I'm using the answer from another SO post and I'm getting an exception JSONArray cannot be converted to JSONObject. How can I get this resolved?

Here is the answer I'm using How to implement Login with HttpURLConnection and PHP server in Android
Here is my JSONParser.java:
package com.example.android.simplejson;
import android.util.Log;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLEncoder;
import java.util.HashMap;
public class JSONParser {
String charset = "UTF-8";
HttpURLConnection conn; // Connection
DataOutputStream wr; // Write
StringBuilder result;
URL urlObj;
JSONObject jObj = null;
StringBuilder sbParams;
String paramsString;
public JSONObject makeHttpRequest(String url, String method,
HashMap<String, String> params) {
sbParams = new StringBuilder();
int i = 0;
for (String key : params.keySet()) {
try {
if (i != 0){
sbParams.append("&");
}
sbParams.append(key).append("=")
.append(URLEncoder.encode(params.get(key), charset));
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
i++;
}
if (method.equals("POST")) {
// request method is POST
try {
urlObj = new URL("my_url");
conn = (HttpURLConnection) urlObj.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", charset);
conn.setReadTimeout(10000);
conn.setConnectTimeout(15000);
conn.connect();
paramsString = sbParams.toString();
wr = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
wr.writeBytes(paramsString);
wr.flush();
wr.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
else if(method.equals("GET")){
// request method is GET
try {
urlObj = new URL("my_url");
conn = (HttpURLConnection) urlObj.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(false);
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", charset);
conn.setConnectTimeout(15000);
conn.connect();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
try {
//Receive the response from the server
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
result = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
result.append(line);
Log.d("Response: ", "> " + line); //here you'll get the whole response
}
Log.d("JSON Parser", "result: " + result.toString());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
conn.disconnect();
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(result.toString());
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON Object
return jObj;
}
}
Here is a snippet of my MainActivity.java:
class checkLogin extends AsyncTask<String, String, JSONObject> {
JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser();
private ProgressDialog pd;
private static final String LOGIN_URL = "my_url";
private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
private static final String TAG_MESSAGE = "message";
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pd = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
pd.setMessage("Attempting login...");
pd.setIndeterminate(false);
pd.setCancelable(true);
pd.show();
}
protected JSONObject doInBackground(String... params) {
try {
HashMap<String, String> credentials = new HashMap<>();
credentials.put("username", params[0]);
credentials.put("password", params[1]);
Log.d("request", "starting");
JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(
LOGIN_URL, "POST", credentials);
if (json != null) {
Log.d("JSON result", json.toString());
return json;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(JSONObject json) {
int success = 0;
String message = "";
if (pd != null && pd.isShowing()) {
pd.dismiss();
}
if (json != null) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, json.toString(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
try {
success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);
message = json.getString(TAG_MESSAGE);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
if (success == 1) {
Log.d("Success!", message);
} else {
Log.d("Failure", message);
}
}
}
}
It gets a JSONArray from the server [{"AuthStatus":true,"AuthMessage":"This is my sample message","username":"username=&password="}]
My problem is the JSONArray can't be converted to JSONObject. So what can I change in my code to return the JSONArray as jObj? My ultimate goal is to set the text in my main activity as [{"AuthStatus":true,"AuthMessage":"This is my sample message","username":"username=&password="}].
Thanks!

You can't parse a JSON array as a JSON object. First you have to parse the payload as an array and then get the object from it.
public JSONObject makeHttpRequest(String url, String method,
HashMap<String, String> params) {
// ...
try {
JSONArray jArr = new JSONArray(result.toString());
jObj = jArr.getJSONObject(0);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON Object
return jObj;
}

Refer the below exampe :
String str = {"xyz":[{"name":"apple","email_id":"apple#apple.com"}]};
JSONObject json = JSONObject.fromObject(str);
So essentially your response is in format of a JSONArray [{"AuthStatus":true,"AuthMessage":"This is my sample message","username":"username=&password="}]'
where it should have been something like
{"response": [{"AuthStatus":true,"AuthMessage":"This is my sample message","username":"username=&password="}]}
or simply
{"AuthStatus":true,"AuthMessage":"This is my sample message","username":"username=&password="}
depending on your preference. If you are always going to return a single JSONObject (probably as this is a login service response) there is no need to use the square braces which makes it a JSONArray.

Android studio http response returns caught exception

I want to get response from url but it returns caught exception.
In detail, I created activity which will get two input variable emailid and password.
There is one login button, clicking on the login button will invoke the getquizzes function.
Here is the code that I am using:
public void getquizzes(View view) {
emailid = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.email);
ipassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password);
Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP | Gravity.LEFT, 10, 10);
// Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
// toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, emailid.getText(), toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
String rurl = "http://www.savsoftquiz.com/quizdemo/index.php/verifylogin/api_login/" + emailid.getText() + "/" + ipassword.getText();
Toast.makeText(this, verifylogin(rurl), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
private String verifylogin(String rurl){
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(rurl);
try {
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
if(response != null) {
String line = "";
InputStream inputstream = response.getEntity().getContent();
line = convertStreamToString(inputstream);
return line;
} else {
return "Unable to complete your request";
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
return "Caught ClientProtocolException";
} catch (IOException e) {
return "Caught IOException";
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Caught Exception";
}
}
private String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {
String line = "";
StringBuilder total = new StringBuilder();
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
try {
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
total.append(line);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Stream Exception", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
return total.toString();
}

Use this format. Also store your edit text value in string variable.
class Login extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
String email ;
String pass ;
JSONObject json=null;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
List<NameValuePair> parametres = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
// getting JSON string from URL
parametres.add(new BasicNameValuePair("email", email));
parametres.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", pass));
JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(url,
"GET", parametres);
try {
// Checking for SUCCESS TAG
int success = json.getInt(KEY_SUCCESS);
if (success == 1) {
//yourcode
}
return json.getString(TAG_MESSAGE);
} else {
return json.getString(TAG_MESSAGE);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
}
}

json post request java not send data to server

please , you try this manner to make request.

$email = $this->input->$_POST('email')
use this way any try to do . change post to $_POST['variable name']. as i tell this , you write to server side PHP. in PHP get and post method we access $_GET and $_POST.

I have a small problem with my code and I can't find why. I get the error parsing data for my email value.

[EDIT2] I get : Mail Sent. {"success":0,"message":"Database Error2. Please Try Again !"} The problem is in my query I guess?
Arnaud

From server side,
you need to send
{"success":0,"message":"Database Error2. Please Try Again !"}
instead of
Mail Sent. {"success":0,"message":"Database Error2. Please Try Again !"}

get JSONException: Value of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject when parsing a JSON response
Likely that your web service is not returning correct JSON.

i wanted to put some comment but i should have at list 50 reputation!!! so i should give my answer here... i had same problem with json object. use "GET" method instead of "POST". try it...
USE THIS JSON PARSER
public class JSONParser extends Activity{
static InputStream is = null;
static JSONObject jObj = null;
static String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONParser() {
}
// function get json from url
// by making HTTP POST or GET mehtod
public JSONObject makeHttpRequest(String url, String method,
List<NameValuePair> params) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// check for request method
if(method == "POST"){
// request method is POST
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}else if(method == "GET"){
// request method is GET
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
String paramString = URLEncodedUtils.format(params, "utf-8");
url += "?" + paramString;
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
Log.e("JSON PARSER", "GET OR POST");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Something is wrong with network!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
json="";
create_JSon_Object();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {

Log.e("JSON PARSER", "GET OR POST");
json="";
return create_JSon_Object();
} catch (IOException e) {

return create_JSon_Object();
}
try {

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
json = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Something is wrong with network!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.e("JSON PARSER Buffer Error", "Error converting result ");
json="";
return create_JSon_Object();
}
return create_JSon_Object();
}
private JSONObject create_JSon_Object() {
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {

jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {

httpPost not working using asynctask - giving invalid index, size is 0 exception

In order to avoid executing the http relating things in the UI thread, i migrated my code inside asynctask, before that, it was working fine on versions before 3.0 -- however, after literally copy pasting the code inside asynctask, it started to giving the invalid index, size is 0 exception. Whenever I need to use the method I am applying the call --
new dataRetrievalViaAsyncTask().execute(url, null, null); --
Whats wrong down there ?
class dataRetrievalViaAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void>
{
#Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(String... f_url)
{
Log.i("tag", "inside doInBackground");
String url2 = f_url[0];
Log.i("tag", url2);
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
Log.i("tag", "done : HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();");
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url2);
Log.i("tag", "done : HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);");
try
{
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
Log.i("tag", "done : httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));");
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
Log.i("tag", "done : HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);");
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
Log.i("tag", "done : HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();");
is = entity.getContent();
Log.i("tag", "after : is = entity.getContent();");
} catch (Exception e)
{
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection", e);
}
// convert response to string
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute()
{
try
{
Log.i("tag","before : BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new Inp");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(reader.readLine() + "\n");
String line = "0";
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
{
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
result = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e)
{
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection", e);
}
try
{
Log.i("tag", "before : jsons ");
jArray = new JSONArray(result);
JSONObject json_data = null;
Log.i("tag", Integer.toString(jArray.length()));
for (int i = 0; i < jArray.length(); i++)
{
json_data = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
uid = json_data.getInt("uid");
item1= json_data.getString("item1");
item2 = json_data.getString("item2");
item3 = json_data.getString("item3");
item4 = json_data.getString("item4");
item5 = json_data.getString("item5");
item6 = json_data.getString("item6");
favorited = json_data.getString("favorited");
currentList.add(new itemClass(uid, item1 item2)); //there is a constructor for this in the itemClass
itemClass toSendToOffline = new itemsClass(uid, item1, item2, item3, item4, item5, item6, favorited);
myDBHelper.insertFromOnlineToDBtoSendToOffline();
}
} catch (JSONException e1)
{
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Not Found", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (ParseException e1)
{
e1.printStackTrace();
}
super.onPostExecute(null);
}
}
(mainly the code is stopping at --
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

I can not see nameValuePairs variable initialized anywhere, which is actually causing problem.

String URL = "";

put this code in your code and pass arguments ass you need this is the way how i request to server and get json response as string from result variable pass arguments to your url as i passed by making json object then convert them to string
then execute like this............
dataRetrievalViaAsyncTask asyncTask=new dataRetrievalViaAsyncTask(Yoururl);
asyncTask.execute();
hope this will help if you have some issues please post here thanks......
