SHA256 Hash the Bytes Represented in a Hex String

Demonstrates how to compute the SHA256 hash of the bytes represented by a hexidecimal encoded string, and return the hash bytes as an hex encoded string. Android™

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.

    //  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  We wish to compute the SHA256 hash of the bytes 0x6C 0xF8 0xEA 0x51 0xE4 0xE0 0xF5 0x99 0xCF ...

    CkBinData bd = new CkBinData();
    success = bd.AppendEncoded(src,"hex");

    //  The bd now contains the bytes 0x6C 0xF8 0xEA 0x51 0xE4 0xE0 0xF5 0x99 0xCF ...
