I am loading JSON using the following sample.

http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/21128/Code_sample_Parse_JSON_data_structure_13...

It is working fine. But some fields are in Arabic. Those are showing as junk characters.  

الرئيس التنفيذي في «الاتصالات» السعودية: مفهوم التشبع [0.0] 

Is there any solution for this problem? Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards

welcome to the support forums.

how did you encode the arabic characters? to transfer them with json, xml or similar you could use unicode notation, for example. (\uxxxx)

[jomy]

I am using the following code to get JSON

 public static Object loadJson(String uriStr){

 Object _json = null;

        Message response = null;

        BlockingSenderDestination bsd = null;

        try

        {

            bsd = (BlockingSenderDestination)

                        DestinationFactory.getSenderDestination

                            ("CommAPISample", URI.create(uriStr));

            if(bsd == null)

            {

                bsd =

                  DestinationFactory.createBlockingSenderDestination

                      (new Context("CommAPISample"),

                       URI.create(uriStr), new JSONMessageProcessor()

                       );

            }

            // Send message and wait for response

            response = bsd.sendReceive();

            _json = response.getObjectPayload();

        }

        catch(Exception e)

        {

            System.out.println(e.toString());

        }

        finally

        {

            if(bsd != null)

            {

                bsd.release();

            }

        }

        return _json;

 }

Once i Got the JSON i am using the following code to parse it

     JSONObject tbl =  (JSONObject)JSONData;

     JSONArray tblAry = tbl.names();

        for(int i = 0; i < tblAry.length(); ++i)

        {

            try

            {

             Object rowData =  tbl.get(tblAry.getString(i));

             JSONObject row =  (JSONObject)rowData;

         String title = new String(getStringFromObj(row.get("Title")));

                String postedDate = getStringFromObj(row.get("PostedDate")); 

 add(new LabelField(title));

 add(new LabelField(postedDate ));

            }

            catch(JSONException e)

            {

                System.out.println(e.toString());

                continue;

            }

        }

------

getStringFromObj function

 String getStringFromObj(Object obj){

 String retVal = "";

        if(obj == null || obj.toString().equalsIgnoreCase("null") == false)

        {

         retVal = obj.toString();

        }

        return retVal;

 } 

-----

it is working fine. 'postedDate'  is showing well. But 'title' is in Arabic and it is showing as Junk

[jomy]

When I Directly access the JSON through browser I am getting the following data. Where Arabic is coming well.

maybe you should work on some basics, read

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding

to transfer arabic characters (or anything else not ansi) you have to encode them. and decode them later, of course. usually utf8 is used for this.

[jomy]

Sorry I am new to Java and Blackberry. The same JSON works with IPHONE.

I will try to encode the JSON input and later decode it.

Thanks

[jomy]

In JSON I encode Arabic text in \uxxxx format.And it is working. Thanks
