Thank you very much.
1) I am not explicitly setting any unicode character code in the
TextView. I display data that exists within e-books that are stored in
epub format. I do not alter this data at all. I display it as is. Most
of this displays OK, but quotes look like the following garbage ...
2) Open double quote: a-circumflex
something similar to a Euro symbol
a scrunched together o-e
Close double quote: a-circumflex
something similar to a Euro symbol
question mark in a black diamond
3) I do not get the contents over the network. These are e-books in
epub format that already reside on my sdcard. The mojibake is rendered
perfectly (i.e., not as mojibake) by other e-readers such as Laputa,
Aldiko, FBReader, Laputa, Nook, Kindle, etc.
This is the code that reads the data from the epub file.
// this.file is a String which contains the pathname to the
// e-book on my sdcard.
// this.itemMap is a LinkedHashMap which holds the contents
// of each item in the e-book, keyed by the name of the item.
// It's initialized to null and instantiated via lazy
// evaluation.
// More extensive error handling will be added later.
private boolean readEpubFile() {
FileInputStream f = null;
ZipInputStream z = null;
try {
f = new FileInputStream(this.file);
z = new ZipInputStream(f);
ZipEntry ze;
while ((ze = z.getNextEntry()) != null) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int c = z.read(); c >= 0; c = z.read()) {
sb.append((char) c);
}
String name = ze.getName();
if (this.itemMap == null) {
this.itemMap = new LinkedHashMap<String,
String>();
}
this.itemMap.put(name, sb.toString());
}
}
catch (Throwable t) {
return (false);
}
finally {
try {
z.close();
}
catch (Throwable t) {
}
try {
f.close();
}
catch (Throwable t) {
}
}
return (true);
}
