How to use back slash in android json

I had a scenario where I need to give back slash for a key in JSON put method like below 

json.put("path" , " \\abx\2010\341\test.PDF");

The value I gave for path key shows error.

How to handle this case?

If you want to show like this, JSON file should be as below.

"path" : " \\abx\2010\341\test.PDF"

JSON also \ represent as \ in java special characters. Then java code should be as below.

json.put("path" , " \\\\abx\\2010\\341\\test.PDF");

You need to write double slash instead of one: \\ So your code become:

json.put("path" , " \\\\abx\\2010\\341\\test.PDF");

double \\ = single \ in string ""

json.put("path","\\abx\\2010\\341\\test.PDF");

You need to escape \.

Try json.put("path" , " \\abx\\2010\\341\\test.PDF");

You can learn more about it under Escape Sequences.
