Question

I got a valid Json string(at least every onlinevalidator I tried says so) which contains some chinese characters.

The json string is the following:

{“title”:”\u8981\u805e–\u83ef\u723e\u8857\u65e5\u5831″,”url”:”http://cn.wsj.com”,”desc”:”\u300a\u83ef\u723e\u8857\u65e5\u5831\u300b\u4e2d\u6587\u7db2\u7d61\u7248\u6700\u65b0\u8ca1\u7d93\u8981\u805e”,”imageUrl”:null,”lastUpdate”:”1327588937″,”items”:[{“title”:”\u4e16\u8cbf\u7d44\u7e54\u7e3d\u5e79\u4e8b\ufe55\u4eba\u6c11\u5e63\u5e63\u503c\u88ab\u4f4e\u4f30\ufe50\u4f46\u4f4e\u4f30\u7a0b\u5ea6\u4e0d\u660e”,”desc”:”\u4e16\u754c\u8cbf\u6613\u7d44\u7e54\u7e3d\u5e79\u4e8b\u5e15\u65af\u5361\u723e\uff0e\u62c9\u7c73\u9031\u56db\u8868\u793a\ufe50\u4eba\u6c11\u5e63\u532f\u7387\u88ab\u660e\u986f\u4f4e\u4f30\ufe50\u4f46\u4f4e\u4f30\u7a0b\u5ea6\u9084\u4e0d\u6e05\u695a\u3002″,”url”:”http://cn.wsj.com/big5/20120126/BCHc-20120126WR182711424.asp?source=rss”,”pubdate”:null}]}

Now when i Parse the JsonString in Android via new JsonObject(jsonString) I only got some squares instead of characters.

Why cant android handle this json string?

Any help would be apreciated.

If anyone would like to have the server Ressource, it can be found under:

// edit
url removed

Answer 1

public static String test(){
    String testResult= "";
    try {
        HttpGet get = new HttpGet("http://xxxxx");//edit url removed.
        DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(get);
        String result = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
        JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(result);
        if(!obj.isNull("title")){
            testResult= obj.getString("title");
            Log.d("Test","Test1:"+ testResult);
        }
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return testResult;//
}

and Then TextView.setText(testResult);
It works for me.

it’s Traditional Chinese String:”要聞–華爾街日報”
May be your ROM has no Traditional Chinese font？？？？
