Apache.commons.io.IOUtils error from memory

Question

I use the following code to get a string representation of the server response. The problem is that it throws an exception in memory when it tries to pass the response toString() . This code works on Android.

 String resp = IOUtils.toString(resEntity.getContent(), "UTF-8"); HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url); httpGet.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json"); httpGet.setHeader("Accept", "JSON"); HttpResponse httpResponse = httpclient.execute(httpGet); HttpEntity resEntity = httpResponse.getEntity(); if (resEntity != null) { //String resp = EntityUtils.toString(resEntity); String resp = IOUtils.toString(resEntity.getContent(), "UTF-8"); // exception here Log.i(TAG, resp); // ........ // gosn parser code here // ........ }
