Getting Data from JSON?

I want to get the username from this
Json url.
I have this code but it doesn't let me get the data saying
Json parsing error
Here is the code:
HttpHandler.java
public class HttpHandler {
private static final String TAG = HttpHandler.class.getSimpleName();
public HttpHandler() {
}
public String makeServiceCall(String reqUrl) {
String response = null;
try {
URL url = new URL(reqUrl);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
// read the response
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
response = convertStreamToString(in);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "MalformedURLException: " + e.getMessage());
} catch (ProtocolException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "ProtocolException: " + e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "IOException: " + e.getMessage());
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Exception: " + e.getMessage());
}
return response;
}
private String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line;
try {
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line).append('\n');
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
}
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
private ProgressDialog pDialog;
private ListView lv;
// URL to get contacts JSON
private static String url = "https://someLink";

#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

contactList = new ArrayList<>();
lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
new GetContacts().execute();
}
/**

private class GetContacts extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

pDialog.setMessage("Please wait...");
pDialog.setCancelable(false);
pDialog.show();
}
#Override

HttpHandler sh = new HttpHandler();
// Making a request to url and getting response
String jsonStr = sh.makeServiceCall(url);
Log.e(TAG, "Response from url: " + jsonStr);
if (jsonStr != null) {
try {
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
// Getting JSON Array node
JSONArray contacts = jsonObj.getJSONArray("");
// looping through All Contacts
for (int i = 0; i < contacts.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = contacts.getJSONObject(i);
String name = c.getString("username");
// tmp hash map for single contact
HashMap<String, String> contact = new HashMap<>();
// adding each child node to HashMap key => value
contact.put("username", name);
// adding contact to contact list
contactList.add(contact);
}
} catch (final JSONException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Json parsing error: " + e.getMessage());
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Json parsing error: " + e.getMessage(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
}
});
}
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "Couldn't get json from server.");
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Couldn't get json from server. Check LogCat for possible errors!",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
}
});
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
// Dismiss the progress dialog
if (pDialog.isShowing())
pDialog.dismiss();
/**

* */
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(
MainActivity.this, contactList,
R.layout.list_item, new String[]{"username"}, new int[]{R.id.name});
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}
}
This is an example i found on google and tried to change it a bit in my needs.I've put an empty JsonArray.I also tried other examples but i can't understand what is going wrong.
**
> New question
If my url is like this?What is the difference with the other?
**

You don't have an array to parse in the output. Your URL giving you an Object. Your code should be something like this
if (jsonStr != null) {
try {
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
String name = jsonObj.getString("username");
//... now use the whereever you want
}
catch (final JSONException e) {
//... put your error log
}

Please edit your code in MainActivity to get the username from json string as follows :
if(jsonStr!=null)
{
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
if(jsonObj !=null)
{
String name = jsonObj .getString("username");
}
}

i suggest you to use this one.

Try to use GSON library in the future, it will auto convert the JSON object to a java object automatically for you. This will be useful to avoid parsing complex JSON objects or JSON arrays. https://github.com/google/gson

you can use volley for handle http request
In android studio -put this line in your build.gradle
dependencies{
compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aar:1.0.0'
}
Use this method (post) call this method
public void postData(){
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, "YOUR URL",
new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
try {
JSONObject jobject = new JSONObject(response);
Log.e("jobject ", jobject + "<return");
}catch (JSONException je){
}
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(),error.toString(),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}){
#Override
protected Map<String,String> getParams(){
Map<String,String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("Name","Mr.Lavanya");
params.put("Physician_Key", "Physician_Key");
params.put("ProviderName","ProviderName");
params.put("EmailId","EmailId");
params.put("Location","Location"),
Log.e("params",params+"");
return params;
}
};
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getActivity());
requestQueue.add(stringRequest);

Android JSON POST and then response

I can retrieve data through JSON in listview but I want to show data relative to the user logged in so for that I have to Post username to PHP script. I don't have any idea how to post the username to PHP script and then get respond from web server.

sir this code perfectly show me all data from this server but i want some specific data like i want to show data related to the person who is logged in so for that i have to pass the user name to PHP script so dont have idea to POST any thing to web on the basis of which i can filter data

Here is an example:
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
obj.put("username", "YourUser");
HttpUrlConnectionJson.sendHTTPData("http://" + serverAddress + "/api/SomeUserMethod", obj);
HttpUrlConnectionJson class
public class HttpUrlConnectionJson {
private static final String TAG = "HttpUrlConnectionJson";
public static String sendHTTPData(String urlpath, JSONObject json) {
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
try {
URL url=new URL(urlpath);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
connection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
OutputStreamWriter streamWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
streamWriter.write(json.toString());
streamWriter.flush();
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
if (connection.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK){
InputStreamReader streamReader = new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream());
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(streamReader);
String response = null;
while ((response = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuilder.append(response + "\n");
}
bufferedReader.close();
Log.d(TAG, stringBuilder.toString());
return stringBuilder.toString();
} else {
Log.e(TAG, connection.getResponseMessage());
return null;
}
} catch (Exception exception){

I hope this help

how to get the names of all videos of a specific user on youtube by coding

I've written a big code and one of the options in my app is to retrieve all the matching results for this statement :
new conn().execute("https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=google&v=2&alt=json");
which are all the titles of videos contains "google" if q=google for example , now I want to retrieve all the related results if I entered a name of a user on youtube and get all his videos .. what is the modification for this statement to perform that ??

by replace the url by this :
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?author=username&v=2&alt=json I can get all the videos for the same user :
new conn().execute("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?author=username&v=2&alt=json");

Can get information from JSON API

im trying to get some information from a site BayFiles.net using their API.
The call URL is: http://api.bayfiles.net/v1/account/files?session=SESSION-ID
The error i get is:
07-04 13:54:39.525: E/log_tag(588): Error parsing data org.json.JSONException: Value at error of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONArray
The JSON output when correct sessionID is something like this:
{

"deleteToken": "gzHTfGcF",

Any help is much appreciated!

As 'error' is not JSONArray it is giving you parsing error.
JSONArray shows = object.getJSONArray("error");
Change you line to
String shows = object.getString("error");
You can refer to these link for JSON Parsing.
