Getting a File s MD5 Checksum in Java

Question

I am looking to use Java to get the MD5 checksum of a file   I was really surprised but I haven t been able to find anything that shows how to get the MD5 checksum of a file   How is it done

Guava now provides a new  consistent hashing API that is much more user-friendly than the various hashing APIs provided in the JDK  See Hashing Explained  For a file  you can get the MD5 sum  CRC32  with version 14 0   or many other hashes easily   HashCode md5   Files hash file  Hashing md5     byte   md5Bytes   md5 asBytes    String md5Hex   md5 toString     HashCode crc32   Files hash file  Hashing crc32     int crc32Int   crc32 asInt        the Checksum API returns a long  but it s padded with 0s for 32-bit CRC    this is the value you would get if using that API directly long checksumResult   crc32 padToLong

If you re using ANT to build  this is dead-simple   Add the following to your build xml    lt checksum file    jarFile   todir    toDir    gt    Where jarFile is the JAR you want to generate the MD5 against  and toDir is the directory you want to place the MD5 file   More info here

I recently had to do this for just a dynamic string  MessageDigest can represent the hash in numerous ways  To get the signature of the file like you would get with the md5sum command I had to do something like the this    try      String s    TEST STRING      MessageDigest md5   MessageDigest getInstance  MD5       md5 update s getBytes   0 s length        String signature   new BigInteger 1 md5 digest    toString 16      System out println  Signature    signature      catch  final NoSuchAlgorithmException e       e printStackTrace        This obviously doesn t answer your question about how to do it specifically for a file  the above answer deals with that quiet nicely  I just spent a lot of time getting the sum to look like most application s display it  and thought you might run into the same trouble

If you re using ANT to build  this is dead-simple   Add the following to your build xml    lt checksum file    jarFile   todir    toDir    gt    Where jarFile is the JAR you want to generate the MD5 against  and toDir is the directory you want to place the MD5 file   More info here
