Integer.parseInt(hexString, 16)
Integer.valueOf(hexString, 16)
Integer.toString(number, 16)

There are Long versions of the same, should you wish.

The radix of binary numbers is 2, of octal numbers 8, of decimal numbers 10, and of hexadecimal numbers 16 -- but you can use any radix you want. I think it goes a bit pear-shaped beyond radix 36, though, because you run out of letters to represent your digits
