I'm trying to decode a XML using XmlPullParser with UTF-8 but something is going wrong because when a string is "dirección" I am getting "direcci& #xf3;n" (without spaces between & and #).

I did this: 

            XmlPullParser parser = Xml.newPullParser();
            parser.setFeature(XmlPullParser.FEATURE_PROCESS_NAMESPACES, false);
            parser.setInput(input, "UTF-8");

Also I tried with parser.setInput(input, "utf-8"); but same problem

What I am doing wrong?

  • I don't think this is a problem with UTF-8 specifically. I think this is a problem with the parser turning special characters into HTML entities. If there were a charset problem, I would expect to see some garbled text or ? symbols. Have you tried something like: StringEscapeUtils.unescapeHtml(xml); (Apache Commons) Commented Apr 23, 2015 at 9:21
