How can I get first 16 bit from byteArray in Android Java?

Question

Can anyone give me a util method that will give me first 16bit from a bytearray in Android/Java?

Code:

 //Decode API response using Base64 decoder
            byte[] decodedResult = Base64.decode(apiResponse, Base64.DEFAULT);

            //get first 16 bit from decodedResult
            byte[] first16Bit = 

DUMMY Example in Flex language:

//Storing First 16 bits of databytearray to ivByteArray
                var ivByteArray:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
                ivByteArray.writeBytes(dataByteArray,0,16);
//Storing from 16 bits to length of databytearray to encByteArray 
                var encByteArray:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
                encByteArray.writeBytes(dataByteArray,16);

You can use copyOfRange from Java.

Ex.,

byte[] first16Bit = Arrays.copyOfRange(dataByteArray, 0, 16)

Update I didn't noticed that in the question user has been asked about bit instead of byte, anyway, if you want first 16 bit you can use following.

byte[] first16Bit = Arrays.copyOfRange(dataByteArray, 0, 2)
