Android: Json string with spaces gives “Unterminated object at” exception

Question

Whenever I have a Json string object with a space in it I get the following error.

Java:

String jString = getResources().getString(R.string.event);
         


        

Answer 1

Space in the JSON creates this issue . TRY following json {"Array":[{"Name":"One-two-three"},{"Name":"Two"},{"Name":"Three"}]}

Answer 2

Try wrapping it in a CDATA block. This should prevent any confusion.

<resources>
    <string name="event"><![CDATA[
        {"Array":[{"Name":"One two three"},{"Name":"Two"},{"Name":"Three"}]}
    ]]></string>
</resources>

Answer 3

Reading through my own post I noticed that the error message doesn't have any quotes around the string object values. So I changed the " to \" in the xml string and it worked fine.
