[TIMOB-1672] Android: XHR to XML (responseXML) does not respect encoding

Test case (see me via e-mail for the URL for xhr.open() -- it's not to be made public).

   
   var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
       title:'Drivers',
       backgroundColor:'#fff',
       fullscreen: true,
       exitOnClose: true
   });
   
   win.open();
   
   var rows = [];
   var xhr = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient();
   xhr.onload = function(e) {
       try {
           var xml = xhr.responseXML;
           if (xml) {
               var session = xml.getElementsByTagName('session');
               if (session) {
                   session = session.item(0);
               } else { 
                   alert('session list not fetched');
                   return;
               }
               if (session) {
                   if (!session.hasChildNodes()) {
                       alert('No child nodes');
                       return;
                   }
                   var length = session.childNodes.length;
                   for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
                       var child = session.childNodes.item(i);
                       if (child.nodeType == child.ELEMENT_NODE) {
                           rows.push(Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({color: 'black', title: child.getAttribute("driver")}));
                       }
                   }
                   win.add(Ti.UI.createTableView({data: rows}));
               } else {
                   alert('"session" not found');
               }
           } else {
               alert('XML did not load');
           }
       } catch(ex) {
           alert(ex);
       }
   };
   xhr.open('GET', '(SEE BILL FOR URL -- IT IS NOT TO BE MADE PUBLIC)');
   xhr.send();

Actually you can get the feed address from the problem description in helpdesk ticket 38891.

Hey Bill,

thanks a lot for your help again. I have attached 2 screenshots bcs im still having the "umlaut" issue. And im using the build from your continous build server.

Maybe its because im downloading the file and save it into another file. I have also attached the js file which handles the downloading and saving of the file. And im using responseData instead of responseXML.

Best regards, Marco

Here is the remoteFile.js File

Hi Marco,

Please add to your helpdesk ticket instead of here. The issue described by the title of this lighthouse ticket really is resolved, so we should carry on with other problems (i.e., going through a file) via helpdesk.

thank you,
Bill
