    <p>In my Android application I create a TSV file and I send it via e-mail. When I try to open it using Excel it detects it as ANSI, so some of my characters aren't seen as they should. I have another application not created by me that does the same, but Excel detects it as UTF-8. I've checked the HEX code of both files and I found that he uses C2 A0 in some of his spaces (not tabs), while I use 20.</p> <p>This is the code I use to create the file:</p> <pre><code> FileOutputStream writeFileHandler = context.openFileOutput(LOG_FILENAME_CSV, Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE); OutputStreamWriter oputStreamWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(writeFileHandler, "UTF-8"); for(int i=log_rows.length-1; i&gt;=0; i--){ String[] entries = getDailyLogEntries(log_rows[i]); // array of your values for(int j=0; j&lt;entries.length; j++){ if(j==0) oputStreamWriter.write(entries[j]); else{ if(entries[j] != null) oputStreamWriter.write("\t"+entries[j]); } } oputStreamWriter.write("\n"); } oputStreamWriter.flush(); oputStreamWriter.close(); writeFileHandler.close(); </code></pre> <p>I tried to pull the file using DDMS to avoid the e-mail sending and the result is the same, it's detected as ANSI. How can I do it so Excel detects it as UTF-8?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

    2. COSorry, the right code is using UTF-8, I just used ANSI to check if that way it worked, but Android doesn't have ANSI charset name so I get an exception. I edited the post.

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.
