Base64 encoding issue in Java

Question

I have coded the following code to encode the byte[] str.

Byte[] str; 
Byte[] encoded=Base64.encodeToString(str);

But Base64 word is not defined

I tried base64.encode() & base64.getEncoder()

I found a defined statement But I don't know how to use it:

byte[] encoded=Base64.encoder()

How to use it? Or how can I encode a string or byte[] with or without libraries.

Firstly, Byte[] and byte[] aren't the same types. You almost certainly want byte[]. Next, to use the Base64 class in Android, you should import android.util.Base64. — Jon Skeet

Have you check the javadoc for Base64.encoder()? docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Base64.Encoder.html — jhamon

Import Base64 as android.util.Base64

encodeToString takes byte array and return String.

String encoded=Base64.encodeToString(byteArray);
