			{
				System.out.print(new String(buffer,0,length).toString());

				this.lc.UpdateStatus(new String(buffer,0,length).toString());
				Thread.sleep(4000);

i am trying to get the Status in binary form but i am getting that in hex form. can anybody tell me where to change the code to get the binary response. here is my main class

____________________________________________________________________________

package retry_relay;

public class LightManager {

	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		try
		{				
			LightController_new lightControllerObj = new LightController_new();
			lightControllerObj.makeObjectOfLights_new();

			lightControllerObj.listOfLights.get(8).lightOn();
			Thread.sleep(2000);
			lightControllerObj.listOfLights.get(8).lightOff("00000000");
			lightControllerObj.UpdateStatus(lightControllerObj.listOfLights.get(8));
		}
		catch(Exception e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

and this is the Update status method in some other class:-
___________________________________________________________________________________

public void UpdateStatus(Object obj)
	{
		try
		{
			String command = "?012" + "\r";
			System.out.println(command);
			out.write(command.getBytes());
			System.out.println("-----------------------Current Status-------------------------");
		}
		catch ( IOException e )
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } 
}

I think you need to revise the UpdateStatus method. It doesn't use the single argument passed to it.

[duhit Choudhary]

can you please elaborate? i am still not able to get what you exactly want to say...

[James Boswell]

The argument obj to your UpdateStatus method, it is never used.

i tried a lot on the thing you told me. but unfortunately couldn't find the right solution. can you please provide the solution for this. it will definitely be a great help. thank you

What is the argument Object obj in this method used for? In the method, you are creating a String, printing it to System.out and writing it to yet another out. None of these operations use the argument obj anywhere.

What's the output you are getting, and what were you expecting?
