I don't have an actual answer for you, but I ran into the same issue where I was trying to parse a server response string delimited by the pipe and it failed miserably, as you've seen. The asterisk "*" was also a problem if I recall correctly. I didn't investigate too thoroughly, but I think these (and probably others) might be special characters in the split logic for regex stuff, but that's just a guess. If you have control over the server, I'd say just use a different delimiter. If you don't, you can do what I did and first replace the offending character with something else you know will not exist in the string and split on that. Lame, but it works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
