Is there any difference between Apache's Base64.encodeBase64 and Android's Base64.encode with Base64.Default flag?

Question

Sample A (using org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64):

Base64.encodeBase64("foobar".getBytes());

Sample B (using android.util.Base64):

Base64.encode("foobar".getBytes(), Base64.DEFAULT);

Do these produce the same string?

No, the difference is that with the default settings, Android's Base64 includes line terminators. To obtain the same result as with the Apache encoding, use Base64.NO_WRAP.

Does the same hold for android.util.Base64.decode() ? – Johann Hagerer Dec 02 '16 at 16:12
