Android, Iterate over JSON-fied dictionary

I have the following string, which was created using javascript JSON. (It's passed from a Webview to the native code using JavascriptInterface.)
{"var1":1,"var2":8}
How do I convert that into an object and then iterate over the key/value pairs? The names of the keys are NOT known in advance.
I have seen this JSON Array iteration in Android/Java and this Converting json string to java object? and this how to convert JSON string to object in JAVA android.
None of those seem to fit with my example, which is a dictionary with unknown key names. At least, it's certainly not clear to me which of the 15+ answers is relevant for my case.

The org.json library comes "for free" with Android, so I'd go with that. Usage when you don't know the keys ahead of time could be something like this:
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(/* your json String here */);
Iterator<String> keys = jsonObject.keys();
while (keys.hasNext()) {
String key = keys.next();
String value = jsonObject.getString(key);
// do whatever you want with key/value
}
}
catch (JSONException e) {
// thrown when:
// - the json string is malformed (can't be parsed)
// - there's no value for a requested key
// - the value for the requested key can't be coerced to String
}

You can use it by converting the getting the json length like this:-
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(response);
for (int i = 0; i < obj.length(); i++) {
//getting the json object of the particular index inside the array
JSONObject heroObject = obj.getJSONObject(i);
String aka=heroObject.getString("your key here");
}

Convert object a JSON object to string

I'm trying to convert a json object to a string using but I'm getting 'No Value for NAMES'. My code is as follows:
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(resp);
String c = jsonObject.getString("NAME");
msg("" + c);
Currently my object is as follows:
{"Names":[{"NAME":"Haircut"},{"NAME":"Blowdry"},{"NAME":"styling "},{"NAME":"treatment "},{"NAME":"braiding"}]}
How can I convert this data so that I may ingest the data into a listview dynamically.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Names is and array in your JSON. So, firstly your should get it. Try this one:
JSONArray names = (JSONArray)jsonObject.get("Names");
((JSONObject) names.get(0)).get("NAME");

Using GSon how to get multiple vaues from JSONObject

Hi the below is my response from format
object {6}
csdfgi_fgid : 4casdff9743a1-3f9asdf2-4
fesdfgedVsdfgersionsfdg : 7
sdfg : 28
feesdfgdStart : 0
fesdfedCsdfgoudfsgnt : 28
discover[28]
0{4}
DiscCat : Tip
templateCat{2}
name : tip.tp
version : 2
timestamp : 1421146871251
content{1}
I am getting these values using Serializable in class like below
#SerializedName("csdfgi_fgid")
public String sCdfsisdfId;
#SerializedName("feedVersion")
public Long lFesdfgedVsdfgfsersdfsion;
#SerializedName("feed")
public ArrayList<DiscoverModel> discover;
Now in the array list again there is a Json Object "templateCat" which has two parameters "name , version". Now how to get values from this JSON Object

First of all you need to assign all the JSONObject that you are getting in a POJO class. After that getting JSONObject(templateCat) from JSONArray(discover) you have to do looping. For example:
for(int i=0;i<discover.size();i++){
TemplateCat templateCat = discover.get(i).getTemplateCat();
String strName = templateCat.getName();
String strVersion = templateCat.getVersion();
//If you want to get all name and version as list. Add strName and strVersion to ArrayList. <br>
For Example : nameArray.add(strName);
versionArray.add(strVersion);
}

You'll have to get that JSON array first, iterate thru it and then use Gson to convert it into your desired object.
JSONObject rootJson = /* Get your JSON object here */;
JSONArray nestedArray = rootJson.getJsonArray("your_nested_json_array_name");
List<YourObject> objects;
for(int i = 0; i < nestedArray.size(); i++) {
String objectJsonString = nestedArray.get(i);
YourObject o = new Gson().fromJson(objectJsonString, YourObject.class);
objects.add(o);
}
..the last thing you'd need to do is to set our objects list to your desired instance.

How to get the multiple text from string in Android?

I am developing the Android for Xively. I get the following text data and store into string.
{"id":111111177,"title":"G-sensor","private":"true","feed":"https://api.xively.com/v2/feeds/111111177.json","auto_feed_url":"https://api.xively.com/v2/feeds/111111177.json","status":"frozen","updated":"2014-08-05T07:14:29.783670Z","created":"2014-08-01T08:29:17.156043Z","creator":"https://xively.com/users/x22819","version":"1.0.0","datastreams":[{"id":"GPIO1","current_value":"1","at":"2014-08-05T07:14:18.991421Z","max_value":"1.0","min_value":"0.0","tags":["xyz"],"unit":{"type":"G","label":"watts"}},{"id":"GPIO2","current_value":"0","at":"2014-08-05T07:14:29.783670Z","max_value":"1.0","min_value":"0.0","tags":["xyz"],"unit":{"type":"G","label":"watts"}},{"id":"GPIO3","current_value":"1","at":"2014-08-05T06:51:08.165217Z","max_value":"1.0","min_value":"1.0"},{"id":"GPIO4","current_value":"0","at":"2014-08-05T06:51:13.029452Z","max_value":"0.0","min_value":"0.0"},{"id":"GPIO5","current_value":"1","at":"2014-08-05T06:51:20.679123Z","max_value":"1.0","min_value":"1.0"},{"id":"GPIO6","current_value":"0","at":"2014-08-05T06:51:27.057369Z","max_value":"0.0","min_value":"0.0"}],"location":{"domain":"physical"},"product_id":"w8tuBsYf835kYTjDFz9w","device_serial":"DWJAXD6N7VDZ"}
There has id and the current_value in the above data , and I want to get the data of id and the current_value from the above text like following text.
GPIO1 1
GPIO2 0
GPIO3 1
GPIO4 0
GPIO5 1
GPIO6 0
How do I capture the the data of id and the current_value from the above text ?
Can somebody teach me how to do ?
Thank in advance.

Try this:
String resultJSON = "datastreams":[{"id":"GPIO1","current_value":"1","at":"2014-08-05T07:14:18.991421Z","max_value":"1.0","min_value":"0.0","tags":["xyz"],"unit":{"type":"G","label":"watts"}},
{"id":"GPIO2","current_value":"0","at":"2014-08-05T07:14:29.783670Z","max_value":"1.0","min_value":"0.0","tags":["xyz"],"unit":{"type":"G","label":"watts"}},
{"id":"GPIO3","current_value":"1","at":"2014-08-05T06:51:08.165217Z","max_value":"1.0","min_value":"1.0"},
{"id":"GPIO4","current_value":"0","at":"2014-08-05T06:51:13.029452Z","max_value":"0.0","min_value":"0.0"},
{"id":"GPIO5","current_value":"1","at":"2014-08-05T06:51:20.679123Z","max_value":"1.0","min_value":"1.0"},
{"id":"GPIO6","current_value":"0","at":"2014-08-05T06:51:27.057369Z","max_value":"0.0","min_value":"0.0"}],"location":{"domain":"physical"},"product_id":"w8tuBsYf835kYTjDFz9w","device_serial":"DWJAXD6N7VDZ"};
JSONObject jsonRoot = new JSONObject(resultJSON);
JSONArray jsonData = jsonRoot.getJSONArray("Data");
for(int i=0; i<jsonData.lenght;i++) {
JSONObject jsonOBject = jsonData.getJSONObject(i);
Log.d(TAG, "json ("+i+") = "+jsonOBject.toString());
// do what you want with your JSONObject , i.e :add it to an ArrayList of paresed result
String ID = jsonOBject.getString("id");
}
Hope this may help you

dataList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
// Getting JSON Array node
myarray = jsonObj.getJSONArray("datastreams");
// looping through All myarray
for (int i = 0; i < myarray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = myarray.getJSONObject(i);
String id = c.getString("id");
String date = c.getString("at");
// tmp hashmap for single data
HashMap<String, String> data = new HashMap<String, String>();
// adding each child node to HashMap key => value
data.put(TAG_ID, id);
data.put(TAG_DATE, date);
// adding data to data list
dataList.add(data);
}

The data you have is actually a JSON so you can simply parse it to java POJO. I would suggest to use one of 2 most popular open source parsers GSON or Jackson.
What you have to do is:
Create java POJOs for chosen parser. To make it easier use this online tool http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/
Copy generated java classes to your project.
Use JSON parser e.g. GSON
Let's say you named your main class as Example, with GSON you can parse it like this:
Gson gson = new Gson();
String data = ....//your JSON data
Example example = gson.fromJson(data, Example.class);
Data you would like to get will have own Java representation and will be available through getter method, e.g.:
List<Datastream> datastreams = example.getDatastreamList();
for (DataStream data : datastreams) {
String id = data.getId();
String currentValue = data.getCurrentValue();
}
Then you can do whatever you like. Please know that GSON can also read streams, so if you already parse stream to string you can skip it and pass that stream to Gson object directly.
If you don't want redundant POJOs or their parameters, you can remove them. GSON will handle it and simply ignore these values. Just make sure that data you are interested in keep the generated structure.
That's how I would do it.

Get JSONObject by ID from another JSONObject - Android

I have a little issue with parsing JSON String which I get from a web server. So my JSON looks something like this :
{
..........
"statistics":{
"660":{
"param_id":660,
"cat_id":2,
"param_title":"Number",
"param_value":"26",
"value_type":"singleline",
"elem_order":"1"}
,
"662":{
"param_id":662,
"cat_id":2,
"param_title":"Name",
"param_value":"Dani",
"value_type":"singleline",
"elem_order":"2"
}
// --||--
}
}
So I get a JSONObject statisics and I want to get JSONObjects from statistics, but the problem is that their name is different everytime.So I can't just do json.getJSONObject("660");. So any suggestions how can I do that?

You can do something like this :
if(jsonObj.has("statistics")){
Iterator<Object> keys = stats.keys();
while(keys.hasNext()){
String key = (String) keys.next();
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
obj = stats.getJSONObject(key);
// get JSON
}// end while
}//end if

use JSONObject.keys() to get key iterator, then getJsonObject( key) to get object.

Try below code-
JSONArray nameArray = statisics.names();
JSONArray valArray = statisics.toJSONArray(nameArray);
where names() method returns array of names and it is stored in nameArray and valArray contains array of values corresponding to valArray.
You can iterate using for loop over these array to get values.

use like this
JSONObject jsonOnb = json.getJSONObject("statistics") ;
JSONObject pagesObj = jsonOnb.getJSONObject(jsonOnb.names().getString(0));
Log.i("pageid", "pageid= " +pagesObj.get("param_id"));
Log.i("title", "title= " +pagesObj.get("cat_id"));
