Java converting int to hex and back again
int val = -32768;String hex = Integer.toHexString(val);int parsedResult = (int) Long.parseLong(hex, 16);System.out.println(parsedResult);That's how you can do it.
The reason why it doesn't work your way: Integer.parseInt takes a signed int, while toHexString produces an unsigned result. So if you insert something higher than 0x7FFFFFF, an error will be thrown automatically. If you parse it as long instead, it will still be signed. But when you cast it back to int, it will overflow to the correct value.
