Convert an ASCII string into its decimal equivilent - java/android

Question

I'm trying to build an application that receives UDP string messages and then converts the string of characters in the packet to their decimal equivilents, i've tried a few methods and done some research but I cant seem to make any progress on this, i'm sure there must be a smart and easy way of doing this. Could anyone help me on this at all? thanks

Answer 1

char ch = 'A';

int code = ch;

Now you have the decimal equivalent in code.

If you have a String you should do this for each char from the String.

Answer 2

You can get the decimal equivalent of ascii like this,

int i='a';
System.out.println("i:="+i);
