I get the following warning when using java.net.URLEncoder.encode
:
warning: [deprecation] encode(java.lang.String) in java.net.URLEncoder has been deprecated
What should I be using instead?

Use the other encode
method in URLEncoder:
URLEncoder.encode(String, String)
The first parameter is the text to encode; the second is the name of the character encoding to use (e.g., UTF-8
). For example:
System.out.println(
URLEncoder.encode(
"urlParameterString",
java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets.UTF_8.toString()
)
);
You should use:
URLEncoder.encode("NAME", "UTF-8");
Use the class URLEncoder:
URLEncoder.encode(String s, String enc)
Where :
s - String to be translated.
enc - The name of a supported character encoding.
Standard charsets:
US-ASCII Seven-bit ASCII, a.k.a. ISO646-US, a.k.a. the Basic Latin block of the Unicode character set ISO-8859-1 ISO Latin Alphabet No. 1, a.k.a. ISO-LATIN-1
UTF-8 Eight-bit UCS Transformation Format
UTF-16BE Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, big-endian byte order
UTF-16LE Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, little-endian byte order
UTF-16 Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, byte order identified by an optional byte-order mark
Example:
import java.net.URLEncoder;
String stringEncoded = URLEncoder.encode(
"This text must be encoded! aeiou áéíóú ñ, peace!", "UTF-8");
The first parameter is the String to encode; the second is the name of the character encoding to use (e.g., UTF-8).
As an additional reference for the other responses, instead of using "UTF-8" you can use:
HTTP.UTF_8
which is included since Java 4 as part of the org.apache.http.protocol library, which is included also since Android API 1.
