How would I go about displaying data from an API website and putting it in text format on an activity page?

I want to show data in a sensible form for my movie database app. The website I am using to extract data from is www.omdbapi.com. I have already created a code that extracts the title and year of the movies and displays it in a ListView form which contains items that are all clickable to another activity. I would like each activity that the ListView item clicks to to display the movie information under different headers etc.
I have been stuck on this issue all day. I'm new to coding and have no clue what most processes are called etc. Im not asking for the entire code, just instructions on what to do because I am stumped. I would be very very grateful.
Thank you.
Depending on the format the response is formatted you would either use (probably) an xml parser or a JSON parser and grab the info between specific xml tags or the specific keys within the JSON output.
There are thousands of examples of both methods. If you can get the title to display, then you already know how to get the other elements.

Autogrowing RecyclerView From Json Feed

I have a json feed. I have to display the data in a recyclerview, I have done this in a smooth way, and it works. the feed contains information about 50 movies and if i change the limit in feed link i will get more details (ex : https://myfeed_example.com/rss/topmovies/limit=50/json) if I change the limit to 100 I will get 100 feeds, thats how it works, right now how I am parsing is first I am fetching the whole json feed and iterates through and shows in a recyclerview. that means it will display 50 movie details in the list.
but what I want is first I have to show details of 20 movies, and when the user reaches at the bottom of list, have to load remaining 20 and so on. there are two ways we can follow for this.
If a real time json reader is available, we can read parse feed and
display
We can download all the feed for the first time and and parse all and put in memory and load required data, like that we can do.
which is the correct approach for making an autogrowing list ?
The first option is the correct one.
Then in your Recylcerview adapter append to the list of movies using something like this.
public void appendMovies(List<Movie> movies) {
int size = mMovies.size();
mShots.addAll(movies);
notifyItemRangeInserted(size, mMovies.size());
}

How to get JSON data from reddit after the first page

So I am currently making an app to work with and learn more about JSON (using GSON) and decided to go with a reddit browsing app. I am currently able to get the JSON data by using "http://www.reddit.com/.json" and this will get me the JSON for the first 25 posts. I am trying to get the information for the next posts by using
"http://www.reddit.com/.json?count=25&after=" + name_of_last_post
which name_of_last_post is the name field from my GSON for the last post. This however just brings up the first page's posts again with their numbering starting at 25, I get that the numbering starts at 25 because count is set to 25. What I am asking is what is the format of the string I can create to get that next set of JSON items. you can try this your self by going to reddit.com/.json and taking that into a json editor and formatting it nicely than going to the next page of reddit and adding .json before the ?count=25&after=, you will see that the text following after= does not seem to appear on the first JSON file anywhere. If there are any parts of this question that are still unclear please leave a comment and I will check in on it later. Thanks and have a great day.
There are a couple of fields that you can use in order to fetch the next page on JSON.
You could either retrieve the 'name' of the last post, or instead of parsing the whole block, you can retrieve the last couple of fields from the JSON that reddit gives you. There are a couple of fields that you can easily use to navigate pages forwards and backwards, they're conveniently called 'after' and 'before'
Having that value, you can mount your URL with it, which in this case is http://www.reddit.com/.json?count=25&after=t3_3gi42o
This will get you a new JSON, with different 'after' and 'before' fields, pictured below:
