Base64 encoder and decoder
I am trying to encode a Url with Base64. Is there any way to encode it with Base64 in java/android?
I need something similar to base64_encode() function in PHP.

Is your input a string? Due to your comment, it may well be, and in that case, the function you're looking for will not be exactly the same as `base64_encode` since strings are usually sequences of bytes in PHP and UTF-16 in Java. This is why Android's Base64 requires byte arrays as input to the encoding function. – Peter O. Oct 07 '11 at 13:47

Input is string. The input was not an issue as I could convert the string easily suing getBytes(). However, outputting the result as a string was hard. – Kalimah Oct 07 '11 at 13:52

Base64 is part of the Android SDK from API level 8 onwards.

1I am aware of that. However I needed simple function instead of converting from byte[] to string. – Kalimah Oct 07 '11 at 13:42

If you don't want the encoded output to wrap (i.e. contain the new line character) use Base64.encodeToString("text".getBytes(), Base64.NO_WRAP); – Akinola Olayinka Oct 26 '17 at 08:46
