Long.decode(str)
accepts a variety of formats:
Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal
numbers given by the following
grammar:
DecodableString:
- Signopt DecimalNumeral
- Signopt 0x HexDigits
- Signopt 0X HexDigits
- Signopt # HexDigits
- Signopt 0 OctalDigits
Sign:
- –
But in your case that won’t help, your String is beyond the scope of what long can hold. You need a BigInteger
:
String s = "4d0d08ada45f9dde1e99cad9";
BigInteger bi = new BigInteger(s, 16);
System.out.println(bi);
Output:
23846102773961507302322850521
