byte[] to string - Not working

[Johannes Thorén]

For some reason my byte[].toString() does not result in a string that represents the content of the byte array. I got this code:

byte[] msg = new byte[4096];

String message = msg.toString();
message = message.trim();
testApa = message.getBytes();
out.write(testApa);

I get this as output: [B@1732a4df


But when i do this, it works:

String startString="start_game";
message = startString.trim();
testApa = message.getBytes();
out.write(testApa);

I get this output: start_game


This is the code that creates msg:

while((n = in.read(msg, bytesRead, 256)) != -1) {
				bytesRead += n;
				if (bytesRead == 4096) {
					break;
				}
				if (in.available() == 0) {
					break;
				}
			}

Does anyone know why my byte array does not result in the string "start_game" when converting with toString() ?

Dupliacate post! I answered this question yesterday.

change line 3 of your first code to

String message = new String(msg); 

Johannes Thorén, you aren't concentrating.
