//write

ByteArrayOutputStream boStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
DataOutputStream doStream = new DataOutputStream(boStream);
doStream.writeUTF(myString);
temp.addRecord(boStream.toByteArray(), 0, boStream.size());

//read

ByteArrayInputStream biStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(temp.getRecord(id));
DataInputStream diStream = new DataInputStream(biStream);
myString = diStream.readUTF();

I got the handle wrong on the question. RecordStore still store byte arrays. What you need to do is convert it into a byte array and back again. Just use string.getBytes() and then store it like that, and then the opposite is String str = new String(bytes);. Hope that helps. The default charset of either J2ME or J2SE is UTF-8, so there's no messing about there.
