Thanks for your reply.
yes this is a java.lang.String. Indeed all i want to do is to correctly
display the string in some View.
Ok i got the point about java String being 16 bits. If so, and as it is not
well displayed, i guess this means it was not properly created at first.
Maybe this issue is more related to my (bad) use of xerces when i initialize
the xerces XMLDocumentFilter object.
XMLParserConfiguration parser = new HTMLConfiguration();
parser.setDocumentHandler(filter); // filter is a
XMLDocumentFilter
XMLInputSource source = new XMLInputSource(null, null,
null,myHttpResponse.getEntity().getContent(), "iso-8859-1");
parser.parse(source);
I will check more in detail in xerces ressources, this probably is not an
Android related topic after all.
Thierry.
