Answer 1

One easy way: compute the length of your int array by dividing the length of the String by 2. Loop over the string, calling substring() to create the two-character strings "1f", "56", etc. Pass each string to Integer.parseInt(string, 16) (the second argument means that the argument is a hex string.) Store the results in the array as you compute them.
