i already used log cat and this is the exception

& hellip ; is converted directly by stack overflow

Use adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse to examine LogCat and look at the stack trace associated with your exception. — CommonsWare

Maybe it's not an encoding problem: from the error log I see, that you try to convert a String to a JSONArray. I'm not an expert in the JSON domain, but a JSONArray is a collection and I'd expect that you try to add the String (including the ellipse char) to the (existing) JSON array rather then trying to make an array from the String.

JSON expects all Strings to be in UTF-8 format, so it really should be able to handle the ellipse char.

you are right , i have posted the wrong log. this problem there is when i try to use the content with & hellip; as a url parameter
