How to construct Huffman Tree from preorder scan?

I'm a little confused about how to build a Huffman tree from a preorder scan. I encoded my header similar to how it was explained here



But I'm not entirely sure how to read the scan and build the tree, my scan looks like this



01a001c1b001f1e1d# (the hashtag is for breaking out of the loop)



This is my attempt to build the tree, though it's not quite right



 HuffmanNode rootTest=new HuffmanNode((byte)preOrderString.charAt(0));
Stack<HuffmanNode> s = new Stack<HuffmanNode>();
HuffmanNode current=rootTest;
root=current;
s.push(current);
for(int i=1;i<preOrderString.length();i++) {
if(preOrderString.charAt(i)=='0') {
HuffmanNode next=new HuffmanNode((byte)preOrderString.charAt(i));
if(current.left==null)
current.left=next;
else
current.right=next;
current=next;
System.out.println(current);
s.push(current);
}
if(preOrderString.charAt(i)=='1') {
i++;
if(current.left==null) {
current.left=new HuffmanNode((byte)preOrderString.charAt(i));
System.out.println("left "+current.left);
}
else if(current.right==null){
current.right=new HuffmanNode((byte)preOrderString.charAt(i));
System.out.println("right "+current.right);
}
while(!s.isEmpty()) {
current=s.pop();
}
}
}
