file - How to avoid individual casting to byte during initialization of byte array in Java -
i using byte array store text file outside of filesystem. it looks this: private static final byte[] cdrives = new byte[] { (byte)0xe0, 0x4f, (byte)0xd0, 0x20, (byte)0xea, 0x3a, 0x69, 0x10, (byte)0xa2, (byte)0xd8, 0x08, 0x00, 0x2b, 0x30, 0x30, (byte)0x9d, (byte)0xba, (byte)0x8a, 0x0d, 0x45, 0x25, (byte)0xad, (byte)0xd0, 0x11, (byte)0x98, (byte)0xa8, 0x08, 0x00, 0x36, 0x1b, 0x11, 0x03, (byte)0x80, 0x53, 0x1c, (byte)0x87, (byte)0xa0, 0x42, 0x69, 0x10, (byte)0xa2, (byte)0xea, 0x08, 0x00, 0x2b, 0x30, 0x30, (byte)0x9d ... ... ... }; is there way avoid casting (byte) better visual interpretation? i don't mind using other data type, need able build inputstream out of , fastest way if possible. (for example storing text file string variable not best way...) well 1 simple approach use base64 - perform conversion on class initialization, take performance hit once: private static final byte[...
