hex to char conversion problem...

hello,

I have a a following piece of code, where I am trying to conver 0x72 to character 'r' :

String hexStr ="0x72";

String charString =new Character((char)Integer.parseInt(hexStr, 16)).toString();

I am getting following exception:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string:"0x72"

at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)

Am I doing something wrong?

Any help will be appreciated...

Thanks!
