Android Question Special Latin Characters in PostString

[Chianca]

Hello, I'm using httputils to post data from Android to an Asp.net web service.

It's working normally, but when I have special characters in my string, on when the web service receive the data, special characters were modified to ????.

Exemple:

                        ContentSend = ContentSend.Replace("$LAT$",Lat)
                        ContentSend= ContentSend.Replace("$LON$",Lon)
                        ContentSend= ContentSend.Replace("$CONTENT$","Localização")
                       
                        JobAtual.PostString(WS_Address,ContentSend)
                        JobAtual.GetRequest.SetContentType("text/xml")
                        JobAtual.GetRequest.SetContentEncoding("application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8")

In this code, when I post this string (ContentSend), the server receive the word "Localização" as "Localiza????o".


What can I do to fix this problem?

try to change

JobAtual.PostString(WS_Address,ContentSend)

to

JobAtual.PostString(WS_Address,ContentSend.GetBytes("utf-8"))

 

[Chianca]

try to change

to

JobAtual.PostString(WS_Address,ContentSend.GetBytes("utf-8"))

Not worked...

I get this error when try to compile:

java:221: error: no suitable method found for NumberToString(byte[])

the server receive the word "Localização" as "Localiza????o".

Could it work using EncodeUrl from the StringUtils library ? Of course you would have to UrlDecode on your server

PostString expects a string. Not an array of bytes.

You need to use PostBytes instead.

Your server uses an encoding other than UTF8 (which is the default). Try Windows-1255.
