as the title specfies I'm trying to convert a byte array to string. with no luck. say my byte array is: [11,20,9].

(I've entered: array[0] = 11; array[1] = 20;...)
String str;
str = array.toString(); // prints: [B@4554617c

When I try using str = new String(array) I get some weird symbols.

Any you of familiar with a method for this case? thanks.

use the `String` constructor. Something like this: `new String(array, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);` – gonzo Feb 23 '16 at 19:54
thank you, I'll look it up. – Jayn Feb 23 '16 at 20:03
`String str = Arrays.toString(array);` (because in Java, arrays are _very_ dumb) – Zdeněk Pavlas Feb 26 '16 at 21:09
