Getting the right accentuation from Google API Geocode - Android

Question

I am using http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode to get and address from some coordinates.

When I get the Json response on the APP, any character that has accentuation comes out with a "error" ---> ó = A³

My APP is coded in UTF-8

Here is the part of the code that get's the info from the API

JSONArray results = jsonObject.getJSONArray("results");

JSONObject r = results.getJSONObject(0);
JSONArray addressComponentsArray = r.getJSONArray("address_components");

JSONObject addressComponents = addressComponentsArray.getJSONObject(0);
numero = addressComponents.getString("short_name");
Log.i("Número", numero);

JSONObject addressComponents1 = addressComponentsArray.getJSONObject(1);
rua = addressComponents1.getString("long_name");
Log.i("Rua", rua);

And here is the whole class

class EncontrarEndereco extends AsyncTask<String, String, JSONObject> {

        ProgressDialog pDialog = new ProgressDialog(GPSActivity.this);

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute(){
            super.onPreExecute();
            pDialog.setMessage("Aguarde, enquanto buscamos seu endereço");
            pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
            pDialog.setCancelable(false);
            pDialog.show();
        }


        double lat = -19.971864410192393;
        double lng = -43.97544760674483;

        HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet("http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng="+lat+","+lng+"&sensor=true&language=pt&region=BR");

        HttpResponse response;
        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

        protected JSONObject doInBackground (String... args){
            try {
                response = client.execute(httpGet);
                HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
                InputStream stream = entity.getContent();
                int b;
                while ((b = stream.read()) != -1) {
                    stringBuilder.append((char) b);
                }
            } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            } catch (IOException e) {
            }

            JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
            try {

            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return jsonObject;
        }

        protected void onPostExecute(final JSONObject jsonObject) {
            // Dismiss a caixa de dialogo depois de buscar todos os items


            String numero;

            pDialog.dismiss();

            Log.i("JSON string =>", jsonObject.toString());

            try {
                String status = jsonObject.getString("status");
                Log.i("status", status);

                if(status.equalsIgnoreCase("OK")){

Answer 1

Here what solved my problem, the bit handle the Inputstream

char[] buffer = new char[2048];
Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(entity.getContent(), "UTF-8");
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

while (true) {
    int n = reader.read(buffer);
    if (n < 0) {
        break;
    }
    stringBuilder.append(buffer, 0, n);
}

Here it is inside the whole code.
