UTF-8 encoding in Volley Requests
If you know that absolutely all of the files you are requesting will be in the UTF-8 format, which it sounds like you do, then you might consider forcing your Volley request to return UTF-8 formatted strings. You could accomplish this by subclassing the standard JSON request. Something like this:
public class Utf8JsonRequest extends JsonRequest<JSONObject> {
...
@Override
protected Response<JSONObject> parseNetworkResponse (NetworkResponse response) {
try {
String utf8String = new String(response.data, "UTF-8");
return Response.success(new JSONObject(utf8String), HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(response));
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
// log error
return Response.error(new ParseError(e));
} catch (JSONException e) {
// log error
return Response.error(new ParseError(e));
}
}
}
This is worked as a charm for me,, I just created a static method from @Muhammad Naeem's answer,, Thanks Muhammed..
public static String fixEncodingUnicode(String response) {
String str = "";
try {
str = new String(response.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String decodedStr = Html.fromHtml(str).toString();
return decodedStr;
}
donot use try{} catch in the onResponse block, that is giving some problem in my code , rather than that you can implement like this .
@Override
onResponse(String s) {
s= fixEncoding(s);
Toast.makeToast(this,s,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
and i think you will get the required result
public static String fixEncoding(String response) {
try {
byte[] u = response.toString().getBytes(
"ISO-8859-1");
response = new String(u, "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
return response;
}
I have same problem like this and i solve it using UTF-8 charset.
String str = "";
try {
str = new String(strFromService.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String decodedStr = Html.fromHtml(str).toString();
I hope this will work for you
