Trying to get the weight from the weighing scale through a port connected to a USB that's connected to my android phone. The data is coming through but I don't know how to convert it properly. This is the code I'm currently using to convert the data:

try {
    String data = new String(arg0, "UTF-8");

    if (mHandler != null)
        mHandler.obtainMessage(MESSAGE_FROM_SERIAL_PORT, data).sendToTarget();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

This is what I'm currently getting:

The number 14700t was supposed to show on the textview.

  • you must have specs of the thing u are connected. only it can say which bytes corresponds to the weight and whatever unit it is – ugur Nov 02 '16 at 21:17
  • Try print `arg0` as `byte[]` values and analyze them. Probably `"UTF-8"` is wrong encoding. – Andrii Omelchenko Nov 02 '16 at 21:25
