String nickName="网名";

String url =“http://localhost:8080/updateUser/+userID+"/"+nickName+"/"+email+”/“;

1) Solution one:

Response<Map> jsonData = Rest.get(url).contentType("charset=utf-8").acceptJson().getAsJsonMap();

2) Solution two:

ConnectionRequest request = new ConnectionRequest();
            request.setPost(false);
            request.setUrl(url);
            request.addRequestHeader("contentType", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
            request.setReadRequest(true);
            NetworkManager.getInstance().addToQueueAndWait(request);

Both solutions couldn't encode Chinese into UTF-8 format by using solution one and two, even I put the charset=utf-8.

This is because it isn't the request content but URL get parametters

So you should probably do something like:

String nickName="网名";

String utf8nickName = new String(nickName.getBytes(), "UTF-8"); 

String url =“http://localhost:8080/updateUser/+userID+"/"+utf8nickName +"/"+email+”/“;

Almost, this should be url encoded with % notation:

String utf8nickName = Util.encodeUrl(nickName);

This should also be done for the email as the @ character should be %40: Util.encodeUrl(email).

Thanks for replying, but I received error message return after encode with UTF-8.

Did you use the methods I mentioned?

You don't need to UTF encode.

[green...@gmail.com]

I did use the method which you gave, but receive the error. And the solution which given by Shai is working.

 The problem is solved by  using "String utf8nickName = Util.encodeUrl(nickName);".

Thanks!
