It would be better to be explicit if an 8k-char buffer is required. [ERROR]

Question

I'm developing a ListView that shows data from mysql database, but I am getting the following error in logcat:

It would be better to be explicit if an 8k-char buffer is required.

Can anyone help me with this?

Here is the line in logcat:

07-16 03:49:16.388: I/global(391): Default buffer size used in BufferedReader constructor. It would be better to be explicit if an 8k-char buffer is required.

Answer 1

Change this line from:

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is,"UTF-8"));

to this:

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is,"UTF-8"), 8192);

It should remove that message
