arraymap is better than sparse array to memorise some data catched from a JSON file?

I had wrote a code which use a parse to catch some data from a JSON file but i don't know what kind of structure is better between the sparse array or the array map for memorise these data ?
I had used a array map but I don't know if it's too wasted on so little data data.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private ProgressDialog pd;
private String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
public ArrayMap<Integer, ValoriDiSueg> ArrayDati = new ArrayMap<>();
Button buttonProg;
TextView textViewProg;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
buttonProg = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
textViewProg = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
buttonProg.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
new JsonCLASS().execute("https://samples.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London,uk&appid=b6907d289e10d714a6e88b30761fae22");
}
});
}
private class JsonCLASS extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pd = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
pd.setMessage("Please wait");
pd.setCancelable(false);
pd.show();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
BufferedReader reader = null;
try {
URL url = new URL(params[0]);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.connect();
InputStream stream = connection.getInputStream();
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
String line = "";
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
buffer.append(line + "\n");
Log.d("Response: ", "> " + line); //here u ll get whole response...... :-)
}
return buffer.toString();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (connection != null) {
connection.disconnect();
}
try {
if (reader != null) {
reader.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return null;
}
The parse of these data
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(result);
JSONArray Arr = new JSONArray(jsonObject.getString("weather"));
for (int i = 0; i < Arr.length(); i++){
JSONObject jsonPart = Arr.getJSONObject(i);
ArrayDati.put(i,new ValoriDiSueg( jsonPart.getString("main"), jsonPart.getString("description")));
//ArrayDati.put(i,new ValoriDiSueg("description : "+ jsonPart.getString("description")));
textViewProg.setText(textViewProg.getText()+"main : "+ ArrayDati.get(i).Main +"\n"+textViewProg.getText()+"description : "+ ArrayDati.get(i).Description );
}
} catch (Exception e ){
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (pd.isShowing()) {
pd.dismiss();
}
}
}
}
And I created a class:
public class ValoriDiSueg {
String Main;
String Description;
public ValoriDiSueg(String main, String description) {
this.Main = main;
this.Description = description;
}
}
any suggestions??

In simple:
If your key is int or long, you should use SparseArray, SparseLongArray as it will not boxing/un-boxing the key value when operates. Also, it provides similar classes for int/long values as long as the key is int/long.
If you key is not int nor long, such as an object or String, you should use ArrayMap instead as it will handle the conflicts of key hashes.
There are no much performance and memory usage difference between these two class as they are all requires O(log n) to search and O(n) to insert/delete (in most cases).

JSONObject can't be correctly created

I want to get images from server into my Android app.
My first steps are:
I have this JSON string array from server
{"results":"[{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/augmentedandroidapp.000webhostapp.com\\\/images\\\/kamara1.jpg\"},{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/augmentedandroidapp.000webhostapp.com\\\/images\\\/kamara2.jpg\"},{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/augmentedandroidapp.000webhostapp.com\\\/images\\\/kamara3.jpg\"}]"}
I got urls in my App from server with code below and working fine.
private void getURLs() {
class GetURLs extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
ProgressDialog loading;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
loading = ProgressDialog.show(GalleryTargets.this, "Loading...", "Please Wait...", true, true);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
super.onPostExecute(s);
loading.dismiss();
Toast.makeText(GalleryTargets.this,s,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
imageJSON = s;
Log.e(LOGTAG, "Succeed Read url" + imageJSON);
extractJSON(imageJSON);
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... strings) {
String uri = strings[0];
BufferedReader bufferedReader = null;
try {
URL url = new URL(uri);
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
String json;
while ((json = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(json);
}
return sb.toString().trim();
} catch (Exception e) {
return null;
}
}
}
GetURLs gu = new GetURLs();
gu.execute(newurl);
}
But, i want to extract json into a new JSON Object with this method below but throws the exception, Json object not created.
Any ideas why this exception happens?
Thank you in advance!
private void extractJSON(String jsonString){
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
JSONArray jArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("results");
for (int i = 0; i < jArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject oneObject = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
oneObject.getString("url");//
}
Log.e(LOGTAG, "JsonArray Succeed" );
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e(LOGTAG, "JsonArray exception");
}
}

Instead of JSONArray jArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("results");
Try JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray (jsonObject.getString("results"));
You're asking for a json array but it is a string.

There is an error on the json.. after "results": there must not be
quotes
This is correct
{"results":[{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/augmentedandroidapp.000webhostapp.com\\\/images\\\/kamara1.jpg\"},{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/augmentedandroidapp.000webhostapp.com\\\/images\\\/kamara2.jpg\"},{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/augmentedandroidapp.000webhostapp.com\\\/images\\\/kamara3.jpg\"}]}

Android add JSON to <string>

I want to add json to listview,
but I have no idea
I list items with listview like that;
public class ListSectionActivity extends Activity {
private AndroidListAdapter list_adapter;
private ListView lv_android;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_list_section);
DataCollection.data_arr=new ArrayList<DataCollection>();
DataCollection.data_arr.add(new DataCollection("apple"));
DataCollection.data_arr.add(new DataCollection("car"));
lv_android=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.lv_android);
list_adapter=new AndroidListAdapter(ListSectionActivity.this, R.layout.list_item,DataCollection.data_arr);
ListSeparateAdapter<DataCollection> listsectionAdapter = new ListSeparateAdapter<DataCollection>(ListSectionActivity.this,
list_adapter, R.layout.enroll_section_list, R.id.tv_section);
lv_android.setAdapter(listsectionAdapter);
}
}
but I want to list item from json.
my json code:
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String content) {
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(content);
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("main");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
JSONArray server = c.getJSONArray("home");
for(int j=0; j<server.length(); j++){
JSONObject serverObject = server.getJSONObject(j);
string rank = serverObject.getString("rank");
}
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
my json;
{
"main":[
{
"home":[
{"rank":"33"},
{"rank":"72"},
{"rank":"49"}
]
}
]
}
I want to add "string rank" to my listview.
How can I do that?
Thanks.
Edit: I could add json to listview but I can only list first json item. my new code
public class ListSectionActivity extends Activity {
private AndroidListAdapter list_adapter;
private ListView lv_android;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_list_section);
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
new ReadJSON().execute("url");
}
});
}
class ReadJSON extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
return readURL(params[0]);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String content) {
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(content);
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("main");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
JSONArray server = c.getJSONArray("home");
for(int j=0; j<server.length(); j++){
JSONObject serverObject = server.getJSONObject(j);
String rank = serverObject.getString("rank");
DataCollection.data_arr=new ArrayList<DataCollection>();
DataCollection.data_arr.add(new DataCollection(rank));
}
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
lv_android=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.lv_android);
list_adapter=new AndroidListAdapter(ListSectionActivity.this, R.layout.list_item,DataCollection.data_arr);
ListSeparateAdapter<DataCollection> listsectionAdapter = new ListSeparateAdapter<DataCollection>(ListSectionActivity.this,
list_adapter, R.layout.enroll_section_list, R.id.tv_section);
lv_android.setAdapter(listsectionAdapter);
}
}
private static String readURL(String theUrl) {
StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();
try {
URL url = new URL(theUrl);
URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
content.append(line + "\n");
}
bufferedReader.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return content.toString();
}
}
DataCollection
public class DataCollection {
public String name;
public static ArrayList<DataCollection> data_arr=null;
public DataCollection(String name){
this.name=name;
}
}

UPDATED: You can do this inside your onPostexecute. Save the rank array inside a listview and use it inside your adapter.
protected void onPostExecute(String content) {
DataCollection.data_arr=new ArrayList<DataCollection>();
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(content);
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("main");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
JSONArray server = c.getJSONArray("home");
for(int j=0; j<server.length(); j++){
JSONObject serverObject = server.getJSONObject(j);
String rank = serverObject.getString("rank");
DataCollection.data_arr.add(new DataCollection(rank));
}
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if(!data_arr.isEmpty()){
//you can set the adapter and listview here. Something like this
your_list_adapter=new AndroidListAdapter(this, R.layout.list_item,data_arr);
your_lv_android.setAdapter(list_adapter);
}
}

android jsonObject Null Pointer Exception [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?
(12 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I am new to JSON. I need help. My android studio keeps on telling me that my jsonobject is NULL. I can parse and display my jsonarray into a listview. But when i click the page where i displayed it, my app crashes.
Parser
class BgTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {
String json_url;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
json_url = "http://10.0.2.2/result/hehe.php";
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
URL url = new URL(json_url);
HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
InputStream inputstream = httpURLConnection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputstream));
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
while ((JSON_STRING = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuilder.append(JSON_STRING + "\n");
}
bufferedReader.close();
inputstream.close();
httpURLConnection.disconnect();
return stringBuilder.toString().trim();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {
super.onProgressUpdate(values);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
json_string = result;
}
}
public void publishGame(View view)
{
if(json_string == null)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Get Data First",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Games.class);
intent.putExtra("json_data", json_string);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
}
code that posts
Bundle intent=getIntent().getExtras();
if(intent !=null) {
json_string = intent.getString("json_data");
json_string = getIntent().getExtras().getString("json_data");
}
try {
jsonObject = new JSONObject(json_string);
jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("server_response");
int count = 0;
String team1, score1, team2, score2, Type;
while (count < jsonArray.length()) {
JSONObject JO = jsonArray.getJSONObject(count);
team1 = JO.getString("team1");
score1 = JO.getString("score1");
team2 = JO.getString("team2");
score2 = JO.getString("score2");
Type = JO.getString("Type");
Downloader downloader = new Downloader(team1, score1, team2, score2, Type);
gamesAdapter.add(downloader);
count++;
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
The error pointing is here try {
jsonObject = new JSONObject(json_string);

The error is because you are trying to parse "json_data" to JSONObject which is not a valid json. Perhaps you are having server response in a variable called json_data which is of String type if that is the case you need to pass that variable instead of passing String literal into JSONObject constructor.

get the value of AsyncTask method

i have create an android application on where the user can select the start and end point of the location.
This application will use the Google-Direction web service and make the HTTPRequest.
I will make this as short, I want to call the asynctask method in the JSONParser class from the main_activity.
The issue is, I don't know how to display the result in the main_activtiy method
here is the asynctask method
public class JSONParser {
InputStream is = null;
JSONObject jObj = null;
String json = "";
public JSONParser() {
}
public void getJSONFromUrl(final String url, final responseListener target) {
new AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>() {
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = null;
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
try {
httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(httpURLConnection.getInputStream());
int read;
char[] buff = new char[1024];
while ((read = inputStreamReader.read(buff)) != -1) {
stringBuilder.append(buff, 0, read);
}
return stringBuilder.toString();
} catch (MalformedURLException localMalformedURLException) {
return "";
} catch (IOException localIOException) {
return "";
} finally {
if (httpURLConnection != null)
httpURLConnection.disconnect();
}
}
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
target.onResponseComplete(result);
}
}.execute();
}
here is how the main method is calling the method
new JSONParser().getJSONFromUrl(url, new responseListener() {
#Override
public void onResponseComplete(String response) {
try {
ArrayList<HashMap<String, Object>> list = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, Object>>();
JSONArray step = new JSONObject(response).getJSONArray("routes").getJSONObject(0).getJSONArray("legs")
.getJSONObject(0).getJSONArray("steps");
for (int i = 0; i < step.length(); i++) {
HashMap<String,Object> row = new HashMap<String,Object>();
row.put("Distance", step.getJSONObject(i).getJSONObject("distance").getString("text"));
list.add(row);
}
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
the issue right know is how i want to display the Arraylist List value and put it into the TextView call jarak

You can change your List to be
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>
as you are getting a string from
step.getJSONObject(i).getJSONObject("distance").getString("text")
To get it out you can use (assuming your textview is called jarak)
for(HashMap<String,String> map : list) {
for(Entry<String, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {
jarak.setText(entry.getKey() + ", " + entry.getValue());
}
}
Hope that helps
