匹配特殊字符的单词

Question

I am using AndroidStudio for developing an app. My App reads a text from the internet and AndroidStudio shows me the text (//)

String mytext = getText();   // mytext = "unité"

I try to find a match with the word "unité", but I don't succeed.

when

String wordToCompare = "unité";  // wordToCompare = "unité"

if (mytext.equals(wordToCompare)){
    System.out.println("matched !");
}else{
    System.out.println("no match !");
}

it will go to "no match !", because "unité" != "unité"

How can I set the String variable wordToCompare , so it will match ?

Answer 1

I solved my problem by just switching the file to "ISO-8859-1".

We can see the encoding-characterset in the bottom of AndroidStudio and there we can also switch to ohter charactersets. After switching AndroidStudio asks to reload or convert. After converting the file is stored as "ISO-8859-1".

AndroidStudio will change the specific file and ".idea/encodings.xml".

Now it works.
