String Encoding Textview.settext()

while setting text in a TextView, the character 'ù' isn't correctly interpreted. This is my code: TextView tv = new TextView(context); String s; byte[] bytes; s = 'dgseùeT41ù';

Solution 1:

You have used "ISO-8859-1" but java uses by default UTF-8 so either define the charset while creating string

From docs

Case mapping is based on the Unicode Standard version specified by the Character class and A String represents a string in the UTF-16 format

so

bytes = s.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
tv.setText(newString(bytes,"ISO-8859-1"));

or don't use it at all

bytes = s.getBytes();
tv.setText(newString(bytes));
