The constructor for a Byte does not take an integer value but a String value instead. See below.

Byte b = new Byte("1");

Actually there are two constructors:

1.  Byte(byte value) 

2.  Byte(String s)

Example of each:

public class ByteTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        byte aByte = 1;

        Byte byte1 = new Byte( aByte );

        System.out.println( byte1 );



        String strByte = "1";

        Byte byte2 = new Byte( strByte);

        System.out.println( byte2 );

    }

}

So to answer your question, you could create a Byte from an integer with a simple cast like so:

Byte b = new Byte( (byte)1 ) );
