Java on Android Decoding a string

I'm calling IIS web methods from a java app on an Android device.

The IIS web method returns a JSON string that looks like this:

I'm trying to decode it - get rid of the \'s in front on the double-quotes - and turn those \u003c and e's into <> brackets.

I am using this code

and it's doing nothing to the string.

So I'm guessing this is NOT URL encoded - it's some other kind of encoding.

Any help greatly appreciated - thanks!
