Get Contents Of Textbox As Byte Array?

I'm using the following code to encrypt a String (inText) whose output is a byte array named cipherText;

Code:
byte[] cipherText;
cipherText=cipher.doFinal(inText.getBytes());
The cipherText is printed in a textbox as follows:

Code:
encText.setText(new String(cipherText));

Everything works fine until here. However, in the decryption section, I need to get the contents of the textbox as a byte array again. For this purpose, I use the following code:

Code:
byte[] cText;
cText=encText.getText().toString().getBytes();

When I try to do the encryption it gives a 'bad size' error. I found out that the lenghts of the two byte arrays cipherText and cText aren't equal:

Code:
decText.setText(Integer.toString(cText.length));
encText.setText(Integer.toString(cipherText.length));
boolean res=Arrays.equals(cText, cipherText);
result.setText(Boolean.toString(res));

The 'result' textbox always prints 'false' meaning that the two byte arrays cipherText and cText aren't equal. However I convert cipherText to a String to print in a textbox and then read the contents of that textbox, convert to String back and then to Byte Aray again. Obviously some data is lost during these conversions.
