You should read the input stream using the charset UTF-8 like this:
replace
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
by
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8));
I use this to decode json with japanese inside.

Not able to get data from Json completely

i am getting JSON data from http://abinet.org/?json=1 and displaying the titles in a ListView. the code is working fine but the problem is, it is skipping few titles in my ListView and one title is being repeated.
You can see the json data from url given above by copy paste it in JSON editor online http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/
i want titles in the "posts" array to be displayed in ListView, however it is being displayed like this:
if you see the JSON data from the link above, its missing like 3 titles (they should come between the first and second title) and 5th title is being repeated. Dont know why this is happening. What minor adjustments i need to do? Please help me.
this is my code :
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// URL to get contacts JSON
private static String url = "http://abinet.org/?json=1";
// JSON Node names
private static final String TAG_POSTS = "posts";
static final String TAG_TITLE = "title";
private ProgressDialog pDialog;
JSONArray contacts = null;
TextView img_url;
ArrayList<HashMap<String, Object>> contactList;
ListView lv;
LazyAdapter adapter;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.newslist);
contactList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, Object>>();
new GetContacts().execute();
}
private class GetContacts extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
// Showing progress dialog
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
pDialog.setMessage("Please wait...");
pDialog.setCancelable(false);
pDialog.show();
}
protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
// Making a request to url and getting response
JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();
// Getting JSON from URL
JSONObject jsonObj = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(url);
// if (jsonStr != null) {
try {
// Getting JSON Array node
contacts = jsonObj.getJSONArray(TAG_POSTS);
// looping through All Contacts
for (int i = 0; i < contacts.length(); i++) {
// JSONObject c = contacts.getJSONObject(i);
JSONObject posts = contacts.getJSONObject(i);
String title = posts.getString(TAG_TITLE).replace("’", "'");
JSONArray attachment = posts.getJSONArray("attachments");
for (int j = 0; j< attachment.length(); j++){
JSONObject obj = attachment.getJSONObject(j);
JSONObject image = obj.getJSONObject("images");
JSONObject image_small = image.getJSONObject("thumbnail");
String imgurl = image_small.getString("url");
HashMap<String, Object> contact = new HashMap<String, Object>();
contact.put("image_url", imgurl);
contact.put(TAG_TITLE, title);
contactList.add(contact);
}
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
// Dismiss the progress dialog
if (pDialog.isShowing())
pDialog.dismiss();
adapter=new LazyAdapter(MainActivity.this, contactList);
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}
}
this is my JsonParser class (although its not required):
public JSONParser() {
}
public JSONObject getJSONFromUrl(String url) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "n");
}
is.close();
json = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
}
and this is adapter class:
public class LazyAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private Activity activity;
private ArrayList<HashMap<String, Object>> data;
private static LayoutInflater inflater=null;
public LazyAdapter(Activity a,ArrayList<HashMap<String, Object>> d) {
activity = a;
data=d;
inflater = (LayoutInflater)activity.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
public int getCount() {
return data.size();
}
public Object getItem(int position) {
return position;
}
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View vi=convertView;
if(convertView==null)
vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.third_row, null);
TextView title = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.headline3); // title
SmartImageView iv = (SmartImageView) vi.findViewById(R.id.imageicon);
HashMap<String, Object> song = new HashMap<String, Object>();
song = data.get(position);
// Setting all values in listview
title.setText((CharSequence) song.get(MainActivity.TAG_TITLE));
iv.setImageUrl((String) song.get("image_url"));
thumb_image);
return vi;
}
}
Please help me. I am stuck at this for more than a week now. I think there is just something to be changed in my MainActivity class.

Some of the 10 (well today there are 10 ) 'titles' have no 'attachments'. Some have one and some have two. There are only 5 titles wich have one or two images. You only create a new
HashMap<String, Object> contact
if there are attachments. (The attachment are the images). You should create the 'contact' before you enter the attachments loop. Further you only need one image for each title. You can set the image null if there are no attachments. In getView if the image is null you set some image from your drawable res.

here is a nice tutorial for you to import json data http://mrbool.com/how-to-use-json-to-parse-data-into-android-application/28944
if its hard for you still.i can suggest you one thing ,you can import your rss to any website and customize it there as you want it to be and post them as json data it will be easier to do i guess.
its a raugh test for geting json data only the method i think its a bit easier and detail u can return the values instead of showing them in a text from the textvw
public void getdata()
{
String result=null;
InputStream inputstream=null;
try{
HttpClient httpclient=new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost=new HttpPost("http://www.hadid.aero/news_and_json");
HttpResponse response=httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity httpentity=response.getEntity();
inputstream= httpentity.getContent();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
resultview.setText(ex.getMessage()+"at 1st exception");
}
try{

String line=null;
while((line=reader.readLine())!= null)
{

}
inputstream.close();

}
catch(Exception ex)
{

}

for(int i=0; i<jarray.length();i++)

Use below method to parse your response:
public void parseHttpResponse(String response){
JSONObject object;
try {
object = (JSONObject) new JSONTokener(response).nextValue();
JSONArray jsonArray = object.getJSONArray("machine");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
String id=c.getString("id");
String machineCode=c.getString("machine_code");
//so as parse other
Log.v(TAG, "id: "+id+" machine code: "+machineCode);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Use :

Background : I am trying to develop my first android application which is a student discussion panel. I am good with PHP and MySQL but don't have much experience in android Java.
Issue:
In SelectedQuestionActivity class, if I simply give the URL as http://thewbs.getfreehosting.co.uk/talky/fetchans.php?qid=3, it works just fine and it fetches the corresponding answer to the question.
But if I do it the way I have shown in the code below, the application crashes. I am not sure where I am wrong.
CODE:
AllQuestionActivity.java
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// getting values from selected ListItem
String pid = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.qid)).getText()
.toString();
//pid is the value of the selected question for example www.example.com/fetchans?qid=3 so here pid value is supposed to be 3.
// Starting new intent
Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
SelectedQuestionActivity.class);
// sending pid to next activity
in.putExtra(TAG_PID, pid);
startActivity(in);
}
});
Now in SelectedQuestionActivity.java
code:
public class SelectedQuestionActivity extends ListActivity {
// Progress Dialog
private ProgressDialog pDialog;
// Creating JSON Parser object
JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> productsList;
Intent intent = getIntent();
String qid = intent.getExtras().getString(TAG_PID);
// url to get all products list
private String url_all_products = "http://thewbs.getfreehosting.co.uk/talky/fetchans.php?qid="+qid;
// JSON Node names
private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
private static final String TAG_PRODUCTS = "ques";
private static final String TAG_PID = "aid";
private static final String TAG_NAME = "aname";
private static final String TAG_INFO = "answer";
private static final String TAG_DATE = "date";
// products JSONArray
JSONArray products = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.all_ans);
// Hashmap for ListView
productsList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
// Loading products in Background Thread
new LoadAllProducts().execute();
// Get listview
ListView lv = getListView();
}
class LoadAllProducts extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
/**
* Before starting background thread Show Progress Dialog
* */
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(SelectedQuestionActivity.this);
pDialog.setMessage("Loading Answers. Please wait...");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setCancelable(false);
pDialog.show();
}
protected String doInBackground(String... args) {
// Building Parameters
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
// getting JSON string from URL
JSONObject json = jParser.makeHttpRequest(url_all_products, "GET", params);
// Check your log cat for JSON reponse
Log.d("All Answers: ", json.toString());
try {
// Checking for SUCCESS TAG
int success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);
if (success == 1) {
// products found
products = json.getJSONArray(TAG_PRODUCTS);
// looping through All Products
for (int i = 0; i < products.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = products.getJSONObject(i);
// Storing each json item in variable
String id = c.getString(TAG_PID);
String name = c.getString(TAG_NAME);
String info = c.getString(TAG_INFO);
String date = c.getString(TAG_DATE);
// creating new HashMap
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
// adding each child node to HashMap key => value
map.put(TAG_PID, id);
map.put(TAG_NAME, name);
map.put(TAG_INFO, info);
map.put(TAG_DATE, date);
// adding HashList to ArrayList
productsList.add(map);
}
}
else {
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
/**

* **/
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
// dismiss the dialog after getting all products
pDialog.dismiss();
// updating UI from Background Thread
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {

ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(
SelectedQuestionActivity.this, productsList,
R.layout.list_selected_ques, new String[] { TAG_PID,
TAG_NAME, TAG_INFO, TAG_DATE },
new int[] { R.id.aid, R.id.aname, R.id.answer, R.id.date});
// updating listview
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
});
}
}
}
JSONparser.java
public class JSONParser {
static InputStream is = null;

Currently you are trying to getIntent outside onCreate of ListActivity so move it inside onCreate method as :
Intent intent;
String qid;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.all_ans);
// get Intent here
intent = getIntent();
qid = intent.getExtras().getString(TAG_PID);
// your code here
and also no need to use runOnUiThread method for updating UI from onPostExecute because onPostExecute method called on Ui thread we can access UI elements in it
EDIT:-
you are not adding any paramter to NameValuePair inside doInBackground . add quid before sending it to makeHttpRequest as :
protected String doInBackground(String... args) {
// Building Parameters
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
add quid param here
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("qid",qid)); //<<<< add here
// getting JSON string from URL
JSONObject json = jParser.makeHttpRequest(
url_all_products,
"GET",
params);
// your code here

You are passing a string from one activity object to another , while you didn't write code to receive it on the new activity in the right place.
To solve this you should add some code to your onCreate:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.all_ans);
String url = getIntent().getStringExtra(TAG_PID);
if (url != null)
url_all_products = url;

You should need to get your intent values in onCreate() as below :
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.all_ans);
Intent intent = getIntent();
String qid = intent.getExtras().getString(TAG_PID);
}
