Parse(byte[]) cannot be applied to java.lang.string

Question

Trying to parse data to establish a connection between a device and a test server. Except, I get a red line on (toParse) within String parsedMessage = (String)comm.parse(toParse).getPayload(); with the error parse(byte[]) in Communicator cannot be applied to (java.lang.String)

I have tried to change String toParse to byte[] toParse and it makes the red line go away for parse(toParse) but the byte[] toParse turns red instead with the error "required byte[], found java.lang.String"

Communicator comm = new 
Communicatior(InstrumentationRegistry.getTargetContext());
String toParse = "88819188181A7";
String parsedMessage = (String)comm.parse(toParse).getPayload();

Try to invoke the method getBytes() like this:

String parsedMessage = (String)comm.parse(toParse.getBytes()).getPayload();

I ran a test and I got this error java.lang.ClassCastException: byte[] cannot be cast to java.lang.String for the line String parsedMessage = (String)comm.parse(toParse.getBytes()).getPayload();

Can you tell me what is the return type of the method getPayload()?

Sure, it is a String. String type.
