How to convert an array of bytes to a hex string in Scala

If you need to convert an array of bytes to a hex string in Scala, I can confirm that this code works:

def convertBytesToHex(bytes: Seq[Byte]): String = {
    val sb = new StringBuilder
    for (b <- bytes) {
        sb.append(String.format("%02x", Byte.box(b)))
    }
    sb.toString
}

I just used this code as part of a checksum algorithm (SHA-1, SHA-256, etc.), and I tested it against command line checksum commands to verify that it works properly.

Technically this code can convert any sort of sequence of bytes in Scala into a hex string, including a Seq, List, Vector, Array, etc.
