android - German unicode letters don't show up in app -

i have problem language encoding... try incorporate random motivational string app contains german unicode letters... far know, java uses unicode-16, respective letters dont show @ when start app. i'm using android studio , app tested on real device.

public class start extends actionbaractivity {  //this string array containing quotes string[] motivational = {"unser größter ruhm ist nicht, niemals zu fallen, sondern jedes mal wieder aufzustehen.\nralph waldo emerson"};  public int randint() {     random rand = new random();     return rand.nextint((motivational.length) + 1); }  @override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {     super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);     setcontentview(r.layout.activity_start);      //takes random quote list , sets textviews content     textview motivator = (textview) findviewbyid(r.id.motivator);     motivator.settext(motivational[randint()]); }  //rest of class 

add text strings.xml , use android's getresources.getstring() method text

<resources>    <string name="motivational">unser größter ruhm ist nicht, niemals zu fallen, sondern jedes mal wieder aufzustehen.\nralph waldo emerson</string>  </resources> 

then in java file, use

    string motivational = getresources().getstring(r.string.motivational);     textview motivator = (textview) findviewbyid(r.id.motivator);     motivator.settext(motivational); 

retrieving value strings.xml done using

getresources().getstring(r.string.motivational)  

where r.string.motivational unique string identifier.

isn't output looking for?
