如何在Android中将ASCII字符转换为字符串？

Question

I am loading a text to TextView but the problem is that the text is full of ASCII characters, so when the text is loaded to the TextView, I can't see anything or it shows me completly other character. For example instead of character "ó" a "?" within a black square is shown.

My question is, how can I convert an ASCII character to string?

Thanks for helping.

€ is not an Ascii character. Instead you probably are using Windows-1252 encoding on your source files, or similar. There the € is mapped to a character 128, which in Unicode is a control character.

Edit: as it is apparent, that the text is loaded from the internet, and nonmodifiable, and whatnot, then the following code could work:

InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(
        yourInputStream, "windows-1252"); 
        // or what ever seems to be the correct encoding!

StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

while (reader.ready())
{
    builder.append(reader.read());
}
reader.close();

String string = builder.toString();
