Problem with JSON encoding, Android Studio?

Question

Android

I get JSON from a certain resource, I looked at the html source code, there is no encoding set there. As a result, I get diamonds with a question mark in the application when outputting text from this JSON. Is there some method or way to decode this? I'm trying URLEncoder, but it still doesn't work.

Answer 1

The encoding of the response text is set in the "Content-Type" http header, for example like this:
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf8
or like this:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1251

I get JSON from a certain resource, I looked at the html source code, there is no encoding set there.

That's the way it should be.
And don't pay attention to any "meta charset" in the standard. This is just a hint to the browser for difficult cases, when the web server itself does not know in what encoding the text is returned.
