I have httpservice on android device. It forms response as html page to some browser. So it works fine but if I use other languages (for example Russian), server returns unreadable text instead of Russian symbols. I know that default encoding on Android is UTF-8. I've tried every encoding available on the Android (For example windows-1251, Big5(Chinese), UTF-16 and so on) but it returned wrong result at all. Here is some code which show you what I've tried to do:
@Override
public void handle(HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response, HttpContext httpContext) throws HttpException, IOException {
HttpEntity entity = new EntityTemplate(new ContentProducer() {
public void writeTo(final OutputStream outstream) throws IOException {
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(outstream, "windows-1251");
String resp = "<html><body>Hello Привет</body></html>";
StringEntity se = new StringEntity(resp, "windows-1251");
se.writeTo(outstream);
//writer.write(resp);
//writer.flush();
}
});
response.setHeader("Context-Type", "text/html");
response.setEntity(entity);
}
So in browser I see next:
Hello Привет
What do I wrong? Please, answer me. I'll appreciate for any suggestions. Thanks.
You may try using java.text.Normalizer or add <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=UTF-8" /> to your response.
Besides, I'd recommend you not to hardcode strings, but put them to resources and load them with Resources.getString(resId) instead - thus you would have potentially less problems with encodings.
