Android Question Send text over tcp?

[KL7000F]

Hello,

I am trying to send a command via a tcp socket. this command is received by the receiver (external device) as ansi text.

How can I implement this?

Private Sub send_button_Click
    If Astreams.IsInitialized = False Then Return
    If send_edit.Text.Length > 0 Then
        Dim sNewLine As String
        sNewLine = send_edit.text & Chr(13)
        Dim buffer() As Byte
        buffer = sNewLine.GetBytes("ANSI")
        Astreams.Write(buffer)
        
        ToastMessageShow("Sending:" & sNewLine,False)
        Log("Connect: send_button_Click | send: " & send_edit.Text)
    End If
End Sub

Greetings
KL

Hellobuffer = sNewLine.GetBytes("ANSI")

My first thought would be to use a listed encoding like:

"ISO-8859-1" = 8-bit 1:1 encoding
"windows-1252" = old most common web encoding
"UTF-8" = new most common web encoding (Char values > ASCII encode to more-than-one byte)

Dim bc As ByteConverter
    
Dim SE() As String = bc.SupportedEncodings
For Each E As String In SE
    Log(E)
Next

as ansi text.

Sure. YOU are setting the encoding to be ANSI in your code!?

buffer = sNewLine.GetBytes("ANSI")

Hi,

thank you very much. Yes, I used ANSI by mistake. Now it works - with "ISO-8859-1". Thanks for the tip.
But I had also initialized the stream with "InitializePrefix". That didn't work or caused errors. Now the connection works!
