Android encoding a string and display in textView

Question

I have an array of strings which are in latin and have some letters which are turned into "?", I need them to display correctly.

String[] asd= {"Srećni nikad ne razmišljaju o sreći."};

in "asd" I have strings which I need to display correctly in TextView on my android device, but every "ć", "š" turns into "?".

textView.setText(asd[0]);

I am using Android Studio. Thanks

This is supposed to work. Android is unicode so this means č š ž ć đ should work normally. Have you tried setting it from you XML? — Bojan Kseneman

Yeah that worked, I changed the way I was doing things to xml resource and then pulling data from there. Thanks — luk492

In Android Studio there is two options for encoding you need to check

1- your project encoding
2- your IDE encoding
you will find them under setting
enter image description here

Please make sure also not to hard code any strings you have to put them in string xml files

You are supposed to put strings like that into your XML and get them from there. It's a good idea too, since that allows you to have several languages, yet using the same code. Read more here
