Well, then how do I do that? I've been trying different approaches but
I can't seem to get the text as a string with äåö. Do you now how I
can do that? (I should add that this thing with encodings isn't my
specialty).
It all depends on what you intend to do with the string. In a perfect
world you should just keep it in UTF-8 encoding for ever. There
certainly are ways to turn them into ISO variations, but if the text
contains the EURO sign, names of Greek people or similar it will break -
and if you ever want to show it on your Android screen again will have
to turn it back into UTF-8 again. So, my advice is to keep it as it is
and adjust whatever other system you are using it with to cope with
UTF-8. Sure, there will be a learning curve, but in the end you will
have a more robust system.
Good luck / Jonas
PS. Prisjakt is UTF-8 all the way through even though there are no
products I'm aware of that goes outside ISO8859-1.
