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).

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

android jsonObject Null Pointer Exception [duplicate]

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.

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.

Android studio Load Image url into listview

I want to fill a listview with text and images.
I receive this information by my mysql database, in JSON format.
I have a field called "FOTO" and I store into this the path to the photo like: "http://....../1.png".
I get and android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException using this code, but I don't know how to do different.
I parse the JSON and pass the values to the listadapter. I need to pass also the icon so the bitmap value, but I need to download it from the server.
public class DisplayListView extends AppCompatActivity {
final static String TAG = "sb.dl";
String json_string;
JSONObject jsonObject;
JSONArray jsonArray;
TeamAdapter teamAdapter;
ListView listView;
Bitmap icon = null;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.display_listview_layout);
teamAdapter = new TeamAdapter(this, R.layout.row_layout);
listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview);
listView.setAdapter(teamAdapter);
json_string = getIntent().getExtras().getString("json_data");
Log.d(TAG, "json_string " + json_string);
try {
jsonObject = new JSONObject(json_string);
jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("risposta");
int count = 0;
String nome, num, data;
while (count < jsonArray.length()) {
JSONObject JO = jsonArray.getJSONObject(count);
nome = JO.getString("NOME");
num = JO.getString("NUMERO");
data = JO.getString("DATA_NASCITA");
String url = JO.getString("FOTO");
icon = LoadImageFromWebOperations(url);
Team team = new Team(nome, num, data, icon);
teamAdapter.add(team);
count++;
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d("Simone", e.toString());
Log.d("Simone", e.getMessage());
}
}
public static Bitmap LoadImageFromWebOperations() {
try {
URL url = new URL("url");
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openConnection().getInputStream());
return bmp;
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d(TAG, "bitmap error: " + e.toString());
Log.d(TAG, "bitmap error: " + e.getMessage());
return null;
}
}
}

I had the same problem.
I solved with an AsyncTask that download the bitmaps.
I used this code:
class ImageDownloaderTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {
private final WeakReference<ImageView> imageViewReference;
public ImageDownloaderTask(ImageView imageView) {
imageViewReference = new WeakReference<ImageView>(imageView);
}
#Override
protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... params) {
return downloadBitmap(params[0]);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap bitmap) {
if (isCancelled()) {
bitmap = null;
}
if (imageViewReference != null) {
ImageView imageView = imageViewReference.get();
if (imageView != null) {
if (bitmap != null) {
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} else {
Drawable placeholder = null;
imageView.setImageDrawable(placeholder);
}
}
}
}
private Bitmap downloadBitmap(String url) {
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;
try {
URL uri = new URL(url);
urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) uri.openConnection();
final int responseCode = urlConnection.getResponseCode();
if (responseCode != HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
return null;
}
InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();
if (inputStream != null) {
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
return bitmap;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
urlConnection.disconnect();
Log.w("ImageDownloader", "Errore durante il download da " + url);
} finally {
if (urlConnection != null) {
urlConnection.disconnect();
}
}
return null;
}
}
you call it by:
new ImageDownloaderTask(holder.imageView).execute(urlPhoto);
Hope this help :)

try using picasso to load in your image.
http://square.github.io/picasso/
Picasso.with(context).load("http://i.imgur.com/DvpvklR.png").into(imageView);
this will load the image into your imageview asynchronously.
get the library using the gradle import
compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'

AsyncTask to fetch global game scores from a server

I am new to android and am completely puzzled by AsyncTasks. I need to create a leaderboard which will pull global leaderboard scores from a server.
I have posted below the two methods that were created in the LeaderboardsFragment which are used to access and display the scores - getGlobalScores and readStream.
I am unsure of how to use these in the AsyncTask - mostly how and what parameters to pass to the AsyncTask - most of the tutorials I have been looking at do not deal with 2D arrays. Any hints would be really appreciated, I am really having trouble understanding the literature surrounding this.
package uk.ni.appidemic.whackamole;

public class LeaderboardsFragment extends Fragment {

//Go and get the asset store from the activity
AS = WhackAMoleActivity.getAssetManager();
TopScores = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.leaderboards);
// Extract and display the top score text view from the preferences
displayLocalScores();
// this method is used to send a highscore to the server (name and score)
// this method may get pulled out to the gameloop as its the only place it should be used in the final game
// but this can be used for testing purposes atm (Server needs to be on)
// sendScoreGlobal("porter", 1001);

You should fetch your game score through a WebService class that extentds AsynTask. Below is my class that I am using in order to fetch remote data safely.
CODE:
public class WebServiceRestTask extends AsyncTask<HttpUriRequest, Void, Object> {
private static final String TAG = "WebServiceRestTask";
private AbstractHttpClient mClient;
private WeakReference<WebServiceRestCallback> mCallback;
private int ws_task;
public WebServiceRestTask(int ws_task) {
this(new DefaultHttpClient(), ws_task);
}
public WebServiceRestTask(AbstractHttpClient client, int task_number) {
mClient = client;
this.ws_task = task_number;
}
public interface WebServiceRestCallback {
public void onRequestSuccess(String response);
public void onRequestError(Exception error);
}
public void setResponseCallback(WebServiceRestCallback callback) {
mCallback = new WeakReference<WebServiceRestCallback>(callback);
}
#Override
protected Object doInBackground(HttpUriRequest... params) {
try {
HttpUriRequest request = params[0];
HttpResponse serverResponse = mClient.execute(request);
BasicResponseHandler handler = new BasicResponseHandler();
String response = handler.handleResponse(serverResponse);
return response + ws_task;
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.w(TAG, e);
return e;
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Object result) {
if (mCallback != null && mCallback.get() != null) {
if (result instanceof String) {
mCallback.get().onRequestSuccess((String) result);
} else if (result instanceof Exception) {
mCallback.get().onRequestError((Exception) result);
} else {
mCallback.get().onRequestError(
new IOException("Unknown Error Contacting Host"));
}
}
}
}
