plus is getting placed instead of space while posting text on twitter

Question

I am using the below code to post string on twitter but instead of space, plus is getting placed in my posted string. How can I resolve this problem?

Intent inte = new Intent(
      Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
      Uri.parse("https://mobile.twitter.com/compose/tweet?status="
        + "La Mar Cebicheria"+ "     " + sharepath));
    startActivity(inte);

    mpopup.dismiss();

below is the image as how my text is looking

Answer 1

The Uri.parse method takes an encoded string which is compliant with RFC-2396 . In this format, space characters are encoded to plus signs.

To get the properly formatted URL, you should do something like:

URI uri = new URI("http", "https://mobile.twitter.com/compose/tweet?status="
        + "La Mar Cebicheria"+ "     " + sharepath, null);
URL url = uri.toURL();
