Fetch JSONObject value from a JSON data object

I have following json data
{
"TestMetrics": {
"ProcessPID": "7887",
"MemSwapped": "0",
"Uptime": "407",
"webTiming": "{\"domainLookupStart\":3,\"domainLookupEnd\":67}"}
}
From this i need to fetch the webTiming json object.
For that i used following code
JSONObject launchMetricsObj = new JSONObject(jsonData);
try {
JSONObject objc = launchMetricsObj.getJSONObject("TestMetrics");
JSONObject webtimingObj = objc.getJSONObject("webTiming");
System.out.println(webtimingObj:::::: " +webtimingObj);
} catch (JSONException e) {
System.out.println("Exception:" + e);
}
As the "webTiming" value is a JSONObject i tried to get it as
JSONObject webtimingObj = objc.getJSONObject("webTiming");
But I observed following Exception:
JSON Objectorg.codehaus.jettison.json.JSONException: JSONObject["webTiming"] is not a JSONObject.

It's because webTiming is defined as a string, not JSONObject.
In order to convert it, you need to do:
JSONObject webtimingObj = new JSONObject(objc.getString("webTiming"));

Removing backslash from JSON format while programmatically constructing a JSON array

I want to parse the JSON data by removing the backslash from the JSON format.
I have tried removing the backslash from the JSON format by the following code but nothing worked out
JSONArray packsJSON = new JSONArray();
JsonObject innerObject;
for(PackageList packageList:selecteditem)
{
innerObject=new JsonObject();
innerObject.addProperty("pack_id",packageList.getSubs_id());
innerObject.addProperty("pack_dsc", packageList.getSubs_desc());
innerObject.addProperty("pack_tax_amt", packageList.getTax_amnt());
innerObject.addProperty("pack_grand_total", packageList.getSubs_grnd_tot_prc());
Log.i("INNEROBJECT","hyu"+innerObject);
packsJSON.put(innerObject);
Log.i("PACKJSON","nkd==>>"+packsJSON)
}
output of INNEROBJECT:
{"pack_id":"39","pack_dsc":"350 Package","pack_tax_amt":"0","pack_grand_total":"419"}
The output of PACKJSON:
[ "{\"pack_id\":\"39\",\"pack_dsc\":\"350 Package\",\"pack_tax_amt\":\"0\",\"pack_grand_total\":\"419\"}",
"{\"pack_id\":\"2232\",\"pack_dsc\":\"Bangara(280)\",\"pack_tax_amt\":\"0\",\"pack_grand_total\":\"280\"}"
]
[
"{"pack_id":"39","pack_dsc":"350 Package","pack_tax_amt":"0","pack_grand_total":"419"}",
"{"pack_id":"2232","pack_dsc":"Bangara(280)","pack_tax_amt":"0","pack_grand_total":"280"}"
]

Your JSONArray is of org.json package and JsonObject is of com.google.gson package
so your innerObject's type should be org.json.JSONObject
JSONArray packsJSON = new JSONArray();
JSONObject innerObject;
for(PackageList packageList:selecteditem)
{
innerObject=new JSONObject();
innerObject.put("pack_id",packageList.getSubs_id());
innerObject.put("pack_dsc", packageList.getSubs_desc());
innerObject.put("pack_tax_amt", packageList.getTax_amnt());
innerObject.put("pack_grand_total", packageList.getSubs_grnd_tot_prc());
Log.i("INNEROBJECT","hyu"+innerObject);
packsJSON.put(innerObject);
Log.i("PACKJSON","nkd==>>"+packsJSON)
}

Please check below answer.
String jsonString = "[ "{\"pack_id\":\"39\",\"pack_dsc\":\"350 Package\",\"pack_tax_amt\":\"0\",\"pack_grand_total\":\"419\"}","{\"pack_id\":\"2232\",\"pack_dsc\":\"Bangara(280)\",\"pack_tax_amt\":\"0\",\"pack_grand_total\":\"280\"}"]"
String outputString = jsonString.replaceAll("\\\\", "");
Log.e("Clear String :", outputString);
OUTPUT

Google Places detail "photos[]" jsonarray is always null

So I get place_id by storing it in a Hashmap with the "name" of the place as the key.
private HashMap<String, String> placeTitleId = new HashMap<>();
if (!place.isNull("place_id")) {
placeId = place.getString("place_id");
placeTitleId.put(name, placeId);
}
Later, I create the Places Detail search url:
private String createPlaceDetailsUrl(String placeId) {
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?");
stringBuilder.append("placeid=").append(placeId);
stringBuilder.append("&key=").append(GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY);
return stringBuilder.toString();
}
Finally, I parse the json response:
JSONObject data = new JSONObject(result);
if (data.getString("status").equalsIgnoreCase("OK")) {
JSONArray photoArray = data.getJSONArray("photos");
}
What I don't understand is why the "photos" json array has no value
Android Monitor: W/System.err: org.json.JSONException: No value for photos
The documentation says that the photos[] jsonarray should have up to 10 photos. However, the json output schema does not contain a photos[] object, which I find weird. Is there a problem with how I am obtaining place_id or parsing the response?
EDIT:
The "result" String is incredibly long, but I can provide a gist:
result {
"address components" : [
*bunch of stuff*
]
...
"geometry" : {
*bunch of stuff*
}
"icon"
"id"
"photos" : [
{
"height"
"html_attributions:
"photo_reference!!
}
{
...
"photo_reference!!
}
*bunch more of these*
]
}
EDIT:
Fix is getting json object "result
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(result);
JSONObject data = new JSONObject("result");
The data object has "pictures"

Try this.
JSONObject data = new JSONObject(result);
// add log here ,make sure you have photos in your result
Log.e("result", result + "");
if (data.getString("status").equalsIgnoreCase("OK")) {
// edited here
JSONArray photoArray = data.optJSONArray("photos");
}
Edit
if (data .has("photos")) {
Log.e("photos", "photos exists");
} else {
Log.e("photos", "photos not exists");
}
Use data .has("photos") in your code and judge it .
Note
Use
JSONObject data = new JSONObject(result);
if(data.has("TAG")){
// if has it in your data,do something
}
to determine whether this tag is present in the data

parse json array in android

I need a help... I have a php file which returns me two json Arrays which are as follows:
[{ "id":"1",
"item":"hammers",
"aisle":"20"
}
{ "id":"1",
"item":"hammers",
"aisle":"20"
}]
[{ "id":"1",
"itemFound":"Your item #item",
"ThankYou":"and Thank You for using Txtcore!"
}]
Now, I want to get the second array items in Android. I have the following code now which is like :
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(result);
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
items.add(jsonObject.getString("item"));
aisles.add(""+jsonObject.getString("item");
}
But obviously, that returns me the objects from the first array. I want to get the Objects from the second array. Any suggestions.

Your JSON is not valid but u can get your element as follows. It is a solution from many(just a worlaround).
String str = "YOUR_JSON_RESPONSE";
String array[] = str.split("\\[\\{");//
try {
JSONArray jsonArray=new JSONArray("[{" + array[2]));
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

I guess you'll have to do some dirty coding because the data return by the PHP page is not well formed JSON.
You could try to transform the JSON data to:
{ "data" : [ <array_1>, <array_2> ]} And then use the JSON parser. A simple replacement with a regexp could be fine.
result.replaceAll("\\]\\s*\\[", "], [");
StringBuffer buffer=new StringBuffer(result);
buffer.insert(0,"{ \"data\": ");
buffer.append(" }");
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(buffer.toString());
JSONArray secondArray= jsonObject.getJSONArray("data").getJSONArray(1);
The creation of a valid JSON string can be done in one step with the appropriate regexp. Hope some one with more time can post it here.

Parsing String to JsonObject using GSON gives IllegalStateException: This is not a JSON Object

I have the following code:
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
System.out.println("gson.toJson: " + gson.toJson(roomList));
JsonObject json2 = parser.parse("{\"b\":\"c\"}").getAsJsonObject();
System.out.println("json2: " + json2);
JsonObject json = parser.parse(gson.toJson(roomList)).getAsJsonObject();
System.out.println("json: " + json);
It gives me the following output:
gson.toJson: [{"id":"8a3d16bb328c9ba201328c9ba5db0000","roomID":9411,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328b9f3a01328b9f3bb80000","roomID":1309,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328ba09101328ba09edd0000","roomID":1304,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bb8af640000","roomID":4383,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bd271fe0001","roomID":5000,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bd2e0e30002","roomID":2485,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bd3087b0003","roomID":6175,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bd35a840004","roomID":3750,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bd366250005","roomID":370,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"},{"id":"402881e4328bb83601328bd3807d0006","roomID":9477,"numberOfUsers":4,"roomType":"BigTwo"}]
json2: {"b":"c"}
java.lang.IllegalStateException: This is not a JSON Object.
Can someone please help me parse my Json string to JsonObject? I have checked in http://jsonlint.com/ that my json is valid though.

It's because due to the JSON structure..
I have to put it into a JSONObject first, like so
JsonObject jsonObj = new JsonObject();
jsonObj.addProperty(ServerConstants.JSONoutput, gson.toJson(roomList));
Then I would deserialize like
List<RoomData> roomList = gson.fromJson(jsonObj.get(CardGameConstants.JSONoutput).toString(), listType);
for (RoomData roomData : roomList) {
System.out.println(roomData.getRoomID());
}

This should give you some basic idea.
ArrayList<String> roomTypes = new ArrayList<String>();
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonString);
for(int i =0; i<jsonArray.length(); i++){
roomTypes.add(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("roomType"));
}

The problem with the code is that roomList is not a JsonObject as evident in the printed output. It's actually a JsonArray.
To fix the code, call .getAsJsonArray() (instead of .getAsJsonObject())
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
System.out.println("gson.toJson: " + gson.toJson(roomList));
JsonObject json2 = parser.parse("{\"b\":\"c\"}").getAsJsonObject();
System.out.println("json2: " + json2);
JsonArray json = parser.parse(gson.toJson(roomList)).getAsJsonArray();
System.out.println("json: " + json);
