Hallo,
I'm reading from a URL class as shown here:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/urls/readingURL.html
however, if site is in cyrillic (or other non-english language) what i get is a lot of ? question marks, or sometimes other strange symbols. what should i do to display it correctly ?
thanks.
use the constructor for String (charsetName="UTF-8"):
String
public String(byte[] bytes,
String charsetName)
throws UnsupportedEncodingException
Constructs a new String by decoding the specified array of bytes using the specified charset. The length of the new String is a function of the charset, and hence may not be equal to the length of the byte array.
The behavior of this constructor when the given bytes are not valid in the given charset is unspecified. The CharsetDecoder class should be used when more control over the decoding process is required.
Parameters:
bytes - the bytes to be decoded into characters
charsetName - the name of a supported charset
Throws:
UnsupportedEncodingException - If the named charset is not supported
Since:
JDK1.1
