Answer 1

I have resolve the problem,by create the XML file using UTF8 format.

OutputStreamWriter bufferedWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(filePath +
                        System.getProperty("file.separator") + fileName), "UTF8");

After create the file using the above code,the encoding problem is resolved.Thanks for every one,put the effort here.
