Android MediaPlayer URL encode with special characters

I have a problem to get the correct sound file with the MediaPlayer. For example, when I want the audio file of the norwegian word "følelse" I make the request: "http://ift.tt/1ngrAUQ=følelse" in my browser and the correct sound file is played. But when i try the same request with the Android MediaPlayer (code below), I get the sound file of the word "folelse". The norwegian special character "ø" is not properly set up. Even when I encode this part of the url. When I print the String "request" the result is: "http://ift.tt/1ktZF55" and this works fine with my desktop browser, but unfortunately not with the MediaPlayer.

Can anybody help me or can give me a hint for a correct solution?

My code is:

        MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
        String encoded = URLEncoder.encode(text, "UTF-8");

        URI uri = new URI(
                "http",
                "translate.google.com",
                "/translate_tts",
                "tl=no&q=følelse",
                null);
        String request = uri.toASCIIString();

        mediaPlayer.setDataSource(request);
        mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
        mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
                mediaPlayer.start();
            }
        });
