I cannot read and write extended characters (French accented characters, for example) to a text file using the standard InputStreamReader methods shown in the Android API examples. When I read back the file using:
InputStreamReader tmp = new InputStreamReader(in);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(tmp);
String str;
while ((str = reader.readLine()) != null) {
...
the string read is truncated at the extended characters instead of at the end-of-line. The second half of the string then comes on the next line. I'm assuming that I need to persist my data as UTF-8 but I cannot find any examples of that, and I'm new to Java.
Can anyone provide me with an example or a link to relevant documentation?
