Encode string to base32 string in Java

Question

Just like the title says, I am trying to encode a string "test" into base32 string "ORSXG5A=" in Java. All I find when searching online is classes that encodes from string to array with 32bits, but obviously that is not what I want. Sorry for this newbie question.

Accepted Answer

Apache commons-codec provides a `Base32` class that does just that

```
Base32 base32 = new Base32();
System.out.println(base32.encodeAsString("test".getBytes()));
```

prints

```
ORSXG5A=
```
