I have a 

Map nameANDbytes =  new HashMap<String, byte[]>();

How can I get that byte array out of map?

Lets say I put 

 InputStream input = zipfile.getInputStream(zipentry);
 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input, "UTF-8"));
 nameANDbytes.put(fileName, br.toString().getBytes());

print is :

*.png
[B@1339e7aa

now I want to get values :

byte[] b = entry.getValue().toString().getBytes();

and it is 

[B@1fb669c3

What's wrong?

    _What's wrong_ Although not completely clear from your question, I would say the `br.toString().getBytes()` is wrong. `br.toString()` does not read your input. You are just getting a String representation of the `BufferedReader` and then you convert that string to a byte array. Perfectly valid code, but probably not what you were aiming for. – Robin Oct 18 '14 at 16:55

I think you want

byte[] b = (byte[]) entry.getValue();
