FAtiMA.Core.util.parsers.BinaryStringConverter

public class BinaryStringConverter
extends Object

this class contains methods to convert binary data (a byte array) into a string and vice versa. Currently uses very simple conversion transferring every byte into 2 characters that describe the hex value of the byte. In order to improve performance we could use Base64, but this will need some more work as Android and the regular sun api cannot use the same Base64 encoders/decoders and we want to keep FatiMA code compatible to both platforms more info about conversion here: http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/jw-javatip117.html
