[java] Converting byte[] to integer (SOLVED)

Im reading a binary file and im having some problems. 41 00 BF 02 hex 65 0 191 2 dec 65 0 should give me int 65 but i get 16640 191 2 should give me int 7xx but i get -16638 int x (b[0] << 8 | b[1]) im getting really strange numbers and java byte is from -128 to 127 to the value 191 becomes -65.
