    <p>I'm working on an app which is in the multilanguage. I'm getting the data in XML form. I used SAX parser for parsing xml files and display the data in the TextView. Everything is working fine even the special-characters display fine but the issue is only with apostrophe symbol.</p> <p>Also this ⛦ symbol is not showing in the XML file normally until when i view the view source of the XML file in Mozilla Firefox Browser.</p> <p>This is my XML which I got through the URL Link. This XML has utf-8 encoding.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;posts&gt; &lt;page id="001"&gt; &lt;title&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Mikes love for Chocolate shake is increasing day by day. ]]&gt;&lt;/title&gt; &lt;detial&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Durch enge Beziehungen mit unseren Lieferanten können wir attraktive rückläufig Preise und schnelle Lieferungen gewährleisten. Caroline Féry and Laura Herbst Universität Potsdam Mein Flugzeug hatte zwölf Stunden VERSPÄTUNG &lt;/p&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/detial&gt; &lt;/page&gt; &lt;/posts&gt; </code></pre> <p>I used SAX parser for parsing this XML:- (and displaying the parsed data in the TextView.)</p> <pre><code>public class GermanParseActivity extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ static final String URL = "http://www.xyz.com/id=1"; ItemList itemList; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); XMLParser parser = new XMLParser(); String XML = parser.getXmlFromUrl(URL); String output = null; try { output = new String(XML.getBytes("8859_1"), "utf-8"); } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e1) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e1.printStackTrace(); } System.out.println("This XML is ========&gt;"+XML); try { SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance(); SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser(); XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader(); /** Create handler to handle XML Tags ( extends DefaultHandler ) */ MyXMLHandler myXMLHandler = new MyXMLHandler(); xr.setContentHandler(myXMLHandler); ByteArrayInputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(XML.getBytes()); xr.parse(new InputSource(is)); } catch(Exception e) { } itemList = MyXMLHandler.itemList; ArrayList&lt;String&gt; listItem= itemList.getTitle(); ListView lview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview1); myAdapter adapter = new myAdapter(this, listItem); lview.setAdapter(adapter); } } </code></pre> <p>but after parsing I'm getting strange characters in place of apostrophe (') symbol</p> <p>Like these characters:</p> <p>Actual Sentence is :-</p> <blockquote> <p>Mikes’ love for Chocolate shake is increasing day by day.</p> </blockquote> <p>After Parsing Sentence is:-</p> <blockquote> <p>Mikes⛦ love for Chocolate shake is increasing day by day.</p> </blockquote> <p>Can anyone suggest me the way to overcome this issue of apostrophe (') symbol.</p> <p>Thanks in Advance.</p>

    2. COWhat are you hoping to achieve with `new String(XML.getBytes("8859_1"), "utf-8")`? Retrieving the `String` as an array of bytes (using the iso-8859-1 (latin-1) character set) and then interpreting that byte array as utf-8, a variable-width character set encoding? At best it will produce the same string (if all characters in it are US-ASCII), at worst you will fill your string with garbage characters.

    3. COJens previously when i'm not using this code line i'm getting strange characters in German Language but after a search on this i used this line of code and getting the right special characters in German language because SAX parser at the time of parsing using their own encoding scheme. because the problem is that the text is UTF-8 but is interpreted as ISO-8859-1. That seems to be a bug of SAX parser.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
