Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Prepare the nonresident HI return first.   That way, when you prepare your resident CA return, TurboTax can capture the taxes paid to HI to enter as a credit on your CA return - to avoid the double taxation.    Both CA and HI are going to tax you, but you will get credit for the tax paid to HI on the CA return.
