Android Code Snippet Binary2String

Hi

This is a snipped how to convert String to Binary and Binary to String.

Thanks to @sorex for providing the Binary2String Code and to @Erel for the String2Binary Code.

#1, String To Binary:

B4X:
Sub String2Binary(txt As String) As String
    Dim res As String = ""
    For Each b As Byte In txt.GetBytes("UTF8")
        Dim sb As StringBuilder
        sb.Initialize
        Dim x As Int = Bit.ShiftLeft(1, 31)
        For i = 0 To 31
            Dim ii As Int = Bit.And(Bit.And(0xff, b), x)
            If ii <> 0 Then    sb.Append("1") Else    sb.Append("0")
            x = Bit.UnsignedShiftRight(x, 1)
        Next
        res = res & NumberFormat2(sb.ToString, 8, 0, 0, False)' & " "
    Next
    Return res
End Sub

Use:
B4X:
Dim bin As String = String2Binary(txt)

#2, Binary To String:

B4X:
Sub Binary2String(Bin As String) As String
    Dim v As Int
    Dim data(Bin.Length/8) As Byte
    For x=0 To Bin.Length-1
        If Bin.CharAt(x)="1" Then v=v+Power(2,(Bin.Length-x-1) Mod 8)
        If x Mod 8=7 Then
            data(Floor(x/8))=v
            v=0
        End If
    Next
    Return BytesToString(data,0,data.Length,"UTF-8")
End Sub

Use:
B4X:
Log(Binary2String(bin))
