Android UTF-8 encoding for text

Question

I have an android application which get jSON data through HttpGet. But I am facing some problem when I show the data in the text view. The second name in the JSON data shows like my attached photo below. But when I show the jSON data in browser it shows wrong like my photo. Sorry for my poor English.

Here is my activity:

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
 String url = "http://54.228.199.162/api/campaigns";
 try {
 String res;
 HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(url);
 ResponseHandler<String> reshan = new BasicResponseHandler();
 res = client.execute(httpget, reshan);
 Log.d("um1", res);
 JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(res);
 //campaign.setText(res);
 for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
 JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
 String id = jsonObject.getString(TAG_ID);
 byte[] b = id.getBytes("utf-8");
 String utfid = new String(b);
 String name = jsonObject.getString(TAG_NAME);
 byte[] s = name.getBytes("utf-8");
 String utfname = new String(s);
 Log.d("IDDDDDDD", id);
 Log.d("Nameeeeeee", name);
 HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
 // adding each child node to HashMap key => value
 map.put(TAG_ID, utfid);
 map.put(TAG_NAME, utfname);
 //Object contactList;
 contactList.add(map);
 }
 HttpResponse httpresponse = client.execute(httpget);
 int responsecode = httpresponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
 Log.d("responsenummmm", "um11111"+responsecode);
 } catch (Exception e) {
 // TODO: handle exception
 e.printStackTrace();
 };

Here is the jSON data file:

[{"_id":"520ba75acf17c8cc796b584b","name":"Oulu Liikkujan viikko 16-22.9.2013"},
{"_id":"52161d80ecaf181dc5982624","name":"Ylöjärvi Liikkujan viikko 16-22.9.2013"},
{"_id":"52262fa6d3ee051600d84c68","name":"Lapin yliopiston hyvinvointiviikko 16-22.9.2013"},
{"_id":"5293bbffbf2f15044800011d","name":"testi"}, {"_id":"52a318bbac059a0002000b4f","name":"Standing wave to Oulu"}]

Here is the problem in Text view:

In the second red line, the name

The name of the second one in the text view(photo) should be look like:Ylöjärvi Liikkujan viikko 16-22.9.2013 Please help me.

write like this Html.fromHtml(YOUR STRING)

• Fabrizio Valencia: None of the answers found worked, until found this. Marvelous!

Answer 2

Try to decode your your value as below :

 String decodedString = URLDecoder.decode(jsonObject.getString(TAG_ID), "UTF-8");

• Mohammad Rajob: It's not working brother. The second name In text view should look like Ylöjärvi Liikkujan viikko 16-22.9.2013 as jSon data. Thank you.
• GrIsHu: Are you talking about the second row of your listview ? @MohammadRajob
• Mohammad Rajob: Yes brother In the second row the name should look like Ylöjärvi Liikkujan viikko 16-22.9.2013.
• GrIsHu: Then why don't you set the value for your second row same as your first row ?
• Mohammad Rajob: In my json data the second name is Ylöjärvi Liikkujan viikko 16-22.9.2013, but when I show it in the text view it is Ylöjärvi Liikkujan viikko 16-22.9.2013. The first part is not same as json data(Ylöjärvi). It should be Ylöjärvi. Can you understand. Thank you.

Html.fromHtml("<font color='#ffff0000'>enter...label</font>")
