Uri builder returning jumbled URI

So, I'm trying to append an ID parameter to the end of a URI that the user will be sent to when he clicks on an item in my list. My code is as follows:

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) {
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    //items.get(pos) returns the UPI needed. Append to http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/our_staff/vcard.php?upi=
    Uri.Builder b = Uri.parse("http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/our_staff/vcard.php?upi=").buildUpon();
    b.appendEncodedPath(items.get(pos));
    Uri uri = b.build();
    i.setData(uri);
    Log.d("URL of staff", uri.toString());
    activity.startActivity(i);      
}

Now, I am supposed to get a URI of the form:

http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/our_staff/vcard.php?upi=pden001

for example. But the Logcat shows that the URI obtained is actually

http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/our_staff/vcard.php/pden001?upi=

Why does it append pden001 to the middle?

I have tried appendPath() as well with the same results, and the Android Developer Tutorial is not very helpful in this case.

The Uri builder is handling the base URI differently from the query parameters, but you've combined them in this string:

"http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/our_staff/vcard.php?upi="

What I think you should do is leave ?upi= off of your string literal, and then append your upi parameter and pden001 value using the appendQueryParameter() method:

  //items.get(pos) returns the UPI needed. Append to http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/our_staff/vcard.php
  Uri.Builder b = Uri.parse("http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/our_staff/vcard.php").buildUpon();
  b.appendQueryParameter("upi", items.get(pos));
  Uri uri = b.build();
  i.setData(uri);
