Here  if you are converting string into byte   There is a utility code        String   str   result replaceAll            replaceAll           split            byte   dataCopy   new byte str length        int i 0      for String s str             dataCopy i  Byte valueOf s           i              return dataCopy

You can try something similar to this    String s    65    byte value   Byte valueOf s     Use the Byte ValueOf   method for all the elements in the String array to convert them into Byte values

Since there was no answer for hex string to single byte conversion  here is mine   private static byte hexStringToByte String data        return  byte    Character digit data charAt 0   16   lt  lt  4                      Character digit data charAt 1   16        Sample usage   hexStringToByte  aa       170 hexStringToByte  ff       255 hexStringToByte  10       16     Or you can also try the Integer parseInt String number  int radix  imo  is way better than others      first parameter is a number represented in string    second is the radix or the base number system to be use Integer parseInt  de   16      222 Integer parseInt  ad   16      173 Integer parseInt  c9   16      201

Looking at the sample I guess you mean that a string array is actually an array of HEX representation of bytes  don t you   If yes  then for each string item I would do the following    check that a string consists only of 2 characters these chars are in  0    9  or  a    f  interval  take their case into account as well  convert each character to a corresponding number  subtracting code value of  0  or  a  build a byte value  where first char is higher bits and second char is lower ones  E g   int byteVal    firstCharNumber  lt  lt  4    secondCharNumber
