HttpUtils PostString response encoding?

[Penko]

Hello there.

I am using PostString to initiate a POST query and parse the response. It is html but I can't find a way to get it with the proper encoding.

The page I am parsing uses windows-1251 while Android is UTF8 natively. I am using the html in a WebView but the texts are "???????????????" as I said.

I tried to change HttpUtils GetBytes to "Windows-1251" but it didn't help.

I guess that the problem is actually in the response. If it is not UTF8 then you cannot use HttpUtils.GetString.

You can use this code to read non-UTF8 strings:

Dim tr As TextReader
tr.Initialize2(HttpUtils.GetInputStream, "Windows-1251")
Dim s As String
s = tr.ReadAll

That did the trick, thanks!
