Displaying NON-ASCII Characters using HttpClient
- by Abdullah Gheith
So, i am using this code to get the whole HTML of a website. But i dont seem to get non-ascii characters with me. all i get is diamonds with question mark.
characters like this: å, appears like this: ?
I doubt its because of the charset, what could it then be?
Log.e("HTML", "henter htmlen..");
String url = "http://beep.tv2.dk";
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
client.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION,
HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
client.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.HTTP_ELEMENT_CHARSET, "UTF-8");
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
Header h = HeaderValueFormatter
response.addHeader(header)
String html = "";
InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
{
str.append(line);
}
in.close();
//b = false;
html = str.toString();
