Need help

I have String stringName = "1010005100";
How do i conver that string to byte array, Unsigned Integer ( size 8 ).
The resul should be "0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x3c, 0x33, 0x74, 0x6c"

Can you explain what the String represents? Is is a decimal number?
If so use one of the Long class methods to convert it to an long value.
Then use the AND operator (with 0xFF mask) and shifts to get each byte of the long into the byte array.

I guess this may help

String stringName = "1010005100";
byte [] array=stringName.getBytes();
