Messed up character encoding with Android + GAE Cloud Endpoints

Question

I made web app using GAE\'s Cloud Endpoints. App has only backend part. App calls Google Places API and parses JSON responses, creating objects which returns to client. Clie

SOLVED IT!!!!

I think that this is Google's bug evenly as mine. I assumed that response will be encoded in UTF-8, so I just used:

URL url = new URL(PLACE_AC_API + encodedInput + PLACE_AC_API_OPTIONS);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));

With explicitly adding charset argument everything worked out:

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream(), Charset.forName("UTF-8")));

But Google definitely need to see why this behaves differently in local and deployed.

All the best to everyone, thanks for interesting and effort!
