How to read public/private key files for encryption when they are Base64?

I'm trying to learn RSA public/private key-pair encryption in Java.
I have the code below working. It generates a private & public key pair, writes the keys to disk, encrypts the string with the public key from disk, the decrypts with the private key from disk, and then it outputs the decrypted string.
All works great.
The next thing is, I want the key files to be the readable "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----" type of key files ... so I wrote the method saveKeysToDiskBase64.
The problem is, when I write the files using saveKeysToDiskBase64, the methods that read the key files fail. That is loadPrivateKey and loadPublicKey can't read the Base64 files.
What am I missing?
public class EncryptionTest1 {
public void execute() throws Exception {
String filename = "test1";
KeyPair keyPair = EncryptionUtil.generateKeyPair();
EncryptionUtil.saveKeysToDisk(filename, keyPair);
// EncryptionUtil.saveKeysToDiskBase64(filename, keyPair);
String pvtKeyFilename = filename+".key";
String pubKeyFilename = filename+".pub";
PrivateKey privateKey = EncryptionUtil.loadPrivateKey(pvtKeyFilename);
byte[] bPrivateKey = privateKey.getEncoded();
PublicKey publicKey = EncryptionUtil.loadPublicKey(pubKeyFilename);
byte[] bPublicKey = publicKey.getEncoded();
String sOriginal = "hi this is plain text";
byte[] encryptedData = EncryptionUtil.encrypt(bPublicKey, sOriginal.getBytes());
byte[] decryptedData = EncryptionUtil.decrypt(bPrivateKey, encryptedData);
String sEncrypted = new String(encryptedData);
String sDecrypted = new String(decryptedData);
System.out.println("sOriginal = "+sOriginal);
System.out.println("sEncrypted = "+sEncrypted);
System.out.println("sDecryptedData = "+sDecrypted);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
new EncryptionTest1().execute();

Great thanks to #President James K. Polk who gave me the correct answer in a comment.
Here is the Base64 related code that that worked for me ...
private static String PRIVATE_HEADER = "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n";

Writer out = new FileWriter(privateFileName);

Also, if I try printing the private key as :

I get the following :

While I was expecting the PKCS#8 formatted key to be printed. How do i get the key printed in the PKCS#8 format ?
And why am i getting the padding error as shown above ?

byte[] original = cipher.doFinal(encrypted.getBytes());
remove Base64.decodeBase64 from both encrypt and decrypt methods
if you want to convert key to string then use
String keyString= Base64.encodeBase64String(key.getEncoded());

When encoding and decoding is done along with encrypt and decrypt the order must be
Encryption
cipher.doFinal(Base64.encodeBase64(message.getBytes()));
Decryption
Base64.decodeBase64(cipher.doFinal(cipher.getBytes()));

Im trying to decrypt the encrypted xml file. Im getting it as a inputstream as follows.I have the correct encrypt key. but each time my program returns empty string. Every time i enter the correct key. but each time it returns Badpadding Exception.

I am sorry I couldn't comment so I am writing in answers section.
I faced this issue when I was using different keys though I was passing the same but i used CBC methodology.
Just to note that have you checked that encryption is also done by the AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding and not other format like AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding
Also check if key format for encryption is also having the same format like %016d of your keyValue. Also the key is 16 char long.
I created a simple AES and DESede encryption utility and it worked fine.
