How should I create the fieldList for Elektron API? (RSSL 14002)
I use below code nut it fail to send the "€" and I see strange Char instead.
is UTF8 the correct way?
FieldList fieldList = EmaFactory.createFieldList();
fieldList.add(
EmaFactory.createFieldEntry().utf8(Integer.parseInt(Row), "Hello € !"));
or
EmaFactory.createFieldEntry().utf8(1352, "Hello € !" );
EmaFactory.createFieldEntry().utf8(318, "Hello € !" );
According to the data dictionary (RDMFieldDictionary), those fields are RMTES_STRING.
ROW80_4 "IRGROW 4" 318 NULL ALPHANUMERIC 80 RMTES_STRING 80 DSPLY_NMLL "LCL LANG DSP NM" 1352 NULL ALPHANUMERIC 32 RMTES_STRING 32
To send UTF8 characters in RMTES, you need the special escape characters, as mentioned in this discussion. Therefore, the code looks like this:
ByteBuffer bbuf = ByteBuffer.allocate(14);
byte[] partial = {
27,//0x1B
37,//0x25
48, //0x30 (0)
72,//H
101,//e
108, //l
108, //l
111, //o
32, //<space>
(byte) 226,(byte)130,(byte) 172, //0xE2 0x82 0xAC (€)
32, //<space>
33 //!
};
bbuf.put(partial);
bbuf.rewind();
nestedFieldList.add(EmaFactory.createFieldEntry().rmtes(3, bbuf));
