Android - Decodebase64 Crashes App

I have to encrypt a String but the app doesn't reach the encrypt method, it crashes on load. I'm using Apache Commons Codec library. private EditText txtPass = (EditText)findViewB

Solution 1:

Try this:

// decode data from base 64privatestaticbyte[] decodeBase64(String dataToDecode)
        {
            byte[] dataDecoded = Base64.decode(dataToDecode, Base64.DEFAULT);
            return dataDecoded;
        }

//enconde data in base 64privatestaticbyte[] encodeBase64(byte[] dataToEncode)
        {
            byte[] dataEncoded = Base64.encode(dataToEncode, Base64.DEFAULT);
            return dataEncoded;
        }

Solution 2:

Simply create an object of Base64 and use it to encode or decode in Android, when using org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64 library

To Encode

Base64 ed=new Base64();

String encoded=new String(ed.encode("Hello".getBytes()));

Replace "Hello" with the text to be encoded in String Format.

To Decode

Base64 ed=new Base64();

String decoded=new String(ed.decode(encoded.getBytes()));

Here encoded is the String variable to be decoded

Solution 3:

you are giving a string as an input you should give key.getBytes() to the decode methos
