Does the Xtend language support binary conversion

[Andrew_Huxtable (Drew)]

Hi all, I have looked everywhere but I can not find an answer to this.

I have a single byte HEX value that I want to convert to binary (to read individual bits) is this possible with Xtend?

You can certainly use Integer.bitwiseAnd() and Integer bitwiseOr() to manipulate bits

[Solved] Binary Operations in Rules

I suspect the single pipe is breaking everything. Did you intend || for OR? That would always return true though. Unfortunately this is not Java, rules are written in a OH specific version of Xtend. Mostly very like Java. But distinctly quirky so far as handling Numbers bitwise goes. Googling for OpenHAB bitwise throws up tidbits worth reading, example https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/openhab/z4cYibhnoHc

Are you saying you have a HEX character that you want to convert to an integer? If so, you can do that with:

var n = Integer::parseInt(hexchar, 16)

You can then use bitwise operations to check bits in the integer.
