Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.OpaqueVerifyString method

Shows how to replace the deprecated OpaqueVerifyString method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.) Android™

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    boolean success = false;

    CkCrypt2 crypt = new CkCrypt2();

    //  Specifies how the original data bytes are converted to characters
    crypt.put_Charset("utf-8");

    String path = "c:/someDir/example.dat";

    //  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  The OpaqueVerifyString method is deprecated:

    CkByteData inData = new CkByteData();
    inData.loadFile(path);

    String originalText = crypt.opaqueVerifyString(inData);

    //  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  Workaround.
    //  (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

    CkBinData bd = new CkBinData();
    bd.LoadFile(path);

    //  If the opaque signature is validated, the contents of bd are replaced with the original data that was signed.
    success = crypt.OpaqueVerifyBd(bd);

    //  Indicate how the bytes are converted to chars by passing the charset.
    originalText = bd.getString("utf-8");

  }

  static {
      System.loadLibrary("chilkat");

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,
      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
      //"The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
