Convert MD5 array to String java

Question

I know that there is a lot of similar topics, but still... can someone provide me a working example of method which generates MD5 String.
I'm currently using MessageDigest, and I'm doing the following to get a string

sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(messageDigest.digest())  

I guess there is some better way to do that.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
byte[] arr = md.digest(bytesOfMessage);
return Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(arr);

note: md5 is not considered as good hash algorithm anymore, consider choosing SHAs
