Java URL encoding of query string parameters

Question

Say I have a URL

http://example.com/query?q=

and I have a query entered by the user such as:

random word £500 bank

Answer 1

I found an easy solution to your question. I also wanted to use an encoded URL but nothing helped me.

http://example.com/query?q=random%20word%20%A3500%20bank%20%24

to use String example = "random word £500 bank $"; you can you below code.

String example = "random word £500 bank $";
String URL = "http://example.com/query?q=" + example.replaceAll(" ","%20");
