Your methods should be (something like)
public static int byteArrayToInt(byte[] b)
{
return b[3] & 0xFF |
(b[2] & 0xFF) << 8 |
(b[1] & 0xFF) << 16 |
(b[0] & 0xFF) << 24;
}
public static byte[] intToByteArray(int a)
{
return new byte[] {
(byte) ((a >> 24) & 0xFF),
(byte) ((a >> 16) & 0xFF),
(byte) ((a >> 8) & 0xFF),
(byte) (a & 0xFF)
};
}
These methods were tested with the following code :
Random rand = new Random(System.currentTimeMillis());
byte[] b;
int a, v;
for (int i=0; i<10000000; i++) {
a = rand.nextInt();
b = intToByteArray(a);
v = byteArrayToInt(b);
if (a != v) {
System.out.println("ERR! " + a + " != " + Arrays.toString(b) + " != " + v);
}
}
System.out.println("Done!");
