here’s my problem, I am receiving a string from a soap Webservice which seems to contain UTF8 encoded %c3%89. This string is a URL i have to reach to get a picture that contains a part of the URL in it.

My problem is that the server generating the picture doesn’t recognize the %c3%89 encoding and thus doesn’t create the right . When replaced with it’s normal representation (i.e É) the server is generating the picture correctly.

My question is: How can i replace the encoded character in the string?

Ps: I don’t have access to the server side

here’s my code

URL aURL = new URL(URLDecoder.decode(url));
URLConnection conn = aURL.openConnection();
conn.connect();
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bis);

Thanks a lot 🙂

    I just realized that the URL was perfectly understood by the website when using earlier version of android (lets say before 2.2) I start to wonder what has changed in the urlconnection framework since that version… anyway i will try to pass through this problem by hosting the required picture on the webservice rather than returning the url.

    Thank you
