P Penko Active Member Licensed User Longtime User May 23, 2012 #1 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.

You can use this code to read non-UTF8 strings: Code: Copy Dim tr As TextReader tr.Initialize2(HttpUtils.GetInputStream, "Windows-1251") Dim s As String s = tr.ReadAll Upvote 0
