Answer 1

you can use this methods. compile 'commons-codec:commons-codec:1.3'

and i use android.util.Base64 for Android

incompatible / replacement

DatatypeConverter.parseHexBinary 
org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex.decodeHex(key.toCharArray());




DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(finalData);
android.util.Base64.encodeToString(finalData, 16) 



DatatypeConverter.parseBase64Binary(encodedInitialData);
org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex.decodeHex(key.toCharArray());

Question

Answer 2

Android API provides Base64 to do the conversions you are looking for. However, I used Apache Codec as a compatibility library between different platforms for the client library to get around this issue.
