How to convert binary octet string into byte array for writing into socket

[Shaik Muhammad]

I need to convert binary octet string into byte array for writing into socket.
ie i have to convert the octet string "00000010" into byte array with the value 00000010. How to do this?

Byte.parseByte("00000010",2) returns the binary value (that is, 2) as a byte. You will need to do this to every eight binary digits in your input and write them into each element of a byte array.

You can't fit 32 bits in a byte. Look at Carey's example
