Reading InputStream as UTF-8
Solved my own problem. This line:
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));needs to be:
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream(), "UTF-8"));or since Java 7:
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
String file = "";try { InputStream is = new FileInputStream(filename); String UTF8 = "utf8"; int BUFFER_SIZE = 8192; BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, UTF8), BUFFER_SIZE); String str; while ((str = br.readLine()) != null) { file += str; }} catch (Exception e) {}Try this,.. :-)
I ran into the same problem every time it finds a special character marks it as ��. to solve this, I tried using the encoding: ISO-8859-1
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("txtPath"),"ISO-8859-1"));while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {}I hope this can help anyone who sees this post.
