While executing Async Task in android and getting Json response and while converting response into JSONArray,i am getting NUll pointer Exception.
I am trying fron two days Please help me.
Here is the code to get the Json String.
error is at task.get().
DownloadTask task=new DownloadTask();
task.execute(new String[]{"URL"});
try {
jsonArr=new JSONArray(task.get());
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), jsonArr.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArr.length(); i++) {
obj = jsonArr.getJSONObject(i);
name = obj.getString("name");
phno = obj.getString("phone");
dcount = obj.getString("count");
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Here Is the Async task code.
class DownloadTask extends AsyncTask<String,Void,String>{
private ProgressDialog mProgressDialog=new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
#Override
protected void onPreExecute(){
mProgressDialog.setMessage("Processing");
mProgressDialog.show();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... targetURL) {
URL url;
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
try {
url = new URL(targetURL[0]);
connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
"application/json");
connection.setUseCaches (false);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
/* //Send request
DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream (
connection.getOutputStream ());
wr.writeBytes("BID1");
wr.flush();
wr.close();*/
//Get Response
InputStream is = connection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
String line;
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
while((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
response.append(line);
response.append('\r');
}
rd.close();
return response.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
} finally {
if(connection != null) {
connection.disconnect();
}
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),result, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
mProgressDialog.dismiss();
}
}
You are forgot to call the super method of the onPostExecute
It should be like this
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),result, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
mProgressDialog.dismiss();
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
Other Solution
You can use an interface for your callback
ICallback.java
public interface ICallback {
void onResult(String result);
}
DownloadTask
class DownloadTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
private ProgressDialog mProgressDialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
private ICallback callback;
public DownloadTask(ICallback callback) {
this.callback = callback;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
//Your Codes Here
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... targetURL) {
//Your Codes Here
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
//Your Codes Here
callback.onResult(result)
}
}
How to use it
DownloadTask task = new DownloadTask(new ICallback() {
#Override
public void onResult(String result) {
try {
jsonArr=new JSONArray(result);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), jsonArr.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArr.length(); i++) {
obj = jsonArr.getJSONObject(i);
name = obj.getString("name");
phno = obj.getString("phone");
dcount = obj.getString("count");
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
task.execute(new String[]{"URL"});

I have two AppCompatActivitys, both should have an onItemClickListener, but one of them doesn't do anything on click. I've just added a Toast for test reason, later on it should call a function to delete an item from list (with an ajax request)
What am I doing wrong?
I have made custom list and custom adapter for this - I know, I am new to Android Studio, but the other Activity works fine, and I cant find any differences.
public class ActivityListofProducts extends AppCompatActivity {
ProgressDialog pd;
SharedPreferences preferences;
String userid;
String session;
String list_id = "-1"; // or other values

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_list_of_products);
this.setTitle(getString(R.string.grocery_list));
Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
SwipeRefreshLayout swipeRefreshLayout = (SwipeRefreshLayout) findViewById(R.id.refreshLayout);
if (b != null)
list_id = b.getString("list_id");
Toast.makeText(this, "List to open " + " " + list_id, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
preferences =
getSharedPreferences(this.getPackageName(), this.MODE_PRIVATE);
userid = preferences.getString("userid", "");
session = preferences.getString("session", "");
appVersion = preferences.getString("appVersion", "");
getData();
swipeRefreshLayout.setOnRefreshListener(
new SwipeRefreshLayout.OnRefreshListener() {
#Override
public void onRefresh() {
getData();
swipeRefreshLayout.setRefreshing(false);
}
}

I have a problem with parsing a tag inside a Json object.
My json code is structured like that:
{"giocatori":[{"nome":"Giovanni","cognome":"Muchacha","numero":"1","ruolo":"F-G"},
{"nome":"Giorgio","cognome":"Rossi","numero":"2","ruolo":"AG"},
{"nome":"Andrea","cognome":"Suagoloso","numero":"3","ruolo":"P"},
{"nome":"Salvatore","cognome":"Aranzulla","numero":"4","ruolo":"G"},
{"nome":"Giulio","cognome":"Muchacha","numero":"5","ruolo":"F"}]}
I got the code that let me get the Json file from here: Get JSON Data from URL Using Android? and I'm trying to parse a tag (for example the "nome" tag) into a Json object.
This is the code I got:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button btnHit;
TextView txtJson;
ProgressDialog pd;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btnHit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnHit);
txtJson = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvJsonItem);
btnHit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
new JsonTask().execute("https://api.myjson.com/bins/177dpo");
}
});
}
private class JsonTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pd = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
pd.setMessage("Please wait");
pd.setCancelable(false);
pd.show();
}
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);
}
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;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
if (pd.isShowing()){
pd.dismiss();
}
txtJson.setText(result);
}
}
}
I've never worked with this type of file so I'll really appreciate your help!
You can use something like this:
try {
String servResponse = response.toString();
JSONObject parentObj = new JSONObject(servResponse);
JSONArray parentArray = parentObj.getJSONArray("giocatori");
if (parentArray.length() == 0) {
//if it's empty, do something (or not)
} else {
//Here, finalObj will have your jsonObject
JSONObject finalObj = parentArray.getJSONObject(0);
//if you decide to store some value of the object, you can do like this (i've created a nomeGiocatori for example)
nomeGiocatori = finalObj.getString("nome");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("Exception: ", "UnknownException");
}
I use this kind of code all the time, works like a charm.
I would like to retrieve the contents of my variable "$content" in my activity.
But I don't know how to use the return value of my doinbackground.

You can directly call to the method which exist in activity, from onPostExecute method of asynctask by passing "content" value.
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String content) {
Activity.yourMethod(content);
}
If you want to return the value from asynctask you can use
content = test.execute(url).get();
but it is not a good practice of asynctask, because it is working as serial execution. So it is not fulfill the use of asynctask for palatalization.Because get() will block the UI thread.
I have an project and I'm trying to convey to data from JSON Array to normal array. But I could not this. Can you help me if you know which and where code I add to in my project. My Main Activity file is here

JSON is working whitout any problem. I want to add my JSON data to my " private String[] stringArray;"
Here is how the JSON is formatted:
{
"uyelerimiz":[
{
"kategori_adi":"Bilgisayar"
},
{
"kategori_adi" :"Cep Telefonu"
},
{
"kategori_adi":"Saglik"
},
{
"kategori_adi":"Kirtasiye"
}
]
}
private String[] parseJson(String response){
try {
JSONObject lJsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
JSONArray lJsonArray = lJsonObject.getJSONArray("uyelerimiz");
String[] lResult = new String[lJsonArray.length()];
for (int index = 0;index<lJsonArray.length();index++){
lResult[index] = lJsonArray.getJSONObject(index).getString("kategori_adi");
}
return lResult;
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;

I'm really bad at googling things I want so I decided to ask here. My question is is it possible to show a progress bar while fetching the data from the database? I'm using the typical code when fetching data(Pass value to php and the php will do the query and pass it again to android)
Edit(I have tried adding proggressdialog but the problem now is the loaded data will appear first before the progress dialog here's my AsyncTask code)

Have you tried using an AsyncTask?
You can show your progress bar on the preExecute method and then hide it on postExecute. You can do your querying inside the doInBackground method.
In addition to what #torque203 pointed, I would suggest you to check
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#onProgressUpdate(Progress...)
this method was created for that purpose, showing progress to the user.
From developers docs:
private class DownloadFilesTask extends AsyncTask<URL, Integer, Long> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
//show progress bar here
}
protected Long doInBackground(URL... urls) {
//Pass value to PHP here
//get values from your PHP
}
protected void onPostExecute(Long result) {
//Here you are ready with your PHP value. Dismiss progress bar here.
}
}
public void onPreExecute() {
Progress Dialog pDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
pDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
pDialog.show();
}
public void doInBackground() {
//do your JSON Coding
}
public void onPostExecute() {
Progress Dialog pDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
pDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
pDialog.show();
}
