Jedis incompatible with Android because it uses getBytes(Charset)

[esilverberg]

Jedis depends on this implementation of getBytes

http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#getBytes(java.nio.charset.Charset)

Which is not available on Android. Could it use:
http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String.html#getBytes(java.lang.String)

Unfortunately, that throws an exception, which jedis would now have to catch

Yes, I think there will be no problem doing that.

I looked into re-writing the code myself, but found it would take a great deal of time because the available getBytes method throws UnsupportedEncodingException.

Just pushed to master a small refactoring for java 1.5 which handle the UnsupportedEncodingException. I think it should be OK now for android. Please let me know so I can close this issue.

any news of this? I will close this issue for now and if someone else thinks it is not compatible we'll open a new one.
