Mehdi Satei :
I have a String which I am getting from API (no control over it). When the String contains a special character like an apostrophe, it will be converted to something else.
It looks something like this:
text_view.text = "Hannah's Law"
When displayed on Android, it will be:
Hannah's Law
I tried to convert the String to byteArray and then encode to UTF-8 but no luck:
val byteArray = template.execute(bindingDictionary).toByteArray() // This is the Actual String
String(byteArray,Charsets.UTF_8) // Did not work
kotlin_aj :
'
is HTML for the apostrophe. You can use fromHtml to convert that to text with the apostrophe.
val fromApi = "Hannah's Law"
val textFromHtmlFromApi = HtmlCompat.fromHtml(fromApi, HtmlCompat.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY)
text_view.text = textFromHtmlFromApi
