public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override

    CkStringBuilder sb = new CkStringBuilder();

    // Here we wish to URL decode the following string:
    boolean success = sb.Append("%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A6%D7%A81.jpg");

    // Notice the above string contains Hebrew chars using the utf-8 byte representation.
    // See https://www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/codetables/BasicHebrew.html
    // For example:  D79E is the HEBREW LETTER MEM

    // Therefore, when we decode to binary bytes, we must interpret the bytes as utf-8
    // to get characters.

    // Tell Chilkat to URL decode like this:
    success = sb.Decode("url","utf-8");

    // sb now contains the decoded string.
    Log.i(TAG, sb.getAsString());

  }

  static {
      System.loadLibrary("chilkat");

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,
      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
      //"The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
