Hi All,

The documentation for java.net.URLEncoder specifies that encode(String s) is deprecated in favor of encode(String s, String enc). Problem is, enc isn't described in the parameters section. I've tried setting enc to "UTF-8", "US-ASCII", "ISO-8859-1", and "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", and nothing works, I keep getting the same UnsupportedEncodingException. Does anybody know what I'm supposed to use for this parameter?

Thanks,

Hi aetmos,

Could you paste your code here? I think it will be useful to clear your issue.

Hi cabernet1976,

Well, what I'm actually trying to do is URLEncode my HTTP_Request vars, like so:

Code: Select all

//(import java.net.URLEncoder;)
...
vars.put(URLEncoder.encode(titleText.getText().toString(),"UTF-8"),URLEncoder.encode(bodyText.getText().toString(),"UTF-8"));


but the issue I'm having can be illustrated like this, too:

Code: Select all

//(import java.net.URLEncoder;)
...
URLEncoder.encode("blah blah blah","UTF-8");


Thanks,
Tom

Never mind...I just wasn't catching the exception with try{}. Apparently the potential for an uncaught exception is enough to trigger a compiler error?

Hello aetmos,

compiler beefs only on explicitly thrown Exceptions (which are nun RunTimeExceptions).

Thanks, plusminus. It seems I have a lot to learn about Java
