How To Receive data from website using JSON for android?

I created a class for my android application that connects to mysql database using json.. note that the php code getNews.php is tested and it responds with the required data in json format properly. And note that i only want to get an array containing the data with this class ArrayReceiver.java ... it isn't working though... can anyone check the code please.
ArrayReceiver.java
package com.example.batoul.uptodate4;

import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
import org.json.JSONArray;

import org.json.JSONObject;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class ArrayReceiver extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
List<Article> a=new ArrayList<Article>();
String url="192.168.11.8/utd/getNews.php";
Boolean error = false;
private ProgressDialog pDialog;
Boolean success = false;
String msg = "";
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
public List<Article> getA() {
return a;
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg) {
publishProgress(2);
// agendaArrayList = new ArrayList<>();
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<>();
try {
// params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("notActivated", "false"));
ServiceHandler serviceClient = new ServiceHandler();
String json = serviceClient.makeServiceCall(url,
ServiceHandler.POST, params);
// Log.e("aaa ", "> " + ServiceHandler.url);
// Log.d("Create Response: ", "> " + json);
if (json != null) {
try {
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(json);
if (jsonObj != null) {
//int catObj22 = jsonObj.getInt("success");
// if (catObj22 == 1) {
JSONArray titles = jsonObj.getJSONArray("title");
for (int i = 0; i < titles.length(); i++) {
String catObj = (String) titles.get(i);
Article obj = new Article(0,"");
obj.setTitle(catObj);
a.add(obj);
}
success = true;
} else {
success = false;
}
// }
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else {
Log.e("JSON Data", "Didn't receive any data from server!");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
error = true;
return null;
}
Log.e("aaa ", " success");
return "success";
}
#Override

JSONParser from androidhive tutorial, NoSuchMethodError in DefaultHttpClient

I'm following this tutorial, and getting this error:
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method execute(Lorg/apache/http/client/methods/HttpUriRequest;)Lorg/apache/http/client/methods/CloseableHttpResponse; in class Lorg/apache/http/impl/client/DefaultHttpClient; or its super classes (declaration of 'org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient' appears in /system/framework/ext.jar)

DefaultHttpClient was deprecated in api level 22, and removed in api level 23.
The documentation was even removed from the Android documentation, here is the link to where the documentation was previously, and you can see where it re-directs to:
http://developer.android.com/reference/org/apache/http/impl/client/DefaultHttpClient.html
Quote just in case the re-direct changes:
Android 6.0 release removes support for the Apache HTTP client. If
your app is using this client and targets Android 2.3 (API level 9) or
higher, use the HttpURLConnection class instead. This API is more
efficient because it reduces network use through transparent
compression and response caching, and minimizes power consumption.
I created an updated version of the JSONParser class that you're using, here it is:

Example AsyncTask for Post:

} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
if (success == 1) {
Log.d("Success!", message);
}else{

json post request java not send data to server

I try to Create a class which is unique to all json request and try to send json request from it to server. It takes only request url and json StringEntity only. Request send but problem is when i try to access data from server can't find that post data.
JSONClinet.java

}
Server accss code is here.
There email and lat and lng to send to server.
<?php
//set content type to json
header('Content-type: application/json');
$email = $this->input->post("email");
$lat = $this->input->post('lat');
$lng = $this->input->post('lng');
$status = array("STATUS"=>"false");

$status = array("STATUS"=>"true");

}
}
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.

Thanks for any help.
[Edit] Here is my web service :
<?php
try {
$to = $_POST['emailForgot'];
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "track_my_mate#example.com";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
$randome = 'pierre';
$query = "UPDATE 'users' SET 'password' = ? WHERE 'id' = ? ";
//Again, we need to update our tokens with the actual data:
$query_params = array(
':pass' => $randome,
':user' => $_POST['username']
);
//time to run our query, and create the user
try {
$stmt = $db->prepare($query);
$result = $stmt->execute($query_params);
}
catch (PDOException $ex) {
// For testing, you could use a die and message.
//die("Failed to run query: " . $ex->getMessage());
//or just use this use this one:
$response["success"] = 0;
$response["message"] = "Database Error2. Please Try Again!";
die(json_encode($response));
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
$response["success"] = 0;
$response["message"] = "Please Try Again!";
}
//If we have made it this far without dying, we have successfully added
//a new user to our database. We could do a few things here, such as
//redirect to the login page. Instead we are going to echo out some
//json data that will be read by the Android application, which will login
//the user (or redirect to a different activity, I'm not sure yet..)
$response["success"] = 1;
$response["message"] = "Password Successfully Changed!";
try {
echo json_encode($response);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo ("pierre");
}
//for a php webservice you could do a simple redirect and die.
//header("Location: login.php");
//die("Redirecting to login.php");
//}
?>
[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...

EDIT (Answer)
JSONParser
Inside of JSONParser I changed my code to this:
public class JSONParser {
static InputStream is = null;
static JSONObject jObj = null;
static String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONParser() {
}
public JSONObject getJSONFromUrl(String url) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
HttpUriRequest request = new HttpGet(url);
request.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
HttpEntity httpEntity = response.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
json = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
}
Inside of onPostExecute
JSONArray begin = json.getJSONArray(TAG_BEGIN);
for (int i = 0; i < begin(); i++) {
try {
JSONObject b = = begin(i);
String id = b.getString(TAG_ID);
String name = b.getString(TAG_NAME);
String size = b.getString(TAG_SIZE);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

First make sure your JSONObject is not null. Then slowly transverse line by line based off the type.
JSONArray begin = json.getJSONArray(TAG_BEGIN);
Then possibly do something like this?
for(int n = 0; n < begin.length(); n++)
{
JSONObject object = begin.getJSONObject(n);
// query through the array
String id = object.getString(TAG_ID);
String name = object.getString(TAG_NAME);
String size = object.getString(TAG_SIZE);
//Now do something with the strings
}
Of course you'd do the same thing with the TAG_OPEN. Let me know if this works, I'll gladly help as much as possible.

the error shows that the return string of you http request is not only the json data
something like <!DOCTYPE are includeed
please check you are request the right url, and the server handle the request correctly
you can use your browser visit the url you request and check the return result

I am not using a fragment but here is similar solution.
Change your url and key values for retrieving values from json. I didn't have your url so i used some other. Please check it out. Same concept except i am not using fragments but this json parsing code works just fine.
First of all, you have to deal with the network on main thread exception
Add:
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
in your class,
and
