HMAC-SHA256 Algorithm for signature calculation

Question

I am trying to create a signature using the HMAC-SHA256 algorithm and this is my code  I am using US ASCII encoding  final Charset asciiCs   Charset forName  quot US-ASCII quot    final Mac sha256 HMAC   Mac getInstance  quot HmacSHA256 quot    final SecretKeySpec secret key   new javax crypto spec SecretKeySpec asciiCs encode  quot key quot   array     quot HmacSHA256 quot    sha256 HMAC init secret key   final byte   mac data   sha256 HMAC doFinal asciiCs encode  quot The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog quot   array     String result    quot  quot   for  final byte element   mac data        result    Integer toString  element  amp  0xff    0x100  16  substring 1     System out println  quot Result   quot    result    quot   quot     The result that I am getting from the above code is  f7bc83f430538424b13298e6aa6fb143ef4d59a14946175997479dbc2d1a3cd8  This is same as to that of shown in the wiki HMAC SHA256  quot key quot    quot The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog quot     0x f7bc83f430538424b13298e6aa6fb143ef4d59a14946175997479dbc2d1a3cd8  except for the 0x  I am looking for ideas comments if I am doing everything right or may be I can improve my code

Try this Sorry for being late  I have tried all above answers but none of them is giving me correct value  After doing the lot of R amp D I have found a simple way that gives me exact value   Declare this method in your class private String hmacSha String KEY  String VALUE  String SHA TYPE    try       SecretKeySpec signingKey   new SecretKeySpec KEY getBytes  quot UTF-8 quot    SHA TYPE       Mac mac   Mac getInstance SHA TYPE       mac init signingKey       byte   rawHmac   mac doFinal VALUE getBytes  quot UTF-8 quot         byte   hexArray     byte  0    byte  1    byte  2    byte  3    byte  4    byte  5    byte  6    byte  7    byte  8    byte  9    byte  a    byte  b    byte  c    byte  d    byte  e    byte  f        byte   hexChars   new byte rawHmac length   2       for   int j   0  j  lt  rawHmac length  j               int v   rawHmac j   amp  0xFF          hexChars j   2    hexArray v  gt  gt  gt  4           hexChars j   2   1    hexArray v  amp  0x0F             return new String hexChars     catch  Exception ex        throw new RuntimeException ex         Use this like Log e  quot TAG quot    quot onCreate   quot  hmacSha  quot key quot   quot text quot   quot HmacSHA256 quot        Verification 1 Android studio output  2  Online HMAC generator Output Visit here for Online Genrator

The 0x just denotes that the characters after it represent a hex string   0x1A    1Ah    26    1A   So the 0x is just to clarify what format the output is in  no need to worry about it

If you re using Guava  its latest release now lets you use    Hashing hmacSha256     Further documentation here   https   guava dev releases 23 0 api docs com google common hash Hashing html hmacSha256-byte A-

The answer that you got there is correct  One minor thing in the code above  you need to init key  before you can call doFinal        final Charset charSet   Charset forName  US-ASCII        final Mac sha256 HMAC   Mac getInstance  HmacSHA256         final SecretKeySpec secret key   new javax crypto spec SecretKeySpec charSet encode  key   array     HmacSHA256        try           sha256 HMAC init secret key         catch  InvalidKeyException e               TODO Auto-generated catch block         e printStackTrace

Here is my solution   public static String encode String key  String data  throws Exception     Mac sha256 HMAC   Mac getInstance  HmacSHA256      SecretKeySpec secret key   new SecretKeySpec key getBytes  UTF-8     HmacSHA256      sha256 HMAC init secret key      return Hex encodeHexString sha256 HMAC doFinal data getBytes  UTF-8         public static void main String    args  throws Exception     System out println encode  key    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog         Or you can return the hash encoded in Base64   Base64 encodeBase64String sha256 HMAC doFinal data getBytes  UTF-8        The output in hex is as expected   f7bc83f430538424b13298e6aa6fb143ef4d59a14946175997479dbc2d1a3cd8

If but any chance you found a solution how to calculate HMAC-SHA256 here  but you re getting an exception like this one      java lang NoSuchMethodError  No static method   encodeHexString  B Ljava lang String  in class   Lorg apache commons codec binary Hex  or its super classes    declaration of  org apache commons codec binary Hex  appears in    system framework org apache http legacy boot jar    Then use   public static String encode String key  String data        try           Mac hmac   Mac getInstance  HmacSHA256            SecretKeySpec secret key   new SecretKeySpec key getBytes  UTF-8     HmacSHA256            hmac init secret key           return new String Hex encodeHex hmac doFinal data getBytes  UTF-8             catch  Exception e            throw new RuntimeException e
