I wrote an application on Android using Java, so users can answer questions, which are then saved to a file. The problem is that this file is saved in UTF8 . The end user will open this file in IBM SPSS which is a Windows application and will only read files in ANSI (Windows-1252).

How do I create files in ANSI to save to memory card in my Java-Android application?

To convert Strings to ANSI I should use:

String unicode = new String(asciiBytes, "windows-1252");

Is this correct?

My old code to save the file is:

File interviewFile = new File(placeOfSDD, fileName);
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(interviewFile, true);
writer.append(textBody);
writer.flush();
writer.close();

"textBody" is the String to convert to ANSI , and "interviewFile" is the file to save as ANSI as well.

Already to read a file in ANSI and convert it to String with UTF8 , how do I?

OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(
                                new FileOutputStream(file, true), "windows-1252"
                                );
writer.append(textBody);
writer.close();
