15,353 PointsNegativeArraySizeException Blog Reader App
I've completed the Blog Reader App tutorial and it worked like a charm. Trying to change the url from the teamtreehouse blog to my own custom link which returns a jsonarray, i've got the exception NegativeArraySizeException: -1. Found out which line of the code got me this exception and it was : char[] charArray = new char[contentLength]; The code is the same as the blog reader app and i believe the problem is getting the contentlength of the connection. After the exception i checked the value of connection.getContentLength() and i got -1 as answer. Got any suggestions?

The api that returns the json must return the following headers: header('Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8'); for json reponse and : header('Content-Encoding: null'); for no gzip encoding.
Cheers.
