I want to get a JSON object from a Http get response:
Here is my current code for the Http get:
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(params[0]);
HttpResponse response;
String result = null;
try {
response = client.execute(request);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
// A Simple JSON Response Read
InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
result = convertStreamToString(instream);
// now you have the string representation of the HTML request
System.out.println("RESPONSE: " + result);
instream.close();
if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == 200) {
netState.setLogginDone(true);
}
}
// Headers
org.apache.http.Header[] headers = response.getAllHeaders();
for (int i = 0; i < headers.length; i++) {
System.out.println(headers[i]);
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
}
Here is the convertSteamToString function:
private static String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
try {
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
Right now I am just getting a string object. How can I get a JSON object back.
The string that you get is just the JSON Object.toString(). It means that you get the JSON object, but in a String format.
If you are supposed to get a JSON Object you can just put:
JSONObject myObject = new JSONObject(result);
Do this to get the JSON
String json = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
More details here : get json from HttpResponse
This is not the exact answer for your question, but this may help you
public class JsonParser {
private static DefaultHttpClient httpClient = ConnectionManager.getClient();
public static List<Club> getNearestClubs(double lat, double lon) {
// YOUR URL GOES HERE
String getUrl = Constants.BASE_URL + String.format("getClosestClubs?lat=%f&lon=%f", lat, lon);
List<Club> ret = new ArrayList<Club>();
HttpResponse response = null;
HttpGet getMethod = new HttpGet(getUrl);
try {
response = httpClient.execute(getMethod);
// CONVERT RESPONSE TO STRING
String result = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
// CONVERT RESPONSE STRING TO JSON ARRAY
JSONArray ja = new JSONArray(result);
// ITERATE THROUGH AND RETRIEVE CLUB FIELDS
int n = ja.length();
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
// GET INDIVIDUAL JSON OBJECT FROM JSON ARRAY
JSONObject jo = ja.getJSONObject(i);
// RETRIEVE EACH JSON OBJECT'S FIELDS
long id = jo.getLong("id");
String name = jo.getString("name");
String address = jo.getString("address");
String country = jo.getString("country");
String zip = jo.getString("zip");
double clat = jo.getDouble("lat");
double clon = jo.getDouble("lon");
String url = jo.getString("url");
String number = jo.getString("number");
// CONVERT DATA FIELDS TO CLUB OBJECT
Club c = new Club(id, name, address, country, zip, clat, clon, url, number);
ret.add(c);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// RETURN LIST OF CLUBS
return ret;
}
}
Again, it’s relatively straight forward, but the methods I’ll make special note of are:
JSONArray ja = new JSONArray(result);
JSONObject jo = ja.getJSONObject(i);
long id = jo.getLong("id");
String name = jo.getString("name");
double clat = jo.getDouble("lat");
Without a look at your exact JSON output, it's hard to give you some working code. This tutorial is very useful, but you could use something along the lines of:
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject("yourJsonString");
Then you can retrieve from this json object using:
String value = jsonObj.getString("yourKey");
For the sake of a complete solution to this problem (yes, I know that this post died long ago...) :
If you want a JSONObject, then first get a String from the result:
String jsonString = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
Then you can get your JSONObject:
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
You need to use JSONObject like below:
String mJsonString = downloadFileFromInternet(urls[0]);
JSONObject jObject = null;
try {
jObject = new JSONObject(mJsonString);
}
catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
...
private String downloadFileFromInternet(String url)
{
if(url == null /*|| url.isEmpty() == true*/)
new IllegalArgumentException("url is empty/null");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
InputStream inStream = null;
try
{
url = urlEncode(url);
URL link = new URL(url);
inStream = link.openStream();
int i;
int total = 0;
byte[] buffer = new byte[8 * 1024];
while((i=inStream.read(buffer)) != -1)
{
if(total >= (1024 * 1024))
{
return "";
}
total += i;
sb.append(new String(buffer,0,i));
}
}
catch(Exception e )
{
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}catch(OutOfMemoryError e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
return sb.toString();
}
private String urlEncode(String url)
{
if(url == null /*|| url.isEmpty() == true*/)
return null;
url = url.replace("[","");
url = url.replace("]","");
url = url.replaceAll(" ","%20");
return url;
}
Hope this helps you..
There is a JSONObject constructor to turn a String into a JSONObject:
http://developer.android.com/reference/org/json/JSONObject.html#JSONObject(java.lang.String)
If your api is response is a java object, then the string that you got from Outputstream should be in json string format such as
{\"name\":\"xyz\", \"age\":21}
. This can be converted to JSON object in many ways, out of which one way is to use google GSON library.
GsonBuilder builder = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting(); Gson gson = builder.create(); <javaobject> = gson.fromJson(<outputString>, <Classofobject>.class);
One can do it without Gson also, using Jackson, which implements Json Tree Model.
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
JsonNode jsonNode = mapper.readTree(responseString);
1)String jsonString = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
2)JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);

How to parse JSON in Java
(36 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
How do I parse a JSON feed in Android?
Android has all the tools you need to parse json built-in. Example follows, no need for GSON or anything like that.
Get your JSON:
Assume you have a json string
String result = "{\"someKey\":\"someValue\"}";
Create a JSONObject:
JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(result);
If your json string is an array, e.g.:
String result = "[{\"someKey\":\"someValue\"}]"
then you should use JSONArray as demonstrated below and not JSONObject
To get a specific string
String aJsonString = jObject.getString("STRINGNAME");
To get a specific boolean
boolean aJsonBoolean = jObject.getBoolean("BOOLEANNAME");
To get a specific integer
int aJsonInteger = jObject.getInt("INTEGERNAME");
To get a specific long
long aJsonLong = jObject.getLong("LONGNAME");
To get a specific double
double aJsonDouble = jObject.getDouble("DOUBLENAME");
To get a specific JSONArray:
JSONArray jArray = jObject.getJSONArray("ARRAYNAME");
To get the items from the array
for (int i=0; i < jArray.length(); i++)
{
try {
JSONObject oneObject = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
// Pulling items from the array
String oneObjectsItem = oneObject.getString("STRINGNAMEinTHEarray");
String oneObjectsItem2 = oneObject.getString("anotherSTRINGNAMEINtheARRAY");
} catch (JSONException e) {
// Oops
}
}
Writing JSON Parser Class
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
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 JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
}
Parsing JSON Data
Once you created parser class next thing is to know how to use that class. Below i am explaining how to parse the json (taken in this example) using the parser class.
2.1. Store all these node names in variables: In the contacts json we have items like name, email, address, gender and phone numbers. So first thing is to store all these node names in variables. Open your main activity class and declare store all node names in static variables.
// url to make request
private static String url = "http://api.9android.net/contacts";
// JSON Node names
private static final String TAG_CONTACTS = "contacts";
private static final String TAG_ID = "id";
private static final String TAG_NAME = "name";
private static final String TAG_EMAIL = "email";
private static final String TAG_ADDRESS = "address";
private static final String TAG_GENDER = "gender";
private static final String TAG_PHONE = "phone";
private static final String TAG_PHONE_MOBILE = "mobile";
private static final String TAG_PHONE_HOME = "home";
private static final String TAG_PHONE_OFFICE = "office";
// contacts JSONArray
JSONArray contacts = null;
2.2. Use parser class to get JSONObject and looping through each json item. Below i am creating an instance of JSONParser class and using for loop i am looping through each json item and finally storing each json data in variable.
// Creating JSON Parser instance
JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();
// getting JSON string from URL
JSONObject json = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(url);
try {
// Getting Array of Contacts
contacts = json.getJSONArray(TAG_CONTACTS);
// looping through All Contacts
for(int i = 0; i < contacts.length(); i++){
JSONObject c = contacts.getJSONObject(i);
// Storing each json item in variable
String id = c.getString(TAG_ID);
String name = c.getString(TAG_NAME);
String email = c.getString(TAG_EMAIL);
String address = c.getString(TAG_ADDRESS);
String gender = c.getString(TAG_GENDER);
// Phone number is agin JSON Object
JSONObject phone = c.getJSONObject(TAG_PHONE);
String mobile = phone.getString(TAG_PHONE_MOBILE);
String home = phone.getString(TAG_PHONE_HOME);
String office = phone.getString(TAG_PHONE_OFFICE);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I've coded up a simple example for you and annotated the source. The example shows how to grab live json and parse into a JSONObject for detail extraction:
try{
// Create a new HTTP Client
DefaultHttpClient defaultClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
// Setup the get request
HttpGet httpGetRequest = new HttpGet("http://example.json");
// Execute the request in the client
HttpResponse httpResponse = defaultClient.execute(httpGetRequest);
// Grab the response
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpResponse.getEntity().getContent(), "UTF-8"));
String json = reader.readLine();
// Instantiate a JSON object from the request response
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(json);
} catch(Exception e){
// In your production code handle any errors and catch the individual exceptions
e.printStackTrace();
}
Once you have your JSONObject refer to the SDK for details on how to extract the data you require.

Here is the second option I have tried
private void parseResult(String result) {
try {

newsClass = new newsClass();
newsClass.setNews_Name(name);
artistClassList.add(newsClass);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
But this only gives me empty text Fields the spaces for the data is populated but it is blank
Please any help will be greatly appreciated
I don't know how your code works. You have tried to get JSONObject as articles which is actually JSONArray. Besides this I don't find any key in your json like sources instead I have found source. To parse source try below way:
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(result);
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("articles");
for(int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject articleObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
JSONObject sourceObject = articleObject.getJSONObject("source");
String name = sourceObject.optString("name");
String url = sourceObject.optString("url");
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
As Md. Asaduzzaman stated it is actually an JSON array ("articles" to be exact).
I have tested it on my phone and it works no prob. You will have to try and figure out how u want the JSONArray to be parsed thou.
private class AsyncTaskExample extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... strings) {
try {
stringURL = new URL(strings[0]);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) stringURL.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.connect();
is = conn.getInputStream();
//render string stream
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
String line;
String result = "";
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
result += line;
}
// Close stream
if (null != is) {
is.close();
}
return result;
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return str;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String js) {
super.onPostExecute(js);
try {
JSONObject jay = new JSONObject (js);
JSONObject source = jay.getJSONObject("articles");
String s = source.getString("title");
System.out.println(s);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Here you will find all you need for JSON.
Best of luck to you :)
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response.body().string());
JSONArray articles = jsonObject.getJSONArray("articles");
for(int i=0; i<articles.length(); i++){
JSONObject obj1 = (JSONObject) articles.get(i);
JSONObject source = obj1.getJSONObject("source");
Log.i(TAG, "onResponse: " + source.toString()); }
Hope that help you !

I am working with webservice in an android app. I could not parse the following response in app. it always gives the
org.json.JSONException: Value
[{"METER_READING":"15","UTILITY_PLAN":"1","uname":"vinayak#triffort.com","kwh_usage":"3","meter_reading_date":"02-13-2014","ESID":"abc","METER_ID":"abc100"}]
at data of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONArray.
Below is my code:
StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(jsonObject.toString(), HTTP.UTF_8);
httpPost.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
BufferedReader reader =new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent(), "UTF-8"));
String jsonResultStr = reader.readLine();
JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(jsonResultStr);
JSONArray jArray = jObject.optJSONArray("data");
I get following response from webservice
{"data":"[{\"METER_READING\":\"25\",\"UTILITY_PLAN\":\"1\",\"uname\":\"vinayak#triffort.com\",\"kwh_usage\":\"9\",\"meter_reading_date\":\"02-13-2014\",\"ESID\":\"abc\",\"METER_ID\":\"abc100\"}]"}
try using something like:
jsonResultStr = jsonResultStr.replace( "\\", "" ).replaceAll( "\"\\[", "[" ).replaceAll( "\\]\"", "]" );
JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(jsonResultStr);
JSONArray jArray = jObject.optJSONArray("data");
I get following response
{
"data":"[{\"METER_READING\":\"25...}]"
}
The value of data is not an array; it is a string. That string is valid JSON which you could parse but why the service would do this is unclear.
So this should work:
JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(jsonResultStr);
String parseMeAgain = jObject.optString("data");
try this simple code:
JSONObject o = new JSONObject(new JSONTokener(postResponse));
JSONArray ja = o.getJSONArray("data");
EDIT
Thanks #McDowell for observation
new JSONArray(new JSONTokener(jObject.optString("data")));
You can do this way :
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(result); // Pass your result here..
JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(0);
String meterReading = jsonObject.getString("METER_READING");
String plan = jsonObject.getInt("UTILITY_PLAN");
String uname= jsonObject.getString("uname");
String meter_reading_date= jsonObject.getString("meter_reading_date");
String ESID= jsonObject.getString("ESID");
String METER_ID= jsonObject.getString("METER_ID");
Your json should be like this
{
"myarray": [
{
"METER_READING": "15",
"UTILITY_PLAN": "1",
"uname": "vinayak#triffort.com",
"kwh_usage": "3",
"meter_reading_date": "02-13-2014",
"ESID": "abc",
"METER_ID": "abc100"
}
]
}
for network call
public String initializeConnection(String url) {
String result = null;
JSONObject jObj;
try {
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
if(client==null){Log.i("Clinet **************** ", "Client is null");}
//post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
HttpResponse res = client.execute(post);
result = inputStreamToString(res.getEntity().getContent()).toString();
Log.d("Result from server:", result);
jObj = new JSONObject(result.trim());
} catch (JSONException e1) {
Log.e("Json Exception", e1.toString());
} catch (ClientProtocolException e2) {
Log.e("Client Protocol", e2.toString());
} catch (IOException e3) {
Log.e("Io exception", e3.toString());
}
return result;
}
private StringBuilder inputStreamToString(InputStream is) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
String rLine = "";
StringBuilder answer = new StringBuilder();
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "iso-8859-1"),8);
try {
while ((rLine = rd.readLine()) != null) {
answer.append(rLine);
}
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return answer;
}
to retrive from the json
ArrayList<String> params = new ArrayList<String>();
String result = networkCall.initializeConnection(url);
jObj = new JSONObject(result);
JSONArray jArray = jObj.optJSONArray("myarray");
params.add(jArray.optString(1));
params.add(jArray.optString(2));
params.add(jArray.optString(3));
params.add(jArray.optString(4));
params.add(jArray.optString(5));
params.add(jArray.optString(6));
now the data is stored in the params you can differentiate & store it as you want
First the: Android Code
public class MachineController extends AsyncTask<String, String,List<Machine>> {
private static String REST_URL = "...";
List<Machine> machines;
#Override
protected List<Machine> doInBackground(String... params) {
machines = new ArrayList<Machine>();
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();

Here is some Code of the JSON File
[
{ "mobileMachine":
{ "condition":"VERY_GOOD",
"document":"", . . .
"mobileCategory": { "idNr":"1816e5697eb3e0c8442786be5274cb05cff04c06b4338467c8679770bff32313f7f372b5ec2f7527dad0de47d0fb117e",
"mobileCategoryEng":"Bookletmaker",
"mobileCategoryGer":"Broschuerenfertigung" },
"modelYear":2006,
Abmessungen: 665x810mm " } }
{ "mobileMachine":
{
"condition":"VERY_GOOD"," ...... } } ]
Sometimes there is a mobileCategory inside. The mobileCategoryGer and mobileCategoryEng are allways null in the List.
I can't edit the JSON File! I only want the value for mobileCategoryGer and mobileCategoryEng from the Json File. The Rest works fine. I hope u understand and can help me to parse it correctly.
(Sorry for my english)
Here you go.
Type listType = new TypeToken<List<Machine>>() {}.getType();
ArrayList<Result> results = gson.fromJson(result, listType);
Here is your complete modified code:
public class MachineController extends AsyncTask<String, String,List<Machine>> {
private static String REST_URL = "...";
List<Machine> machines;
#Override
protected List<Machine> doInBackground(String... params) {
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(REST_URL);
httpGet.addHeader("accept", "application/json");
HttpResponse response;
try {
response = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(instream));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
sb.append(line + "n");
String result = sb.toString();
Gson gson = new Gson();
Type listType = new TypeToken<List<Machine>>() {}.getType();
machines= gson.fromJson(result, listType);
instream.close();
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return machines;
}
You could check if it has the key with has() method. Also you can get optional value with optJSONObject() and check if it is not null.
JsonArray jsonArray = parser.parse(jsonReader).getAsJsonArray();
try {
doSomething(jsonArray);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.wtf("Terrible Failure", e);
}
private void doSomething(JsonArray jsonArray) throws JSONException{
for (int i=0; i<jsonArray.length(); i++){
JSONObject obj = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
JSONObject mobileCategory = obj.optJSONObject("mobileCategory");
if(mobileCategory !=null){
if(mobileCategory.has("mobileCategoryEng") && mobileCategory.has("mobileCategoryGer") ){
String mobileCategoryEng = mobileCategory.getString("mobileCategoryEng");
String mobileCategoryGer = mobileCategory.getString("mobileCategoryGer");
}
}
}
}
