The Characters are ASCII(hexadecimal notation), that im sure off. Compare feeds from Google to the raw JSON data shows this aswell.
http://www.asciitable.com/ \(escape) :: x(signifies 2 char hex value) :: 3c(the hex value) \x3c = < \x3c = > The above uses the Hex values for the characters. These characters could be converted to there respected symbols. These characters are then make up a HTML Entity code. See below: \x26#39; == ' == ' (an apostrophe) Another simple way to check is typing the following: javascript:alert('\x3c\x3e\x3c\x26'); into the address bar. Oh, and what is the meaning of using BufferedReader with an 8-character > buffer? I found a tutorial online for showing how to get JSON input via URL. I didn't question the code but now that you noticed it, it doesn't make sense(to my limited knowledge). Since the purpose of a buffered reader is increase efficiency by buffering large sets of data at one time, limiting the buffer size to 8 bytes nullifies its purpose , correct? I can use TextUtils.htmlEncode to handle any HTML entity codes but getting the ASCII hex values to character values is proving a bit challenging. Would i need to store the data into a byte array and then work on the byte array? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
