Android app encoding problem - not display ÅÄÖ properly

When user enters a value 'Nedskräpning' in a EditTextbox, it is saved as 'Nedskräpning' in the database. So I am assuming this error is generated from the Android part of the application. UPDATE: <-- probably false assumption?

 <EditText android:id="@+id/commentTextBox"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
                android:layout_weight="1"/>

The java code:

commentTextBox = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.commentTextBox);
crapport.setComment(commentTextBox.getText().toString());

Then this crapport is saved in the database.

Any tips on how to solve this?

UPDATE: This is my Apache CXF webservice:

  @Path("/crapportService/")
public class CrapportServiceImpl implements CrapportService {

    @Autowired
    private CrapportController crapportController;

    @Override
    @Path("image")
    @POST
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML)
    public String addReport(MultipartBody multipartBody) {

        List<Attachment> attachmentList = new ArrayList<Attachment>();
        attachmentList = multipartBody.getAllAttachments();

        if (attachmentList.size() == 0){
            return "No attachments"开发者_JAVA百科;
        }

        try {
            crapportController.processReportFromClient(attachmentList);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return "Error: FileNotFoundException";
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            return "Error: NullPointerException";
        } catch (IOException e) {
            return "Error: IOException";
        }

        return "Success";
    }

}

I looks to me your database uses ISO-8859-15 or ISO-8859-1 as encoding, the string from Android is in UTF-8 and if stored into the database the high word and the low word from the UTF-8 "Ä" get split into their two ISO-8859-1 counterparts, making it "ä".

Solved it by passing a character encoding argument to the string-creation. eg) new String("values", Charset.forName("UTF-8")) in the controller part of the backend-application.
