Byte[] to String java 1.5

Question

I am trying the below code :-

private Charset charset = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
String decryptedtext = new String(decryptedValue, charset);

where decryptedValue is of type byte[] but the above code is not working for java 1.5 version. I am getting the error as below :-

> ERROR: symbol : constructor String(byte[],java.nio.charset.Charset)
> ERROR: location: class java.lang.String
> ERROR: String decryptedtext = new String(decryptedValue, charset); 
> ERROR: ^

Can anyone help me on this ?

Apologies in advance if this is a repetitive or duplicate question.

You should not use such an old java version. It is outdated since many years — Jens

There is no String(byte[], Charset) constructor in Java 5. You can only use String(byte[], String). Then your code should look like:

String s = new String(decryptedValue, "UTF-8");
