JSON Response from Django in Android

Question

I am trying to get a jSON response in Android from my Django based web backend. The response I am getting is

03-19 16:32:32.120: I/System.out(7442): This si          


        

Answer 1

TL;DR
httpconn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");

HttpURLConnection's default "Accept" HttpHeader value is text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, /; q=.2

When text/html is used django returns JSON wrapped with HTML. In case when plain JSON is needed, Accept HttpHeader value should be set to 'application/json'
