外部库:

(如果你想要，只需将MD5替换为SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384或SHA-512)

public String calcMD5() throws Exception{
        byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
        MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");

        DigestInputStream dis = new DigestInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File("Path to file")), md);
        try {
            while (dis.read(buffer) != -1);
        }finally{
            dis.close();
        }

        byte[] bytes = md.digest();

        // bytesToHex-method
        char[] hexChars = new char[bytes.length * 2];
        for ( int j = 0; j < bytes.length; j++ ) {
            int v = bytes[j] & 0xFF;
            hexChars[j * 2] = hexArray[v >>> 4];
            hexChars[j * 2 + 1] = hexArray[v & 0x0F];
        }

        return new String(hexChars);
}

好的。对于那些已经有Spring和Apache Commons依赖关系或计划添加它的人，我必须添加。

DigestUtils.md5DigestAsHex(FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(file))

对于和Apache共享的唯一选项(credit @duleshi):

DigestUtils.md5Hex(FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(file))

希望这能帮助到一些人。

谷歌guava提供了一个新的API。找到下面的一个:

public static HashCode hash(File file,
            HashFunction hashFunction)
                     throws IOException

Computes the hash code of the file using hashFunction.

Parameters:
    file - the file to read
    hashFunction - the hash function to use to hash the data
Returns:
    the HashCode of all of the bytes in the file
Throws:
    IOException - if an I/O error occurs
Since:
    12.0

使用Apache Commons Codec库中的DigestUtils:

try (InputStream is = Files.newInputStream(Paths.get("file.zip"))) {
    String md5 = org.apache.commons.codec.digest.DigestUtils.md5Hex(is);
}

在Real的Java-How-to中有一个使用MessageDigest类的例子。

请查看该页面中使用CRC32和SHA-1的示例。

import java.io.*;
import java.security.MessageDigest;

public class MD5Checksum {

   public static byte[] createChecksum(String filename) throws Exception {
       InputStream fis =  new FileInputStream(filename);

       byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
       MessageDigest complete = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
       int numRead;

       do {
           numRead = fis.read(buffer);
           if (numRead > 0) {
               complete.update(buffer, 0, numRead);
           }
       } while (numRead != -1);

       fis.close();
       return complete.digest();
   }

   // see this How-to for a faster way to convert
   // a byte array to a HEX string
   public static String getMD5Checksum(String filename) throws Exception {
       byte[] b = createChecksum(filename);
       String result = "";

       for (int i=0; i < b.length; i++) {
           result += Integer.toString( ( b[i] & 0xff ) + 0x100, 16).substring( 1 );
       }
       return result;
   }

   public static void main(String args[]) {
       try {
           System.out.println(getMD5Checksum("apache-tomcat-5.5.17.exe"));
           // output :
           //  0bb2827c5eacf570b6064e24e0e6653b
           // ref :
           //  http://www.apache.org/dist/
           //          tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.17/bin
           //              /apache-tomcat-5.5.17.exe.MD5
           //  0bb2827c5eacf570b6064e24e0e6653b *apache-tomcat-5.5.17.exe
       }
       catch (Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       }
   }
}

从其他答案中提取想法，这里有一个简单的代码，没有第三方依赖关系(或DatatypeConverter，在最新的jdk中更长)，将其生成为与md5sum工具输出兼容的十六进制字符串:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
...

static String calculateMD5(String path) throws IOException
{
    try {
        MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
        md.update(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(path)));
        return String.format("%032x", new BigInteger(1, md.digest())); // hex, padded to 32 chars
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException ex)
    {
        throw new RuntimeException(ex); // MD5 is always available so this should be impossible
    }
}
