Public key binding in my application

Question

I am attaching a public key in my application as part of security measures because I extracted the public key from my PEM certificate, which looks like

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MIIBIj....IDAQAB
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----

However, in the OWASP code example, we see code for comparing the DER public key,

// DER encoded public key
private static String PUB_KEY = "30820122300d06092a864886f70d0101"
+ "0105000382010f003082010a0282010100b35ea8adaf4cb6db86068a836f3c85"
+ "5a545b1f0cc8afb19e38213bac4d55c3f2f19df6dee82ead67f70a990131b6bc"
+ "ac1a9116acc883862f00593199df19ce027c8eaaae8e3121f7f329219464e657"
+ "2cbf66e8e229eac2992dd795c4f23df0fe72b6ceef457eba0b9029619e0395b8"
+ "609851849dd6214589a2ceba4f7a7dcceb7ab2a6b60c27c69317bd7ab2135f50"
+ "c6317e5dbfb9d1e55936e4109b7b911450c746fe0d5d07165b6b23ada7700b00"
+ "33238c858ad179a82459c4718019c111b4ef7be53e5972e06ca68a112406da38"
+ "cf60d2f4fda4d1cd52f1da9fd6104d91a34455cd7b328b02525320a35253147b"
+ "e0b7a5bc860966dc84f10d723ce7eed5430203010001";

I know DER is a binary format, but not sure how the author converted or extracted the above format? when I convert to DER, it has raw bytes, not similar to the format above. Does anyone have a pointer to this?

An alternative approach could be, example code,

//Hack ahead: BigInteger and toString(). We know a DER encoded Public Key begins
//with 0x30 (ASN.1 SEQUENCE and CONSTRUCTED), so there is no leading 0x00 to drop.
RSAPublicKey pubkey = (RSAPublicKey) chain[0].getPublicKey();
String enc

oded = new BigInteger(1 /* positive */, pubkey.getEncoded()).toString(16);

If I convert the "encoded" base64 PEM format with a public key. How to do it in Android?

Any help would be appreciated

:

String base64Encoded = Base64.encodeToString(pubkey.getEncoded(), Base64.DEFAULT).
    replaceAll("\n", "");
