I modified your AsyncTask and tested below code and its working fine. Let me know if you found any issue.
Add below dependencies
// OKHTTP
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.5.0'
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.11.0'
implementation 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.10'
and
public class GetDataFromServerIntoTextView extends AsyncTask<Void, Void,String>
{
public Context context;
public GetDataFromServerIntoTextView(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... voids) {
String strUrl = "https://api.myjson.com/bins/1cuzhn";
String data = "";
InputStream iStream = null;
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;
try {
URL url = new URL(strUrl);
// Creating an http connection to communicate with url
urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
urlConnection.connect();
// Reading data from url
iStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(iStream));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
String line = "";
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
}
data = sb.toString();
br.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d(TAG, "Exception while downloading url " + e.toString());
} finally {
try {
iStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
urlConnection.disconnect();
}
return data;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String data) {
super.onPostExecute(data);
try {
if (data != null) {
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(data);
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
// Here is your all data of distance and time
Log.e(TAG, "distance " + jsonObject.get("distance"));
Log.e(TAG, "time " + jsonObject.get("time"));
}
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "onPostExecute: null json object");
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

You are using POST request where as your api is expecting GET request
Here is more details about GET and POST
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(HttpURL);
replace this with following
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(HttpURL);
To avoid crash replace your code with
textView.setText(jsonObject.getString("distance"));
this
textView.setText(jsonObject.isNull("distance") ? "null object" : jsonObject.getString("distance"));

How to use GetJsonFromUrlTask.java in a fragment

I found the code below from a website and it seems it might help me in my android application. But the problem is, the code below is for an activity only and I need to run the code in a fragment. BTW my application is about downloading the images from the online database and storing it to a listview.
What should I do?
This is the code I want to use:
public class GetJsonFromUrlTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {
private Activity activity;
private String url;
private ProgressDialog dialog;
private final static String TAG = GetJsonFromUrlTask.class.getSimpleName();
public GetJsonFromUrlTask(Activity activity, String url) {
super();
this.activity = activity;
this.url = url;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
// Create a progress dialog
dialog = new ProgressDialog(activity);
// Set progress dialog title
dialog.setTitle("Getting JSON DATA");
// Set progress dialog message
dialog.setMessage("Loading...");
dialog.setIndeterminate(false);
// Show progress dialog
dialog.show();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
// call load JSON from url method
return loadJSON(this.url).toString();
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
((CategoryListViewActivity) activity).parseJsonResponse(result);
dialog.dismiss();
Log.i(TAG, result);
}
public JSONArray loadJSON(String url) {
// Creating JSON Parser instance
JSONGetter jParser = new JSONGetter();
// getting JSON string from URL
JSONArray json = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(url);
return json;
}
private class JSONGetter {
private InputStream is = null;
private JSONArray jObj = null;
private String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONGetter() {
}
public JSONArray getJSONFromUrl(String url) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.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 JSONArray(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
}
}

There is easy step to use AsyncTask within fragment just as follow
place code on activityCreateview
new GetJsonFromUrlTask(getActivity(), mListView).execute("");
getActivity() is method to getting your activity context in to Fragment class
Note: As you found code from website this code is a AsyncTask class you can call this code in to Activity,Fragment, any other Class also
Change code
public class GetJsonFromUrlTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {
private Context activity;
private String url;
private ProgressDialog dialog;
private final static String TAG = GetJsonFromUrlTask.class.getSimpleName();
public GetJsonFromUrlTask(Context activity, String url) {
super();
this.activity = activity;
this.url = url;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
// Create a progress dialog
dialog = new ProgressDialog(activity);
// Set progress dialog title
dialog.setTitle("Getting JSON DATA");
// Set progress dialog message
dialog.setMessage("Loading...");
dialog.setIndeterminate(false);
// Show progress dialog
dialog.show();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
// call load JSON from url method
return loadJSON(this.url).toString();
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
dialog.dismiss();
Log.i(TAG, result);
}
public JSONArray loadJSON(String url) {
// Creating JSON Parser instance
JSONGetter jParser = new JSONGetter();
// getting JSON string from URL
JSONArray json = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(url);
return json;
}
private class JSONGetter {
private InputStream is = null;
private JSONArray jObj = null;
private String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONGetter() {
}
public JSONArray getJSONFromUrl(String url) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.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 JSONArray(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON String
return jObj;

Also, I found this answer (Android strange error) but it didn't work
I would be thankful to consider this error and help me to solve that.

I know that maybe could be stupid but one error that was bother me was:
JSONObject.put(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference
This can happen even when you have not declared your json into your doInBackground.
So when you write your code don't forget to insert:
final JSONObject jsonresponse = new JSONObject();

Give your app permission to get connected to the internet in AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>

The exception is thrown here:
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
json is null, and JSONObject can't be created. Please check why json is not assigned and remains null in this code:
String json = null;
// Making HTTP request
try {
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
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 (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Why im i getting this error? When using the right username and password in the url you would get: {"error":"","session":"RANDOM NUMBER"}
And as you can see i try to fetch this number. Any help is much appreciated!

You are getting this error because in line
JSONArray shows = object.getJSONArray("error");
you are trying to get value for key error and treat is as an array, whereas it's not - it's an empty string. Therefore you need to get it as a string:
String error = object.getString("error");
Similarly, if you need to get your "session", you can get it with
String session = object.getString("session");
P.S. Note that this is assuming that your JSONObject object actually contains the object represented by the string in your question.
