Android - Parsing xml with russian words(encoding)

Question

I parse xml file in android. I copypasted example...
It works with english words, but I need to get it working with russian words (it's not working with russion words - without exception - simple bad encoding). I tried to add this

InputSource is = new InputSource();
is.setEncoding("UTF_8"); //add this
is.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(xml));
doc = db.parse(is);

It didn't helped me not a little
Xml is in utf-8 encoding. I think, my app translates words in utf-8 to windows1252...
Can somebody please help?

Thanks for edit!)

It's simple. I get answer from http://forum.sources.ru/index.php?showtopic=354149&st=15&#entry3106098 In English: My app get word from xml in bad encoding!

HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
                HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
                line = EntityUtils.toString(httpEntity, "UTF-8");

Simple, I must add encoding in moment, when i get word!

try using ISO-8859-5 encoding instead of UTF-8 (also in your post it's written UTF*_*8 - are you sure about that??? )

well, check this post : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8243731/translate-my-app-to-hungarian/8244281#8244281 , you may not set the correct encoding in eclipse or if you use custom font, it may not support Cyrillic letters – mihail Mar 28 '12 at 07:34
