Bits to BigInteger

Hi friends!,

I want to convert a bit set in a BigInteger. I have tried with a byte array but I have the following problem:

BigInteger a = new BigInteger(new byte[]{127});

!That is good!, because when I print my BigInteger the value is 127.

BigInteger a = new BigInteger(new byte[]{1,127});

That is wrong because my BigInteger print 383, that is equivalent to 101111111. The BigInteger put the sign bit (from 127) in my BigInteger.

I was waiting 255. That is equivalent to 11111111

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance.
