    public String getDecoder(InputStream inputStream) {

    String encoding = null;

    try {
        byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
        UniversalDetector detector = new UniversalDetector(null);
        int nread;

        while ((nread = inputStream.read(buf)) > 0 && !detector.isDone()) {
            detector.handleData(buf, 0, nread);
        }

        detector.dataEnd();
        encoding = detector.getDetectedCharset();
        detector.reset();

        inputStream.close();

    } catch (Exception e) {
    }

    return encoding;
