Android TextView displays strange text

Question

I have written an application where I need to show in a TexView text coming from the server. I am experiencing a strange behavior when the text is set on the TextView .

For example, I am receiving "español" from server but the Textview display "espacol" is there a way to fix the encoding or perhaps display "spannish" without mapping the texts in the application.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can use String.format() with Locale what you want.

For example;

String text = String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "%d", item.getText());
textView.setText(text);
