Jsoup returns hieroglyphics for cyrillic text

Question

I am getting tv schedule from tv program website but I am getting hieroglyphics for text.

This is html

<div id="tabs-1">
<div class="tab-content clear">
 <div class="col">
  <h2 class="col-heading">претпладне</h2>
  <ul class="col-list">
   <li class="col-item">          
    <span class="time">06:45</span>
    <span class="title">
    <span class="h4">Македонија наутро</span>
    <br />
    <span class="em">инфостудио</span>
    </span>
   </li>
   <li class="col-item">          
    <span class="time">09:15</span>
    <span class="title">
    <span class="h4">Музичко интермецо</span>
    <br />
    <span class="em">•</span>
    </span>
   </li>

This is what jsoup returns

<li class="col-item">
 b <span class="time">06:45</span>
 <span class="title">
  <span class="h4">ÐÐ°ÐºÐµÐ´Ð¾Ð½Ð¸ÑÐ° Ð½Ð°ÑÑÑÐ¾</span>
  <br>
  <span class="em">Ð¸Ð½ÑÐ¾ÑÑÑÐ´Ð¸Ð¾</span>
 </span>
</li>
<li class="col-item">
 b <span class="time">09:15</span>
 <span class="title">
  <span class="h4">ÐÑÐ·Ð¸ÑÐºÐ¾ Ð¸Ð½ÑÐµÑÐ¼ÐµÑÐ¾</span>
  <br>
  <span class="em">â¢</span>
 </span>
</li>

See that ÐÐ°ÐºÐµÐ´Ð¾Ð½Ð¸ÑÐ° Ð½Ð°ÑÑÑÐ¾ thing, thats the problem. This is my code

Document document = Jsoup.parse(response);

Element description = document.getElementById("tabs-1");
Elements c = description.getElementsByTag("li").prepend("b");
Elements time = description.getElementsByClass("time");
Elements title = description.getElementsByClass("title");

String v = c.toString();
adress.append(v);

I am using Volley library thats why I am parsing responce string,don't get confused. This is url I am trying to parse http://creativa5.com/dev/mtvepg/programa/.

I tried using

Document document = Jsoup.parse(response, "ISO-8859-1");

but same thing.

Any help how to encode this to utf-8 ?

Maybe it's problem of database. database is not suppot utf-8. Try ask some one manage database. — tiny sunlight, Nov 17 '15 at 14:45
I think the problem is not in the Jsoup but in the response String. print response and check is it appeared correctly. I have copied your html and use your code it's showing me the correct output — Ashraful Islam, Nov 17 '15 at 14:46
@AshrafulIslam Try copying url I am trying to parse and tell me what you get ? — phlosopher_mk, Nov 17 '15 at 14:59
@tinysunlight I am not storing extracted data in database, and if you mean about website is not mine so I can't check that. But I am pretty sure this is encoding problem, I just don't know how to encode properly with jsoup. — phlosopher_mk, Nov 17 '15 at 15:13
Check [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7703434/jsoup-character-encoding-issue). Try something like this, as described in the answer. `Document document = Jsoup.parse(new URL(url).openStream(), "ISO-8859-1", url);`. — Jonas Czech, Nov 17 '15 at 15:23
oh. if you are using volley .Plz provide your Request.Class . — tiny sunlight, Nov 17 '15 at 15:29
In the request return you new String(respense) . you should add utf-8 there. — tiny sunlight, Nov 17 '15 at 15:30
I have added my code . I have never used jsoup . But I use volley. — tiny sunlight, Nov 17 '15 at 15:33

public class JsonObjectRequestGet extends Request {
    @Override
    protected Response parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
        try {
            //here to utf-8
            String jsonString = new String(response.data, HttpHeaderParser.parseCharset(response.headers));

            return Response.success(new JSONObject(jsonString),
                    HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(response));
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            return Response.error(new ParseError(e));
        } catch (JSONException je) {
            return Response.error(new ParseError(je));
        }
    }
}

Yes I am using volley ,but I am requesting string because jsoup. I am parsing html not reading json data. I updated the question with my request method . – phlosopher_mk Nov 17 '15 at 15:41
Ok, I just tried same thing without volley (just simple Async) and problem was not there . Volley is the problem like you said, can you tell me how to fix this ? – phlosopher_mk Nov 17 '15 at 15:54
which jar should i complie if i want to use jsoup. – tiny sunlight Nov 17 '15 at 16:02
compile files('libs/jsoup.jar') , or downoad jar file from here http://jsoup.org/download – phlosopher_mk Nov 17 '15 at 16:08
I fixed the problem by adding newStr = URLDecoder.decode(URLEncoder.encode(response.toString(), "iso8859-1"), "UTF-8"); in response . Than I am parsing newStr . But there is only one problem , my textview scrolls to the end automatically when data is parsed. How to stop that ? – phlosopher_mk Nov 17 '15 at 16:23
Textview scroll when append().Can you upload you layout? – tiny sunlight Nov 17 '15 at 16:37
The problem was that text was selectable , I removed selectable tag. Thank you. – phlosopher_mk Nov 17 '15 at 17:03

Here is my request method

 private StringRequest mtvPrograma() {

    StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, "http://creativa5.com/dev/mtvepg/programa/",
            new Response.Listener<String>() {
                @Override
                public void onResponse(String response) {




                    Document document = Jsoup.parse(response,"utf-8");


                    Element description = document.getElementById("tabs-1");
                    Elements c = description.getElementsByTag("li").prepend("b");
                    Elements time = description.getElementsByClass("time");
                    Elements title = description.getElementsByClass("title");

                    String v = c.text().replaceAll("b", "\n\n");;

                    adress.append(v);




                }
            }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
        @Override
        public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {

        }
    }

    );
    return stringRequest;

}

@tinysunlight for some reason I can't edit question, here is my request method. — phlosopher_mk, Nov 17 '15 at 15:46
