Adding to a byte array

What's the easiest way to append a few extra byte values to the end of an
existing byte array? Do I have to create a new larger array and copy the old
contents one by one using a for() loop?

Yes

You can use
System.arraycopy(oldArray, 0, newArray, 0, oldArray.length);
instead.
