Encoding in Java

Question

I have an C# function which i want to translate in Java code. I have a problem here:

Encoding enc = Encoding.GetEncoding("Windows-1252");

bytZeichenBenutzer = enc.GetBytes(strBenutzer.Substring(intLoopCount, 1).ToCharArray());

How to do that in Java? I can't find anything similar only stuff that works with UTF-8.

You can use the getBytes(String) or getBytes(Charset) methods:

String myString = getMyStringFromSomeWhere();
byte[] utf8Bytes = myString.getBytes("UTF-8");
// or
Charset myCharset = Charset.forName("Windows-1252");
byte[] windowsBytes = myString.getBytes(myCharset);

String s = "hhh"; 
try {   
  s.getBytes("Windows-1252"); 
} catch(UnsupportedEncodingException e) { 
  e.printStackTrace();  
}

You can do:

byte[] a = "some string".getBytes("Windows-1252");
