I am trying to send emoticons to my webservice but I get the following error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character (d83d) at org.kxml2.io.KXmlSerializer.reportInvalidCharacter(KXmlSerializer.java:144) at org.kxml2.io.KXmlSerializer.writeEscaped(KXmlSerializer.java:130) at org.kxml2.io.KXmlSerializer.text(KXmlSerializer.java:536) at org.ksoap2.serialization.DM.writeInstance(DM.java:68) at org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope.writeElement(SoapSerializationEnvelope.java:656) at org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope.writeProperty(SoapSerializationEnvelope.java:649) at org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope.writeObjectBody(SoapSerializationEnvelope.java:595) at org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope.writeObjectBody(SoapSerializationEnvelope.java:573) at org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope.writeElement(SoapSerializationEnvelope.java:658) at org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope.writeBody(SoapSerializationEnvelope.java:555) at org.ksoap2.SoapEnvelope.write(SoapEnvelope.java:205) at org.ksoap2.transport.Transport.createRequestData(Transport.java:134) at org.ksoap2.transport.HttpTransportSE.call(HttpTransportSE.java:149) at org.ksoap2.transport.HttpTransportSE.call(HttpTransportSE.java:118) at org.ksoap2.transport.HttpTransportSE.call(HttpTransportSE.java:113) at corcanoe.gps.tracker.MyClass.MyFunction(MyClass.java:708)
This is the code I use for MyClass.MyFunction():
SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
request.addProperty("MyText", MyText); //MyText has emoticons
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SOAP_VERSION);
envelope.dotNet = true;
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope); //I get the error here
Object result = envelope.getResponse();
String resultData = result.toString();
return resultData;
It works for a few simple emoticons like ☺ but it doesn't work newer ones like crying or laughing. So, the question is, how can I serialize properly?
