List <Byte> to String, can you help reorganize this (small) method?

Question

We use this method of little utility. But we do not like it. Since this is not very important (it still works ...), we forgot it.
But this is ugly, because we need to go through the entire array, only to convert from Byte[]to Byte[].
I'm looking for:

• to pass Byte[]in Byte[]without going through it
• or for a utility method to add a list to a string

public static String byteListToString(List<Byte> l, Charset charset) {
    if (l == null) {
        return "";
    }
    byte[] array = new byte[l.size()];
    int i = 0;
    for (Byte current : l) {
        array[i] = current;
        i++;
    }
    return new String(array, charset);
}

Answer 2

import org.apache.commons.lang.ArrayUtils;

...

Byte[] bytes = new Byte[l.size()];
l.toArray(bytes);

byte[] b =  ArrayUtils.toPrimitive(bytes);

StringBuilder:

public static String byteListToString(List<Byte> l) {
    if (l == null) {
        return "" ;
    }
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(l.size());

    for (Byte current : l) {
        sb.append((char)current);
    }

    return sb.toString();
}

,

public static String byteListToString(List<Byte> l) {
    if (l == null) {
        return "" ;
    }
    ByteArrayOutputStream bout = new ByteArrayOutputStream(l.size());

    for (Byte current : l) {
        bout.write(current);
    }

    return bout.toString("UTF-8");
}

Take a look at the BitConverter class, I think it does what you want. Use it in combination with the List.toArray () method.
