Encoding String to UTF-8 working with JSON in android
I have a problem with converting a String to UTF-8.
I have tried these approaches to converting, but the result is not correct:
String fname = new String(_fnameText.getText().toString().getBytes(UTF8));String fname = URLEncoder.encode(_fnameText.getText().toString(),"UTF8");
The result for the first one is like : ?????? ??????
The result for the second one is like : %30%D%40.....
How can I convert a String to UTF-8 ?
This is my code :
public void signup() {
String name;
String fname;
String lname;
String password;
final Charset UTF8=Charset.forName("utf-8");
name = new String();
fname = new String(_fnameText.getText().toString().getBytes(UTF8));
lname = new String(_lnameText.getText().toString().getBytes(UTF8));
password = new String(_passwordText.getText().toString().getBytes(UTF8));
// TODO: Implement your own signup logic here.
if(name!=null && fname!=null && lname!=null && password!=null) {
if (isConnected()) {
if (validate()) {
_signupButton.setEnabled(false);
jsonSignup = new JSON_Signup(SignupActivity.this, "http://teroject.com/api/android.php", name, password);
jsonSignup.valuesForServer.add(new BasicNameValuePair("api_key", "teroapi_php_java_1395"));
jsonSignup.valuesForServer.add(new BasicNameValuePair("api_function", "register"));
jsonSignup.valuesForServer.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", name));
jsonSignup.valuesForServer.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", password));
jsonSignup.valuesForServer.add(new BasicNameValuePair("fname", fname));
jsonSignup.valuesForServer.add(new BasicNameValuePair("lname", lname));
jsonSignup.execute();
}
}
}else {

The correct way to convert a String to UTF-8 is to call getBytes() by itself:
byte[] fname = _fnameText.getText().toString().getBytes(UTF8);
You are doing that fine, but then you are doing other things with that output that are not fine.
Your first example is wrong because you are converting the UTF-8 bytes back to a String using Java's default charset, which is clearly not UTF-8 on your system.
Your second example is wrong because you are manually URL-encoding the UTF-8 bytes at the wrong stage of your HTTP logic.
You should not be converting your individual input strings to UTF-8 at all. Build up your HTTP request values as needed, and then let UrlEncodedFormEntity handle the conversion to UTF-8 when posting over HTTP. UrlEncodedFormEntity() has two constructors, one of which takes an encoding as an input parameter, but you are not using that constructor.
Try something more like this:
public void signup() {
String name = new String();
String fname = _fnameText.getText().toString();
String lname = _lnameText.getText().toString();
String password = _passwordText.getText().toString();
// TODO: Implement your own signup logic here.
if(name!=null && fname!=null && lname!=null && password!=null) {
if (isConnected()) {
if (validate()) {
_signupButton.setEnabled(false);
jsonSignup = new JSON_Signup(SignupActivity.this, "http://teroject.com/api/android.php", name, password);
jsonSignup.valuesForServer.add(new BasicNameValuePair("api_key", "teroapi_php_java_1395"));
jsonSignup.valuesForServer.add(new BasicNameValuePair("api_function", "register"));
jsonSignup.valuesForServer.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", name));
jsonSignup.valuesForServer.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", password));
jsonSignup.valuesForServer.add(new BasicNameValuePair("fname", fname));
jsonSignup.valuesForServer.add(new BasicNameValuePair("lname", lname));
jsonSignup.execute();
}
}
