You can update your code as the following:

    private static String getUrlContents(String theUrl) {
        StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();
        try {
            URL url = new URL(theUrl);
            URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
            BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream(), "utf-8"));

            String line;
            while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
                content.append(line).append("\n");
            }
            bufferedReader.close();
        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return content.toString().trim();
    }
