Android due to simple byte on String operation

Question

Why does the following code crash my Android app?

new String("é".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8), "UTF8") 

or simply

 new String("é".getBytes()) 

How to do it?

Some information:

• "é" is byte (195 169) (U + 00E9) (found here: http://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?utf8=dec )
• the byte in java is always signed, so (195 169) is (-61 -87) (Info: Convert unsigned byte to signed byte )
• I am using Android 6.0.1 CM 13.0-20160813 NIGHT on my OnePlus One. He crashed instantly. Even if I write it to the Android Studio debugger.
• This does not work if I use "StandardCharsets.UTF_8"

------- EDIT:

This only happens in my Android Studio debugger! Therefore, when I use it as a watch or "evaluate expression". But when I do this in code and then Log.d (...), it works fine !!! Android Studio 2.1.3

I created a problem with Android Studio for this: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=220366

Answer 1

 new String("é".getBytes()) 

It works great for me. I tested it with android min API 14. Please check if this can happen on any other problem.
