Decode from Binary Encoding and Append String

Demonstrates how to decode from a binary encoding (base64, hex, url, etc.) and then append the decoded string to a Chilkat StringBuilder object.

Note: This example uses the new DecodeAndAppend method added in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

// 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;

    //  We have the string "MÆRSK" in two forms:

    //  This is the URL encoding of the windows-1252 representation.
    String nameWindows1252UrlEncoded = "M%C6RSK";

    //  This is the URL encoding of the utf-8 representation.
    String nameUtf8UrlEncoded = "M%C3%86RSK";

    //  Note that the result of loading a string into a string object 
    //  is the same if we correctly specify the underlying charset encoding.
    //  In the above example, we have the same string, but in different charset encodings
    //  subsequently URL encoded.
    CkStringBuilder sb1 = new CkStringBuilder();
    success = sb1.DecodeAndAppend(nameWindows1252UrlEncoded,"url","windows-1252");

    CkStringBuilder sb2 = new CkStringBuilder();
    success = sb2.DecodeAndAppend(nameUtf8UrlEncoded,"url","utf-8");

    //  sb1 and sb2 both hold the same string.
    boolean bEqual = sb1.ContentsEqualSb(sb2,true);
    Log.i(TAG, "bEqual = " + String.valueOf(bEqual));

    //  We can see the string is "MÆRSK" in both cases.
    Log.i(TAG, sb1.getAsString());
    Log.i(TAG, sb2.getAsString());

  }

  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."
