Android Studio:error: illegal character: '\u2028'

I am trying to do a JSONObject request:

final String URL = \"https://some/url\";

// Post params to be sent to the server
HashMap para         


        

Answer 1

I faced the exact same issue but in my case the number of errors were pretty large(95 or so). The only sane thing to do was to replace these characters with an empty character. This short Python script would do that and print out the new contents for your file. Run it with the correct path to your file. Cheers.

with open(‘filename.java’, ‘r’) as file:
    data=(file.read().decode(“utf-8”)).replace(u’\u2028', ‘’).encode(“utf-8”)
    print data
