Answer 1

The command

result.replaceAll("\\","");

is correct and if you try to display the server response with an online json formatter (https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/) you can clearly see that the string is not correctly formatted. The double quotes after the "response" and one at the end are not required.

UPDATED: August 2019 Use google's Gson for parsing to Json by omitting backslash automatically:

JAVA CODE:

    JsonParser jsonParser = new JsonParser();
    JsonObject jsonObject = jsonParser.parse("your jsonString with backslash").getAsJsonObject();

KOTLIN CODE:

    val jsonParser = JsonParser()
    val jsonObject = jsonParser.parse("your jsonString with backslash").asJsonObject
