Closed 5 years ago.
I am trying to implement login and signup form in Android with the help of JSON using post method. When i signup and enter the details it successfully register and data has been shown in my local host sever and when i login its enter wrong username and password its show incorrect details in toast and enter right details shows login success in toast, but i want when i enter right details its goes to another activity. and enter wrong details shows only toast. Here is the code :-
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
public static HashMap<Sound, MediaPlayer> SOUND_MAP=
new HashMap<Sound, MediaPlayer>();
public static int userScore= 0, computerScore=0,
buddyBoxId = 1, computerBoxId = 1;

I have MySSLSocketFactory class to certification that I don't think any problem exists in there.

jObj = new JSONObject(json.substring(json.indexOf("{"), json.lastIndexOf("}") + 1));
Why do you add 1 to the last index? if you receive a String where the last } is really on the last index, you have a OutOfBounds.

I will edit my answer after you will paste your logs, however I think that the issue is with the :
jObj = new JSONObject(json.substring(json.indexOf("{"), json.lastIndexOf("}") + 1));
or with a similar fragment with string operations.
Change this line to:
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
stringBuilder.append("{");
stringBuilder.append(StringUtils.substringBeforeLast(StringUtils.substringAfter(json, "{"), "}"));
stringBuilder.append("}");
jObj = new JSONObject(stringBuilder.toString());
This piece is entirely StringOutOfBoundsException and NullPointerException safe.
According to: https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-2.6/org/apache/commons/lang/StringUtils.html

Why is the Progess Dialog appearing when back button is pressed?

When I go back to the previous activity by pressing the back button the progress dialog is appearing and not disappearing. When I minimize they the app the progress dialog disappears.
Here is the code for the async class
public class BackGroundTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, JSONObject> {
List<NameValuePair> postparams = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
private ProgressDialog pd;
String url = null;
String method = null;
Context context;
public BackGroundTask(String url, String method,
List<NameValuePair> params, Context context) {
this.url = url;
postparams = params;
this.method = method;
this.context = context;
//pd = new ProgressDialog(context);
//pd.setTitle("Processing...");
//pd.setMessage("Please wait.");
//pd.setCancelable(false);
//pd.setIndeterminate(true);
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pd = new ProgressDialog(context);
pd = ProgressDialog.show(context, "Processing...", "Please wait.", true, false);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(JSONObject result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
pd.dismiss();
}
#Override
protected JSONObject doInBackground(String... params) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// Making HTTP request
try {
// Making HTTP request
// check for request method
if (method.equals("POST")) {
// request method is POST
// defaultHttpClient
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(postparams));
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
} else if (method == "GET") {
// request method is GET
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
String paramString = URLEncodedUtils.format(postparams,
"utf-8");
url += "?" + paramString;
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
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());
}
System.out.println(json);
// 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());
}
//pd.dismiss();
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
}

You aren't dismissing it when you finish the Activity and the task must not be done. Override finish() and dismiss it if needed
#Override
public void finish()
{
if (pd.isShowing()
{
pd.dismiss();
}
super.finish();
}
You could also Override onBackPressed() and put this code there but since pressing the back button calls finish() its probably safer just to do it there.
Also, you are comparing Strings correctly in one place
if (method.equals("POST")) // correct
but not others
else if (method == "GET") // incorrect

Receiving JSON java.lang.string cannot be converted to jsonarray

im making an app for a website. It has an JSON API. The URL im trying to fetch the result from is: http://api.bayfiles.net/v1/account/login/<user>/<password>
I get the error: java.lang.string cannot be converted to jsonarray when logging the error using logcat.
My main activity is:
public class MainActivity extends SherlockActivity {
EditText un,pw;
TextView error;
Button ok;
private ProgressDialog mDialog;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

un = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.user);
pw = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.psw);
ok = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
error = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
ok.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//error.setText("Clicked");
//Intent startNewActivityOpen = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, FilesActivity.class);
//startActivityForResult(startNewActivityOpen, 0);
JsonAsync asyncTask = new JsonAsync();
// Using an anonymous interface to listen for objects when task
// completes.
asyncTask.setJsonListener(new JsonListener() {
public void onObjectReturn(JSONObject object) {
handleJsonObject(object);
}
});
// Show progress loader while accessing network, and start async task.
//mDialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, getSupportActionBar().getTitle(),
// getString(R.string.loading), true);
asyncTask.execute("http://api.bayfiles.net/v1/account/login/spxc/mess2005");
}
});
}
private void handleJsonObject(JSONObject object) {
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> mylist = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
try {
JSONArray shows = object.getJSONArray("error");
for (int i = 0; i < shows.length(); i++) {
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
JSONObject e = shows.getJSONObject(i);
//map.put("video_id", String.valueOf(i));
map.put("session", "" + e.getString("session"));
mylist.add(map);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data: " + e.toString());
}
error.setText("session");
/*
//Intent myIntent = new Intent(ListMoviesController.this,
// TestVideoController.class);
myIntent.putExtra("video_title", o.get("video_title"));

myIntent.putExtra("video_location", o.get("video_location"));
startActivity(myIntent); */
}{
if (mDialog != null && mDialog.isShowing()) {
mDialog.dismiss();
}
}
}

public class JSONfunctions {
public static JSONObject getJSONfromURL(String url){

String result = "";
JSONObject jArray = null;

httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs)); */
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
//HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = response.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block

}catch(Exception e){
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection "+e.toString());

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
result=sb.toString();
}catch(Exception e){
Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result "+e.toString());
}
try{
jArray = new JSONObject(result);
}catch(JSONException e){
Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data "+e.toString());
}
return jArray;
}
}
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.
