Decode utf-8 Hex to a String

Converts a hex-encoded utf-8 bytes to a string. 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;

    CkStringBuilder sb = new CkStringBuilder();

    //  Append the hex.  The hex can be uppercase hex or lowercase hex, it doesn't matter.
    success = sb.Append("D79ED795D7A6D7A8");

    //  Notice the above string contains Hebrew chars using the utf-8 byte representation.
    //  See https://www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/codetables/BasicHebrew.html
    //  For example:  D79E is the HEBREW LETTER MEM

    //  Therefore, when we decode to binary bytes, we must interpret the bytes as utf-8
    //  to get characters.

    //  Tell Chilkat to URL decode like this:
    success = sb.Decode("hex","utf-8");

    //  sb now contains the decoded string.
    Log.i(TAG, sb.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."
