            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
            // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
            SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()

                is.read(buffer);

                is.close();

                json = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");

                Log.d("json", "loadJSONFromAsset: "+json);


            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Log.d("error", "loadJSONFromAsset: "+ex.toString());
                ex.printStackTrace();

Try this:

public String loadJSONFromAsset() {

    String json = null;
    try {

        Log.d("entry", "loadJSONFromAsset: "+json);

        InputStream is = getAssets().open("data.json");

        StringBuilder buf=new StringBuilder();
        BufferedReader in=
        new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8"));
        String str;

        while ((str=in.readLine()) != null) {
            buf.append(str);
        }

        in.close();

        json = buf.toString();

        Log.d("json", "loadJSONFromAsset: "+json);

    } catch (IOException ex) {
        Log.d("error", "loadJSONFromAsset: "+ex.toString());
        ex.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
    return json;
}
