See the example here.

However - even if that functionality were not built in, parsing a hex number
should be trivial with a simple for loop. Perhaps you should write it for
practice.
Something like this perhaps

(note - I have not compiled or tested this)
int parseHex(String x){
int ret = 0;
for(char c : x.toCharArray()){
ret*=16;
if(c>='a'&&c<='f')
ret+=c-'a'+10;
if(c>='A'&&c<='F')
ret+=c-'A'+10;
if(c>='0'&&c<='9')
ret+=c-'0';
else
return 0; //error handling?
}
return ret;
}
