Android byte to string charset

Question

I have a problem with the charset convertion:

I have got messages from udp server and I get the data like this:

byte[] adress= new byte [42];

After I try to displayed to textview :

String str_adress= new String(adress,"UTF-8");

Instead of "ő" I got just "?"

How can I solve that?

Answer 1

The UTF-8 bytes for ő are c5 91 .

As

Log.v(TAG, new String(new byte[] { (byte) 0xc5, (byte) 0x91 }, "UTF-8"));

outputs

ő

I think you looked in the wrong place for the problem. It's coming from somewhere else, like reading the udp message maybe.
