Get multiple Objects from Json Android

I want to get data from this but its to confusing, how to do it.
I want to access legs. In legs distance then text.
Then after steps, in steps again distance and then text.
In "routes" ==> "legs" --> distance --> text
Then to get driving steps
"routes" ==> "legs" ==> "steps" --> distance --> text
First there is object then array again object its too confusing. Any help would be appreciated.

Manual method:
In few words Json gives you objects (beetwen { } ) or array (beetwen [ ] ). To get sth from deep in json you have to go through each level. You put only fragment of json, but I closed it and we have at start json object (because main braces are {} ):

Let's say you have this as a String named "jsonString". You create json object like this:
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
Than you needs "routes" that is json array (between [] braces). You create this array going deeper into your main jsonObject:
JSONArray routesArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("routes");
To go through each array element (that are json objects) you iterate like this:
for (int i = 0; i < routesArray.length(); i++) {
//do sth
}
And you get your "legs" like this:
JSONObject routeObject = routesArray.get(i);
routeObject.get("legs");
And deeper and deeper like above.
Automatically
It's much easier to use Gson library and some Json Pojo parsers.
You import gson in your build.gradle:
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.4'
Than you can use this parser. Select source type "JSON" and "Annotation style" Gson. Put your json in text box and click Preview or download ZIP. You can also put your package name and main class name or rename it manually later. You will be given multiple model classes with top one called "Example" or your name. It consists of two fields:
public class Example {
#SerializedName("geocoded_waypoints")
#Expose
private List<GeocodedWaypoint> geocodedWaypoints = new ArrayList<GeocodedWaypoint>();
#SerializedName("routes")
#Expose
private List<Route> routes = new ArrayList<Route>();
Add all classes to your project and than you just parse your jsonString to your main class like this:
Example mainClassObject = new Gson().fromJson(jsonString, Example.class);
And now you can access routes from this object. And legs from routes and deeper and deeper...

Please try below code to parse provided json keys value :
private void parseJson(String jsonString){
ArrayList<String> legsDistanceList = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayList<String> legStepsDistanceList = new ArrayList<>();
try{
JSONObject rootJson = new JSONObject(jsonString);
if(rootJson.has("routes")) {
JSONArray routesJsonArray = rootJson.getJSONArray("routes");
for(int i=0;i<routesJsonArray.length();i++){
JSONObject routeJson = routesJsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
if(routeJson.has("legs")){
JSONArray legsJsonArray = routeJson.getJSONArray("legs");
for(int j=0;j<legsJsonArray.length();j++){
JSONObject legJson = legsJsonArray.getJSONObject(j);
if(legJson.has("distance")){
JSONObject distanceJson = legJson.getJSONObject("distance");
legsDistanceList.add(distanceJson.getString("text"));
}
if(legJson.has("steps")){
JSONArray stepsJsonArray = legJson.getJSONArray("steps");
for(int k=0;k<stepsJsonArray.length();k++){
JSONObject stepJson = stepsJsonArray.getJSONObject(k);
if(stepJson.has("distance")){
JSONObject stepDistanceJson = stepJson.getJSONObject("distance");
legStepsDistanceList.add(stepDistanceJson.getString("text"));
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}catch (Throwable e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
Log.i("Legs Distance ",legsDistanceList.toString());
Log.i("Legs Steps Distance ",legStepsDistanceList.toString());
}
I think above code might be difficult for you to understand at this stage but once you understand then it will more helpful to you for future JSON parsing stuff.

you can third parties(Gson, Logan Square,etc..) for parsing. If you are trying to access it directly. Below you can find the sample code to access the "legs" array.
Let us assume
JsonObject jsonObject = new JsonObject("json string");
this "jsonObject" is the full json value, from which you want to access the "legs" array. In this scenario the "legs" array is inside the "routes" array. So we need to get the "routes" array first and loop that array and get the "legs" array from each object and store in POJO class or if you want to fetch the "text" alone from the "distance" means you can store that in arraylist or string which you need. Below is the sample code to get the text alone.
JsonArray routesArray = jsonObject.optJsonArray("routes");
if (routesArray != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < routesArray.length(); i++) {
JsonArray legsArray = routesArray.get(i).optJsonArray("legs");
if (legsArray != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < legsArray.length(); i++) {
JsonObject legObject = legsArray.get(i);
JsonObject distanceObject = legObject.optJsonObject("distance");
String textValue = distanceObject.optString("text");
}
}
}
}
Hope this is helpful :)

Read JSON from GoogleApis

I'm new to android and I'm having some trouble trying to read this JSON from :
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=portugal&sensor=true
{
"results" : [
{
"address_components" : [
{
"long_name" : "Portugal",
"short_name" : "PT",
"types" : [ "country", "political" ]
}
],
"formatted_address" : "Portugal",
"geometry" : {
"bounds" : {
"northeast" : {
"lat" : 42.15420480,
"lng" : -6.19020910
},
"southwest" : {
"lat" : 32.403740,
"lng" : -31.2751580
}
},
"location" : {
"lat" : 39.39987199999999,
"lng" : -8.2244540
},
"location_type" : "APPROXIMATE",
"viewport" : {
"northeast" : {
"lat" : 42.15420480,
"lng" : -6.19020910
},
"southwest" : {
"lat" : 36.96017720,
"lng" : -9.51711070
}
}
},
"types" : [ "country", "political" ]
}
],
"status" : "OK"
}
Can anybody point me to some library or some code to get me started? :D
Ty in advance
EDIT
Is is possible to use this result and show the actual location in google maps in an Activity?

It's the parsing problem. You can use google http java client. There are some example in here

results[0].address_components[0].long_name will output Portugal
results[0].geometry.location.lat will output 39.39987199999999
etc...
you can use the lat and lng to center the map on that location using map.setCenter(latlng:LatLng)

i tried something like that
String data = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(data);
Object jj=jsonObj.getJSONObject("results").get("name");
but i got JSONEXCEPTION

results is an array not an object:
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(data);
JSONArray results =jsonObj.getJSONArray("results");
for (int i = 0; i < results.length(); i++) {
JSONObject result = results.getJSONObject(i);
String name = result.getString("name");
Log.d("tag", "name: " + name)
}
Don't have a compiler here so cannot check syntax.

Geting json response from Google places API in android

My simple android application uses google places api to get the latitude and longitude of a place. I am getting the json response from the google api as below
{
"results" : [
{
"address_components" : [
{
"long_name" : "Chennai",
"short_name" : "Chennai",
"types" : [ "locality", "political" ]
},
{
"long_name" : "Chennai",
"short_name" : "Chennai",
"types" : [ "administrative_area_level_2", "political" ]
},
{
"long_name" : "Tamil Nadu",
"short_name" : "TN",
"types" : [ "administrative_area_level_1", "political" ]
},
{
"long_name" : "India",
"short_name" : "IN",
"types" : [ "country", "political" ]
}
],
"formatted_address" : "Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India",
"geometry" : {
"bounds" : {
"northeast" : {
"lat" : 13.23408510,
"lng" : 80.33229129999999
},
"southwest" : {
"lat" : 12.94592670,
"lng" : 80.14878270
}
},
"location" : {
"lat" : 13.0604220,
"lng" : 80.2495830
},
"location_type" : "APPROXIMATE",
"viewport" : {
"northeast" : {
"lat" : 13.14736150,
"lng" : 80.37764240
},
"southwest" : {
"lat" : 12.97345190,
"lng" : 80.12152360
}
}
},
"types" : [ "locality", "political" ]
}
],
"status" : "OK"
}
Now i want to get the this part in the json response,
"location" : {
"lat" : 13.0604220,
"lng" : 80.2495830
}
I only get the whole "geometry" part as string through this method
JSONObject e = address.getJSONObject(0);
e.getString("geometry")
How to use the only location values. Any help is appreciated. I'm not sure what is going wrong.

JSONObject e = address.getJSONObject(0);
JSONObject jsonLocation = e.getJSONObject("geometry").getJSONObject("location");
and use
String lat = jsonLocation.getString("lat");
String lng = jsonLocation.getString("lng");
to get latitude and longitude.

You can also get location values as follows:
For Longitude:
Double lon = ((JSONArray)jsonObject.get("results")).getJSONObject(0)
.getJSONObject("geometry").getJSONObject("location")
.getDouble("lng");
For Latitude:
Double lat = ((JSONArray)jsonObject.get("results")).getJSONObject(0)
.getJSONObject("geometry").getJSONObject("location")
.getDouble("lat");

Try this. It worked for me.
JSONObject result = jsonObject.getJSONObject("result");
Double lat = result.getJSONObject("geometry").getJSONObject("location").getDouble("lat");
Double lng = result.getJSONObject("geometry").getJSONObject("location").getDouble("lng");

Google Places JSON Throws a Parsing Error in Android

I'm writing an android app that takes your current location and returns a list of the stores near you using the Google Places web service. I'm able to get back (what I think is) valid JSON, but when I go to parse the JSON using the Android JSONObject library, I get a parsing error.
Here is my class:
public class StoresNearMe {

private String searchRadius = "50";
private Location myLocation;
final String TAG = getClass().getSimpleName();
public StoresNearMe(Location location){
myLocation = location;
}//StoresNearMe
public String getStoresNearMe(){
String result = "Nothing";
result = callGoogleWebService(buildURLForGooglePlaces(myLocation));
convertJSONtoArray(result);
return result;
}//getStoresNearMe
private String callGoogleWebService(String url){
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);
//request.addHeader("deviceId", deviceId);
ResponseHandler<String> handler = new BasicResponseHandler();
try {
result = httpclient.execute(request, handler);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
return result;
}//callWebService
private String buildURLForGooglePlaces(Location location){
String baseUrl = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?";
String lat = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
String lon = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());
String url = baseUrl + "location=" + lat + "," + lon + "&" +
"radius=" + searchRadius + "&" + "sensor=false" +
"&" + "key=" + googleAPIKey;
Log.d(TAG,url);
return url;
}//buildURLForGooglePlaces
private void convertJSONtoArray(String rawJSON){
try {
JSONObject completeJSONObj = new JSONObject(rawJSON);
String json = completeJSONObj.toString();
Log.d(TAG,json);
JSONObject results = completeJSONObj.getJSONObject("results");
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.d(TAG,"JSON parsing error - fix it:" + e.getMessage());
}
}//convertJSONtoArray

Any help is appreciated - I'm not sure what is going wrong.
Thanks!

The problem is that you're trying to read an array in as an object.
Change
JSONObject results = completeJSONObj.getJSONObject("results");
to
JSONArray results = completeJSONObj.getJSONArray("results");
and the parse exception goes away.

your JSON should be Valid : example :
{\"key\":\"value\" }
