Thanks Rob,

Is there any possiblity to convert without using API like ByteBuffer.

If it's a byte array just reverse the array:

for (int i = 0, j = array.length - 1; i < j; i++, j--)
{
    byte b = array[i];
    array[i] = array[j];
    array[j] = b;
}

Thanks Rob,

instead of reversing i shifted the bytes and got the output,

firstByte << 24 ;
secondByte << 16 ;
thirdByte << 8 ;
fourthByte ;

Thanks a lot for response

Hi,

I want to send a int value to server in little endian so it should be converted to uint32. I have this method to convert from big endian to little endian. Can I run an endian converter on a byte array? Please let me know.

public static byte[] convertBigEndianToLittleEndianByteArray(int i)
{
ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(4);
buffer.order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN).putInt(i);
byte [] b = buffer.array();
System.out.print("Little endian buffer of " + i + " = ");
for(int x=0; x<b.length; x++) System.out.print(b[x] + " ");
System.out.println();
return b;
}

Thanks,
