Problem downloading multiple images in bytearray, Help !

Question

Hi Everyone,
I m trying to download multiple images on my mobile as a part of my application.
On server side I have used System.arraycopy to merge arrays..
What I did on server side is as follows:
byte[] seperator={'%'};
totalImageArray=image1+seperator+image2
Please note everything is in bytearray.
Now on client side I m not able to extract two images seperately i.e. bytes before seperator and after seperator.
how do i do byte to byte comparison ?
Please guide me as to how I should do this..tips links snippet...??

Wht dont you send images seperate...
For example first write the size of first image as bytes and than write the first image. Then write the size of second image as bytes and than write the second image.
In the client side first read the first number and then read as many as that bytes then create first image. Then read the second number and then read as many as that bytes then create second image.
Server Side...
DataOutputStream toClient = new DataOutputStream (....);
toClient.writeInt(...); //send the sizeof first image as bytes
toClient.write(...);  //send the first image as byte array
toClient.writeInt(...); //send the sizeof second image as bytes
toClient.write(...);  //send the first second as byte array
toClient.flush();Client Side...
DataInputStream fromServer= new DataInputStream (....);
int firstsize=fromServer.readInt(); //read the sizeof first image as bytes
byte[] image1data=new byte[firstsize]; //image1 buffer
fromServer.readFully(image1data);  //read the first image as byte array
int secondsize=fromServer.readInt(); //read the sizeof second image as bytes
byte[] image2data=new byte[secondsize]; //image2 buffer
fromServer.readFully(image2data);  //read the second image as byte array
