load image from url with arabic characters

In my application i need to load images from several urls into a Gridview. The problem is that my urls contain arabic characters and images aren't downloaded. I tested my app with English url and it's working fine, but i have problem with arabic ones. I have tried this to decode url but it's not working:

String result = URLDecoder.decode(imageUrls.get(j), "UTF-8");

also tried this:

connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", "UTF-8");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8");

Snippet to download bitmap:

for(j=0; j<imageUrls.size(); j++){
    try {
    String result = URLDecoder.decode(imageUrls.get(j), "UTF-8");
        URL url=new URL(result);
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", "UTF-8");
        connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8");
        connection.setDoInput(true);
        connection.connect();
        InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
        Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
        btarray.add(bitmap);
    } catch (Exception ex) {

    }
    }

and have 

imageview.setImageBitmap(btarray.get(position));

in ImageAdapter getView method.

urls are like this: http://www.dalass.com/1/ShowPage.php?View=252-%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%AE%D9%86-DALASS-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B3.jpg

You must use Uri.encode(String)

   //String result = URLDecoder.decode(imageUrls.get(j), "UTF-8");
   String result = Uri.encode(imageUrls.get(j));
   URL url = new URL(result);

Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
String encodeUriString = Uri.encode(uri.getLastPathSegment());
String uriString = uri.toString().replace(uri.getLastPathSegment(), encodeUriString);
Log.d(TAG, uriString);
