Method Details

encodeSlashes

public static String encodeSlashes(String nodeName)

Encode strings containing forward slashes so that they can be used as node names with secure preferences. It is the responsibility of the consumer to manually encode such strings before attempting to obtain corresponding nodes from secure preferences.

Internally, the class uses a subset of JIT encoding. The forward slashes and backward slashes are encoded.

Parameters:

nodeName - string to be encoded

Returns:

encoded string, null if argument was null

• decodeSlashes(String)

decodeSlashes

public static String decodeSlashes(String nodeName)

Decode strings previously encoded with the encodeSlashes(String) method.

Parameters:

nodeName - string to be decoded

Returns:

decoded string, null if argument was null

encodeBase64

public static String encodeBase64(byte[] bytes)

Provides Base64 encoding of the data. This Base64 encoding does not insert end-of-line characters (but can properly decode strings with EOLs inserted).

Parameters:

bytes - data to be encoded

Returns:

data encoded as Base64 string

decodeBase64

public static byte[] decodeBase64(String string)

Provides decoding of Base64-encoded string

Parameters:

string - data encoded as Base64

Returns:

decoded data
