Encoding in Android TextView

Question

I'm new in Android.
When using Json Parsing, I have a problem with display text(maybe cause by font, I don't know).
This is my Json return:

{"Response":[{"Id":829,"Name":"Tiền không đem lại hạnh phúc nhưng...","ShortDescription":"Một tỷ phú tâm sự với bạn,...  

But when I parse in TextView in android, the "Name" become:

 "Ti�n không đem lại hạnh phúc nhưng..."

This text is in Vietnamese. How can I fix it?

Answer 1

I fixed it. My problem is UTF-8 charset.

String name = "";
try {
    name = new String(c.getString("NAME").getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {

    e.printStackTrace();
}

String decodedName = Html.fromHtml(name).toString();

Answer 2

Use a webView to display text like this:

myWebView.loadData(myHtmlString, "text/html; charset=UTF-8", null);

Answer 3

The problem you are getting actually encoding. So the json string you are getting from your response need to add a proper encoding format. So just do like this.

Whlie posting a json use like this

StringEntity strEntity = new StringEntity(Your_json_string, HTTP.UTF_8);

While getting the json object use like this

    if (statuscode == HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
        String responseStr = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity(), HTTP.UTF_8);
