Google Places JSON Throws a Parsing Error in Android - 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 result = "";
private String googleAPIKey = "Omitted for this example";
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
}//StoresNearMe
Here is the JSON returned by my call:

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\" }

I use volley that gives parse exception.
Here is my code
I am trying to parse JSON format using volley using below code.
JsonArrayRequest jsonArrayRequest = new JsonArrayRequest(url, new Response.Listener<JSONArray>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONArray response) {
for (int i = 0; i < response.length(); i++) {
try {
JSONObject object = response.getJSONObject(i);
JSONObject result = object.getJSONObject("result");
JSONArray array = result.getJSONArray("address_components");
Log.d("result", "" + array.length());
for (int adress = 0; adress < array.length(); adress++) {
JSONObject object1 = array.getJSONObject(i);
Log.d("result", object1.getString("long_name"));
Log.d("result", object1.getString("short_name"));
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
//Error lisnter for request
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.d("error", error.getMessage());
}
});
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
requestQueue.add(jsonArrayRequest );
Can Anyone help what I am missing in this?
here is exception.
Note-: org.json.JSONException: Value {"html_attributions":[],"result":{"address_components":[{"long_name":"Ahmedabad","short_name":"Ahmedabad","t.........}
Thanks in advance !!
Do this :
your response starts with jsonObject'{' not jsonArray'['
JsonObjectRequest jsonObjectRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(url, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = response.getJSONObject("result");
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("address_components");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject object = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
Log.d("result", object.getString("long_name"));
Log.d("result", object.getString("short_name"));
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
//Error lisnter for request
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.d("error", error.getMessage());
}
});
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
requestQueue.add(jsonArrayRequest );

How to get place-id using geocode latlng address android

I am using MapclickListener onclick of map getting latlng I am geocoding them I want the place id from that geocoded address and the places details using that address.
mMap.setOnMapClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener() {
#Override
public void onMapClick(LatLng latLng) {
mMap.clear();
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(latLng));
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.ENGLISH);
try {
List<Address> addressList = geocoder.getFromLocation(latLng.latitude,latLng.longitude,1);
// Get geocode address
// ***https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Address&key=GOOGLE_KEY***
// Get place_id using this address
// Get place details using the place_id
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, DEFAULT_ZOOM));
}
});
You have to make two API calls
First would be -
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=500&types=food&name=cruise&key=YOUR_API_KEY
Here you will get JSON:
{
"html_attributions" : [],
"results" : [
{
"geometry" : {
"location" : {
"lat" : -33.870775,
"lng" : 151.199025
}
},
...
"place_id" : "ChIJrTLr-GyuEmsRBfy61i59si0",
...
}
],
"status" : "OK"
}
After you get your json, your next step would be to call -
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?place_id=ChIJrTLr-GyuEmsRBfy61i59si0&key=YOUR_API_KEY
Were you will get json like this:
{
"html_attributions" : [],
"result" : {
"address_components" : [
{
"long_name" : "5",
"short_name" : "5",

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");
