title: Changing String to byte[] - without actual converting
body: <p>I have String:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String str = "KITTEN";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I would like to make a byte[] from it, but just:</p>
  
  <pre><code>byte[] mybyte = new byte[] { 'K', 'I', 'T', 'T', 'E', 'N'}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Anyone knows how to change String to that byte[]? Everything what I can find is about actual converting - please note that I don't want to have hex representation of string.</p>
  
  <p>PS. Title of question may be wrong - I'm sorry for that, didn't know how to write it.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <pre><code>byte[] myBytes = str.getBytes();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Displaying: </p>
  
  <pre><code>byte[] display = new byte[] { 0x00, 0, 0, 'K', 'I', 'T'}; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>works, and displaying:   </p>
  
  <pre><code>byte[] display = new byte[] {  0x00, 0, 0, myBytes[0], myBytes[1], myBytes[2] }; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>doesn't work. 
  I try to display it on the screen of my device connected to the android phone by NFC. Do you know what's make the problem?</p>
