Removing White spaces from a string for http connection

I am trying to send a query url

String url = String.format(
   "http://xxxxx/xxx/xxx&message=%s",myEditBox.getText.toString());
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
httpclient.getCookieStore().addCookie(cooki);
try {
   ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
   httpclient.getParams().setParameter("http.connection-manager.timeout", 15000);
   String response = httpclient.execute(httppost, responseHandler);

gives me error, illegal character at query. That's white space probably. How to deal with this issue?

Best Regards

Try .trim() while get value from edittext. May be whitespace come from edittext and also use "utf-8".

see below code.

String value = URLEncoder.encode(myEditBox.getText.toString().trim(), "utf-8");
String url = "http://xxxxx/xxx/xxx&message=%s" + value;

Can you try

 httpclient.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset","UTF-8");
 url="http://xxxxx/xxx/xxx&message="+URLEncoder.encode(myEditBox.getText.toString(), "UTF-8");

You need to encode your url.

String query = URLEncoder.encode(myEditBox.getText.toString(), "utf-8");
String url = "http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=" + query;
