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

public class ArrayReceiver extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
List<Article> a=new ArrayList<Article>();

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;
}
// }

this my PHP & Java : http://www.4shared.com/rar/1lGplX19ba/Java_and_PHP.html

please help me

Remove any of the <br> statements or echo statements from your php file except the one that you are using to pass json..
Check the output of your file in browser, remove all the unwanted things other than json..

Please print and check if your string json is in right format as expected by the JSONObject constructor. Per documentation, valid json string to construct JSONObject should be -- A string beginning with { (left brace) and ending with } (right brace).
Please refer this.

Go inside JSONParser and do this so u see in logcat whats comming from php. Probably its a php error.
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
//This line is what u need to add
Log.d("Whats wrong?", json.toString());
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}

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.

if (success == 1) {

return json.getString(TAG_MESSAGE);

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...
USE THIS JSON PARSER
