Well, all I want to is to send the string forward in an xml string. The flow is like this:
User fills in a couple of forms (EditText) and presses a button. The values is added into an xml string and posted. The thing is when I print the values in the Log cat, it looks weired. And the the result on the receiving end is ??? (all åäö becomes question marks). So what I want to do is simply send the values as utf-8 in the xml string. That's it. So I agree with you, I should keep it as UTF-8. But I'm not following you on what I am able to do? /J On May 4, 8:33 pm, "Jonas Petersson" <[email protected]> wrote: > jw wrote: > > Well, then how do I do that?
