Bug in String() on S40 JRT 1.1.0

[grahamhughes]

Found on Asha 302.

String s = new String(aByteArray, "UTF-8");

This appears to lose \ufeff characters encoded in the original data.

What happens on other devices? There is a bug-reporting set of pages available via "Contact and feedback", Series 40 bugs seem to be reported here: http://www.developer.nokia.com/bugs/...ct=Series%2040

Example code below.

JME SDK emulator displays "feff 61 62 63", as do Series 60 devices, older Series 40s, other MIDP devices. I also see the same behaviour of String() on Java SE, Android and BlackBerry, so I regard this as "correct".

The Asha 302 devices on Nokia RDA display only "61 62 63", as does (I now discover) my C3-01, so it has been a Series 40 issue for sometime.

It is not causing me a problem, I'm just posting it for information.

import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Form;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Command;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.CommandListener;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Display;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Displayable;

public class BomTest extends MIDlet implements CommandListener {
    protected void startApp() {
        Form f = new Form("BomTest");
        try {
            String s = new String("\ufeffabc".getBytes("UTF-8"), "UTF-8");
            for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
                f.append(Integer.toString((int) s.charAt(i), 16));
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            f.append(e.toString());
        }
        f.addCommand(new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 0));
        f.setCommandListener(this);
        Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(f);
    }

    public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable d) {
        notifyDestroyed();
    }

    protected void pauseApp() {
    }
    protected void destroyApp(boolean must) {
    }
}
