i have try with Urlencoding, and replacement character, but it's not working
what should i do?thank you
*SOLVED
i make replace character in urlString like :

urlString+="?key="+appName.trim().replace(".", "%2E")+"|2|".trim().replace("|", "%7C")+packageName.trim().replace(".", "%2E");

and it's work fine :)

Answer 1

This worked for me. Suppose you have illegal character inside your IP address. Then convert it into Base64 code and send to your server.

For example:

String ip_address = StaticClass.getIPAdress();
        try {

            // Sending side
            byte[] data = ip_address.getBytes("UTF-8");
            ip_address = Base64.encodeToString(data, Base64.DEFAULT);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            ip_address = "";
        }

Write encode ip_address or any field you want inside your url. Decode the variables at your server. But i'm not sure if you are using : com.loopj.android.http.AsyncHttpClient.get

Answer 2

Try encoding Your URL

String link="http://example.php?string1="+URLEncoder.encode(string1)+"&string2="+URLEncoder
.encode(string2)+"&string3="+URLEncoder.encode(string3)+"&string4="+URLEncoder.encode(string4)+"";

Answer 3

In my case it was the variable that I was appending that caused the problem. It had an extra space (spaces). I trimmed it and the error went away. "http://somewebsite.com/somefile?q="+someVariable.trim()

Answer 4

Check this

String myurltoencode = "http://ip/autodownload/andro.php?key=apps.apk|2|bla.bla.bla";
URLEncoder.encode(myurltoencode,"UTF-8");
