Retrieving JSON data

Im working on JSON data that does not provide me content-length so i have tried the second option of getting the JSON content without getting the content-length HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpget); StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine(); responseCode = statusLine.getStatusCode();

            if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
                InputStream content = entity.getContent();
                BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(content));
                String line;
                while((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
                    builder.append(line);
                }

                jsonResponse = new JSONObject(builder.toString());
                Log.i(TAG, "successful HTTP response data:" + jsonResponse);
            }
            else {
                Log.i(TAG, String.format("Unsuccessful HTTP response code: %d", responseCode));
            }

now the problem is i dont get the complete content showing in Log.i in logcat . its just shows total 25 Characters which is incomplete data when i debug it i get the below information builder = {java.lang.StringBuilder@831724340992}"{"data":{"campaigns":[]}}" value = {char[26]@831724485904} shared = true count = 25 if someone could please help me in finding out what is wrong over here.

A valid HTTP request should contain the content length. What is your JSON endpoint?

@miguelcastro2 I new to this could please explain what exactly do mean by endpoint.

What is the URL of the JSON you are trying to download? The request to this URL should provide a value content length.

Never mind i fixed it thanks :)
