how to parse this JSONArray

Hi guys i have this JSONObject I'm having hard time to parse it.
Here's the JSON,
{
"query": {
"count": 2,
"created": "2016-11-07T15:29:47Z",
"lang": "en-US",
"results": {
"rate": [{
"id": "USDINR",
"Name": "USD/INR",
"Rate": "66.7700",
"Date": "11/7/2016",
"Time": "3:27pm",
"Ask": "66.8000",
"Bid": "66.7700"
}, {
"id": "USDEUR",
"Name": "USD/EUR",
"Rate": "0.9060",
"Date": "11/7/2016",
"Time": "3:29pm",
"Ask": "0.9065",
"Bid": "0.9060"
}]
}
}
}
As you can see above there are two "Rate" I want to store first "Rate" to a String array called Result[0] and second "Rate" to Result[1].
Here what I'm trying.
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(JSON);
JSONObject rateObject = object.getJSONObject("rate");
JSONArray rateArray = rateObject.getJSONArray("Rate");
result[0] = rateArray.getString(0);
result[1] = rateArray.getString(1);
I know maybe I'm doing this like stupid. So please help me out.

To Get the array I would try this:
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(JSON);
JSONObject rateObject = object.getJSONObject("results");
JSONArray rateArray = rateObject.getJSONArray("rate");
And then use a for to read all objects in the array:
int length = rateArray.length();
for (int i =0; i < length; i++){
JSONObject rate = rateArray.getJSONObject(i);
String rateResult = rate.getString("Rate");
}

Your formatted JSON looks like this
{
"query":{
"count":2,
"created":"2016-11-07T15:29:47Z",
"lang":"en-US",
"results":{
"rate":[
{
"id":"USDINR",
"Name":"USD/INR",
"Rate":"66.7700",
"Date":"11/7/2016",
"Time":"3:27pm",
"Ask":"66.8000",
"Bid":"66.7700"
},
{
"id":"USDEUR",
"Name":"USD/EUR",
"Rate":"0.9060",
"Date":"11/7/2016",
"Time":"3:29pm",
"Ask":"0.9065",
"Bid":"0.9060"
}
]
}
}
}
To get the rate array you have to this
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
JSONArray rateArray = jsonObject.getJSONObject("query").getJSONObject("results").getJSONArray("rate");
Then query rate array like this
JSONObject rateJSON = (JSONObject)rateArray.get(index);
String id = rateJSON.getString("id"); //Or any other field of rate

Anthony,
You need to go from the root element ( query ) to the "rate" node :
JSONArray rates = object.getJSONObject("query").getJSONObject("results").getJSONArray("rate")
result[0] = rates.getJSONObject(0).get("Rate")
result[1] = rates.getJSONObject(1).get("Rate")

you need to do this
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonString);
JSONObject queryObj = jsonObj.getJSONObject("query");
JSONObject resultObj = queryObj.getJSONObject("results");
JSONArray rateArr = resultObj.getJSONArray("rate");
result[0] = rateArr.getJSONObject(0).getString("Rate");
result[1] = rateArr.getJSONObject(1).getString("Rate");

Try this:
JSONArray rateArray = new JSONObject(JSON)
.getJSONObject("query")
.getJSONObject("results")
.getJSONArray("rate");
result[0] = rateArray.getJSONObject(0).getString("Rate");
result[1] = rateArray.getJSONObject(1).getString("Rate");

Parse JSON object from URL

Im newbie in using JSON
{
"orders": [
{
"id": "12",
"ord_name": "Passion Fruit",
"ord_desc": "Cold passion fruit",
"ord_price": "75",
"ord_qty": "3",
"customer_id": "54feec24bff73",
"ord_num": "13191554feec24bff73",
"price_x_quan": "225.00",
"image": "http:\/\/192.168.43.52\/MMOS\/uploads\/passion-fruit.jpg",

},
{
"id": "13",
"ord_name": "Caramel Mocha",
"ord_desc": "Cold caramel mocha",
"ord_price": "100",
"ord_qty": "1",
"customer_id": "54feec24bff73",
"ord_num": "13191554feec24bff73",

"image": "http:\/\/192.168.43.52\/MMOS\/uploads\/caramelmocha.jpg",
"subtotal": "",
"imgimg": "uploads\/caramelmocha.jpg"
}
],
"o_total": 325
}
'Im done parsing the array orders.
What I want now is to parse the o_total and put it on a TextView .
Any idea how to do this?
This is how i did in the first array = 'orders'
which is displayed on a listview
try {
// Locate the array name in JSON==
jsonarray = jsonobject.getJSONArray("orders");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonarray.length(); i++) {
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
jsonobject = jsonarray.getJSONObject(i);
// Retrive JSON Objects
map.put("id", jsonobject.getString("id"));
map.put("ord_name", jsonobject.getString("ord_name"));
map.put("ord_price", jsonobject.getString("ord_price"));
map.put("ord_qty", jsonobject.getString("ord_qty"));
map.put("customer_id", jsonobject.getString("customer_id"));
map.put("ord_num", jsonobject.getString("ord_num"));
map.put("price_x_quan", jsonobject.getString("price_x_quan"));
map.put("image", jsonobject.getString("image"));
map.put("text_ordernumber",home_in.getStringExtra("text_ordernumber"));
map.put("text_name",home_in.getStringExtra("text_name"));
// Set the JSON Objects into the array
arraylist.add(map);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
i wonder how to do it on "o_total"

I suppose you did something like this to get your array:
JSONObject rootObject = new JSONObject(yourJSONString);
rootObject.getJSONArray("order");
Just do the same to your "o_total":
yourTextView.setText(rootObject.getString("o_total"));

Just do:
int o_total = jsonobject.get("o_total").getAsInt();

Retrieve Array value from JSOn to android client Array

i am doing now retrieving JSON array and assigning it to Android Array String but it failed.
My integer "success" already well. Please help, thank you very much.
My JSON information:
{
"details": [
{
"phone": "89898999",
"name": "Maria"
},
{
"phone": "98983555",
"name": "John"
},
{
"phone": "96969677",
"name": "Leo"
},
{
"phone": "97320099",
"name": "Helen"
},
{
"phone": "90063379",
"name": "Judy"
}
],
"success": 1
}
Android code:
String[] titleArray2;
String[] descriptionArray2;
int cs = 0;
.....
// Create a JSON object from the request response
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(result);
//Retrieve the data from the JSON object
cs = jsonObject.getInt("success")
JSONArray ja = jsonObject.getJSONArray("details");
for (int i = 0; i < ja.length(); i++)
{
JSONObject jo = (JSONObject) ja.get(i);
titleArray2[i] = jo.getString("phone");
descriptionArray2[i] = jo.getString("name");
}

Your code looks fine, Just try initializing your array
Try like this
JSONArray ja = jsonObject.getJSONArray("details");
titleArray2 =new String[ja.size];
descriptionArray2[i]=new String[ja.size];
and then your for loop.
Mark as right if it works for you. :)

How to retrieve data using json parsing when there are multiple inner nodes?

I am trying to retrieve data using a URL using Json Parsing in Android.
I have done the following coding but I am not able to figure out how to parse the node which is present in the inner node items.
My json array and codes are posted as below. Please guide me step by step.
Part of the Json Array
[
{
"items": [
{
"id": "11",
"Item_Id": "123",
"Item_Name": "Chicken Cream Soup",
"Price": "8",
"Currency": "AED",
"Category": "Soup",
"Description": "Creamy Chicken Soup with garnish & side helpings",
"Unit": "2",
"food_type": "Non",
"Image_Large": "/images_large/chickensoup.jpg",
"Image_Thumb": "/images_large/chickensoup.jpg",
"Timestamp": "6/23/2014 9:49:43 PM",
"Promotion": "",
"Item_Name_arabic": "حساء الطماطم",
"Item_Name_russian": "",
"Currency_arabic": "درهم",
"Currency_russian": "",

"2"
],
"price": [
"4",
"5"
],
"preferncess_arabic": [
"لا الملح",
"سكر اضافية"
]
},
MainActivity.class
try {
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
// Getting JSON Array node
items = jsonObj.getJSONArray(TAG_CONTACTS);
Log.i("json node",""+items);
// looping through All Contacts
for (int i = 0; i < items.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = items.getJSONObject(i);
String id = c.getString("id");
//String name = c.getString(TAG_NAME);
Log.w("myid", id);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

// fetch item array
JSONArray itemObjectArray = jsonStr.getJSONArray("items");
for (int i = 0; i < itemObjectArray.length(); i++) {
// fetch item object at i position
JSONObject itemObject = itemObjectArray.getJSONObject(i);
// fetch values from itemObject
String idValue = itemObject.getString("id");
String noteValue = itemObject.getString("Note");
// fetch the array
JSONArrayprefObject = itemObject.getJSONArray("preferncess");
// iterate throgh the array like
for (int i = 0; i < prefObject .length(); i++) {
JSONObject p = prefObject .getJSONObject(i);
}
}

preference is json array you can retrive it by c.getJSONArray("preferncess"); and then iterating. or in more generic you can Can you try something like following
if (c.get(key) instanceof String)
{
JSONObject Lawset = c.getString(key);
} else if (c.get(key) instanceof JSONObject)
{
JSONObject Lawset = c.getJSONObject(key);
//try to retrieve data from json object
}
else if (c.get(key) instanceof JSONArray)
{
JSONArray Lawset = c.getJSONArray(key);
//iterate to get data
}

JSON Handling Quick

Hey guys this is the first time I am doing JSON and I have gotten the json from the server. Now my only question is how do I take the data.
The JSON includes
[
{
"name": "Joe Smith",
"employeeId":1,
"company": "ABC",
"phone": {
"work": "555-555-5555",
"home": "666-666-6666",
"mobile": "777-777-7777"
}
},
{
"name": "Does Smith",
"employeeId":2,
"company": "XYZ",
"phone": {
"work": "111-111-1111",
"home": "222-222-2222",
"mobile": "333-333-3333"
}
}
]
jsonData is my string of the JSON
Currently I have:
JSONObject json = new JSONOBject(jsonData);
JSONObject data = json.getJSONObject(*******)
JSONArray phones = data.getJSONArray("phone");
not sure what to put on the second line. Also, what is the best way to group the information.
Please make it easy to understand, not exactly a professional yet haha
Thanks!

Your first line is wrong because current string is JSONArray of JSONObject's so get data from current string as:
JSONArray json = new JSONArray(jsonData);
for(int i=0;i<json.length();i++){
JSONObject data = json.getJSONObject(i);
// get name,employeeId,... from data
String str_name=data.optString("work");
//...
JSONObject jsonobjphones = data.getJSONObject("phone");
// get work from phone JSONObject
String str_work=jsonobjphones.optString("work");
//....
}

Try this
List list=new ArrayList();
JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(str_response_starter);
JSONArray json_array_item_id = jObject.getJSONArray("itemid");
System.out.println("json array item id"+json_array_item_id);
JSONArray json_array_item_name = jObject.getJSONArray("itemname");
System.out.println("json array item name"+json_array_item_name);
JSONArray json_array_item_type = jObject.getJSONArray("type");
System.out.println("json array item type"+json_array_item_type);
JSONArray json_array_item_cost = jObject.getJSONArray("cost");
System.out.println("json array item cost"+json_array_item_cost);
Now
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(kvPairs.size());
String k, v;
Iterator<String> itKeys = kvPairs.keySet().iterator();
while (itKeys.hasNext()) {
k = itKeys.next();
System.out.println(" value of k"+k);
v = kvPairs.get(k);
System.out.println(" value of v"+v);

In JSON, [] represents JSONArray, {} represents JSONObject. In your JSON string, it starts with [, so you need to start with JSONArray:
JSONArray people = new JSONArray(jsonData);
And then you'll notice that each person is a JSONObject, so now you need to loop them in order to get their information:
for(int i=0;i<people.length();i++){
JSONObject person = people.getJSONObject(i);
JSONObject phones = person.getJSONObject("phone"); //phone is also a JSONObject, because it starts with '{'
String workPhone = phones.get("work");
}
