I want to know how to parse the web service response data in android .Actually i m accessing the .net web service.I can get a result of some complex type.i want to know how to retrive a particular value from this complex type.Is there is any parser avilable to parse the content of the response or else we have to parse manually? If u have any code snippet pls bring me.
First of all - what content type you are talking about? XML and JSON are supported I believe. I've been using just plain HttpClient to get the responses
if you need to parse XML response, see here:

I want to parse website using retrofit, but I don't know how to create POJO.
And I don't have a json.

This is the website where I want to parse information.
if your website does not have an API or anyway to get JSON data then you should consider Web Scraping. You cant make POJO/Models without JSON Data
i'm new to android coding, and i was wondering if you can get a JSON from a webpage with Get Request(eg. http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx/test) and get specific fields in that JSON?
And How can I Do that?
Yes, you can use the volley library or asynctask for connecting to a webservice and getting the JSON objects/array or string.
i need to get a website (any website ) in json format to use it with android and json parser to get data and if possible that the website include images to be able to download data and images using json parser.
i have been searching about 2 days without any success, its my first time that i use json so i do know where to search and how to search.
what i need is a website to make a test on it that will be available in json format
anyone can help me ???
i will appreciate that.
Use http://www.jsontest.com/ to get JSON from that website.
Read there and for example if you call http://ip.jsontest.com/ you will get a JSON response as {"ip": "203.92.62.242"} then you can parse them in your android application.

Facebook programmers provide the json format for each request.
All you have to do is :
If the facebook page url is : http://www.facebook.com/youtube
To get json format of page, request this : http://graph.facebook.com/youtube
I suggest to read that :
Usually standard web service today provide data in at least two format: json and xml for each endpoint (url), you just add .xml or .json extension to the requested url.
But most of the time you don't have to do that, common web services today always provide json data because it's defined in RESTFul rules. If they dont, you can't get the json. The case is same for you, just ask the developer for API docs.
I have an application which uses restful web services, the service returns a json object.
I wanted to know , what would be better , returning a json or xml response?
Please help as i am new to the concept.
The answer is that it doesn't really matter. They are both almost equivalent. They use slightly different API's so go with the one you feel more comfortable with.
Example of JSON parsing in Android you can find in this question.
Example of XML parsing in Android you can find in this question.
The only reason I can think of to use XML over JSON is when your webservice responses are huge. JSON usually requires the entire response to arrive before you can start parsing. XML easily supports a pull parser which can start parsing "on the fly" before all the data arrives - which can be much more efficient. But if your responses are small, you don't really need all that.
If your existing webservice already returns a JSON object, this could be reason enough to stick with JSON.
I am using wordpress in my website. I want the response from server to be xml response. I came to know that if i use JSON API plugin then i will get json response from server. Right now i am getting html response from server. How to get XML response from server is there any plugin?
