如果您乐于使用外部库，则org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex类有一个encodeHex方法，该方法接受一个字节[]并返回一个char[]。这个方法比format选项快得多，并且封装了转换的细节。还附带了一个decodeHex方法，用于相反的转换。

你可以使用Bouncy Castle Provider库中的方法:

org.bouncycastle.util.encoders.Hex.toHexString(byteArray);

Bouncy Castle Crypto包是一个Java实现 加密算法。这个jar包含JCE提供程序和 用于JDK 1.5的Bouncy Castle Cryptography API的轻量级API JDK 1.8。

或来自Apache Commons Codec:

org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex.encodeHexString(byteArray);

Apache Commons Codec包包含简单的编码器和解码器 用于各种格式，如Base64和十六进制。除了 这些编码器和解码器被广泛使用，编解码器包也有 维护语音编码实用程序的集合。

BigInteger n = new BigInteger(byteArray);
String hexa = n.toString(16);

如果存在性能问题，创建(并销毁)一堆String实例并不是一个好方法。

请忽略那些冗长(重复)参数检查语句(if)。那是为了(另一个)教育目的。

使用BigInteger将byte[]转换为十六进制字符串的简单方法:

import java.math.BigInteger;

byte[] bytes = new byte[] {(byte)255, 10, 20, 30};
String hex = new BigInteger(1, bytes).toString(16);
System.out.println(hex); // ff0a141e

它是如何工作的?

内置的系统类java.math.BigInteger类(java.math.BigInteger)兼容二进制和十六进制数据:

它有一个构造函数BigInteger(signum=1, byte[])通过byte[]创建一个大整数(设置它的第一个参数signum=1以正确处理负字节) 使用BigInteger.toString(16)将大整数转换为十六进制字符串 要解析十六进制数，请使用new BigInteger("ffa74b"， 16) -不能正确处理前导零

如果你想在十六进制结果中有前导零，检查它的大小，并在必要时添加缺少的零:

if (hex.length() % 2 == 1)
    hex = "0" + hex;

笔记

使用new BigInteger(1, bytes)，而不是new BigInteger(bytes)，因为Java“被设计破坏了”，字节数据类型不包含字节，而是有符号的小整数[-128…127]。如果第一个字节是负的，BigInteger假设您传递了一个负的大整数。只需传递1作为第一个参数(signum=1)。

从十六进制转换回字节[]是棘手的:有时前导零进入产生的输出，它应该像这样被清除:

byte[] bytes = new BigInteger("ffa74b", 16).toByteArray();
if (bytes[0] == 0) {
    byte[] newBytes = new byte[bytes.length - 1];
    System.arraycopy(bytes, 1, newBytes, 0, newBytes.length);
    bytes = newBytes;
}

最后一个提示是如果字节[]有几个前导零，它们将丢失。
