I want to set a UTF-8 Encoding to a MultipartEntity object or to StringBody object. Is there any way to do it? I know how to set the Charset but not the Encoding.
Thank you.
This is from an anddev.org post at this link, but is currently down, so I have pasted the snippet below. I haven't tried this code, but I hope it helps.
MultipartEntity multipart = new MultipartEntity();
File file = new File("/filepath"); // File with some location (filepath)
Charset chars = Charset.forName("UTF-8"); // Setting up the encoding
FileBody fileB = new FileBody(file); // Create a new FileBody with the above mentioned file
multipart.addPart("data", fileB); // Add the part to my MultipartEntity. "data" is parameter name for the file
StringBody stringB; // Now lets add some extra information in a StringBody
try {
stringB = new StringBody("I am the caption of the file",chars); // Adding the content to the StringBody and setting up the encoding
multipart.addPart("caption", stringB); // Add the part to my MultipartEntity
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url); // Setting up a HTTP Post method with the target url
post.setEntity(multipart); // Setting the multipart Entity to the post method
HttpResponse resp = client.execute(post); // Using some HttpClient (I'm using DefaultHttpClient) to execute the post method and receive the response
