I am switching to translating one of my applications into Spanish and I have a problem with character encoding with a raw HTML file that I embed in a WebView. I have a Spanish translation of the file into the raw-es folder, and I read it with the following function:
private CharSequence getHtmlText(Activity activity) {
BufferedReader in = null;
try {
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.help), "utf-8"));
String line;
StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) buffer.append(line).append('\n');
return buffer;
} catch (IOException e) {
return "";
} finally {
closeStream(in);
}
}
But everywhere in the file there is a Spanish symbol, there is a diamond with a question mark inside it when I launch the application, and look at the activity that displays the HTML. To load text into a WebView, I use the following:
mWebView.loadData(text, "text/html", "utf-8");
I originally created the file in Microsoft Word, so I'm sure that a character encoding problem is occurring, but I'm not sure how to fix it, and a Google search does not help. Any ideas?
