Hex to Binary Converter Help
This code is for a GUI Java program that is supposed to convert back and fourth between two numbering systems. For example, binary to decimal or decimal to binary. I have created methods for some of the conversions however, I could successfully develop a method to convert from hex to binary. If you plan to run it to see what happens to the current method that I made please know that in the GUI the north end from left to right is as follows. The textfield is for user entry of any type of data. The first combobox is for the user specifying to the program what type of data he or she entered. The second combobox is for the user to choose what he wants that data converted to. The button is to convert it. The south side has a textarea that gives out the results. Please note that only some of the conversions work so far. There are comments in the code to label which methods do what converisons. Please help me find a method that will convert from hex to binary or please tell me what is wrong with the current method. For more information, please just question me with a post. Thanks guys.
