unicode in login and email's

Question

Hello. I tried to register user with uniode encoding name (cyrillic) but user registered with name like '?????'.

 

Also i tried to create password verification email in uniode characters, but when email was received i got same '????????' symbols instead of real text

Hello GeoMobile,

To overcome on this issue, first you need to encode the userName at client side & send the encoded string to server for registration and after regustering user decode it back on the client side.

Kindly find the code snippet on 10th point from here  & let us know if it helps.

yes, thank, with username this works, but what about email? i found a one way - i use image with text instead of text

You can apply both way, one way you can use image with text or second you can split email id before & after '@'  sign & encode it on client side & decode it back after success result. Let us know if it helps.

on Android, the method ScoreBoardService.getUserRanking(gameName, userName) on some encoded names got error,
when i try
encoded name is: 0L/QuNC00L7RgA==
i got error: com.shephertz.app42.paas.sdk.android.App42Exception: Can not parse String : 404 Not Found

my lib version is: App42_ANDROID_SDK_3.0.1

i think this is because encoded name contains slash coz other encoded names (without slash) work ok, but I not shure.

Thanks for sharing the details with us. The error which you have shared is occur due to '/'
because its breaking the URL into two part & pointing out on different method/resource. That's why you are getting 404 exception. To overcome on this issue, you can replace the '/' from '%2F' when saving the user score & fetching it back into app from App42 data base.

For Example:
Your user Name is: "0L/QuNC00L7RgA==" & you can replace this string using replace function:
String userName = "0L/QuNC00L7RgA==".replace("/","%2F");
 
Please check & let us know if it helps.
