Android Question punycode/idn converter

[trepdas]

Hello Erel and all Good People,

I need a function that can convert one string to another.
punycode (i.e. : 'שלום' to idn ( i.e. : 'xn--9dbne9b')
and vise verse - idn to punycode.

an online converter (for the example) can be found here.

Punycode is a special encoding used to convert Unicode characters to ASCII, which is a smaller, restricted character set. Punycode is used to encode internationalized domain names (IDN).

thanks

You already posted it in wishes forum, why are you making duplicate posts?

1. No link
2. You need to write a wrapper with java for it.
3. Alternatively you can create a thread in the JobOffer Forum and hire someone who do the job for you.

    Dim s As String = ToACE("שלום")
    Log(s)
    Log(FromACE(s))

Sub ToACE (s As String) As String
    Dim jo As JavaObject
    jo.InitializeStatic("java.net.IDN")
    Return jo.RunMethod("toASCII", Array(s))
End Sub

Sub FromACE (s As String) As String
    Dim jo As JavaObject
    jo.InitializeStatic("java.net.IDN")
    Return jo.RunMethod("toUnicode", Array(s))
End Sub

Thats a good one from @Erel

I also had time to scrap punycode.com website for you using minihtmlparser

Wait For (punycodeEncode("שלום")) Complete(result As String)
    Log(result)

Sub punycodeEncode(text As String) As ResumableSub
    Dim url As String = "https://www.punycoder.com/ajax-calls/punycoder/"
    Dim ok As HttpJob
    
    Dim data As String = $"submitButton=encode&Decoded=${text}"$
    
    ok.Initialize("ok",Me)
    ok.PostString(url,data)
    ok.GetRequest.SetHeader("Referer", "https://www.punycoder.com/")
    
    Wait For Jobdone (ok As HttpJob)
    
    If ok.Success Then
        Dim res As String
        res = ok.GetString
        
        '-----------------process result-------------------
        Dim parser As MiniHtmlParser
        parser.Initialize
        Dim root As HtmlNode = parser.Parse(res)
        Dim encoded_id As HtmlNode = parser.FindNode(root,"textarea",parser.CreateHtmlAttribute("id","Encoded"))
        Dim result As String = parser.GetTextFromNode(encoded_id,0)   
        
    End If
    ok.Release
    
    Return result
    
End Sub
