Hello,
I want to read a value which is a struct on the real time side. If I read the datatype from within an android application it is represented as bytestring. How do I handle reading and writing the individual components of the bytestring in java?
Thanks a lot.

If the DataType Attribute is a ByteString then from OPC UA’s perspective it is just a series of bytes. It is a scalar type that consists of an array of bytes that can only be Read/Write completely not in parts (similarly as a String is in programming languages a series of characters). An OPC UA ByteString will map to byte[] in Java. Therefore it can be accessed like any other java array e.g. first element
byte[] bs = (byte[]) dv.getValue().getValue(); //assuming it is a ByteString
byte element0 = bs[0];
Please let me know if my interpretation of your question was wrong.

Hello Bjarne,
Thank you for responding. The cast indeed does the job. How about writing to this same NodeId with a bytestring?

Hi Bjarne,
I already figured it out 🙂
