First item in ListView from Adapter is missing some constraints

Having an issue that popped up recently with seemingly no change to my code. With a list of news that's fetched, the first item in the list always has broken constraints.
The template is a vertical linear layout, that has the title, and a constraint layout under that with the image, description, source, and time of the article. The information gets placed into the template via a custom adapter class, which nothing has changed in since the issue started.

Here is the method I wrote to read from the file and add the objects the birdList ArrayList.
Where am I going wrong?
public void getJSON() {
String jsonString;
try {
InputStream inputStream = getAssets().open("birds.json");
int size = inputStream.available();
byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
inputStream.read(buffer);
inputStream.close();
jsonString = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonString);
Log.e("MainActivity", "The json is: " + jsonString);
for(int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length();i++){
JSONObject obj = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
Bird bird = new Bird();
bird.setScientificName(obj.getString("scientific_name"));
bird.setCommonName(obj.getString("common_name"));
bird.setNumberImage(obj.getString("image"));
bird.setDescription(obj.getString("description"));
birdList.add(bird);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Here is the json file I am reading from.
{
"birds": [
{
"scientific_name": "Cyanocitta stelleri",
"common_name": "Steller's jay",
"image": "stellers_jay",
"description": "The Steller's jay is a jay native to western North America, closely related to the blue jay found in the rest of the continent, but with a black head and upper body. It is also known as the long-crested jay, mountain jay, Braham's jay and pine jay. It is the only crested jay west of the Rocky Mountains."
},
{
"scientific_name": "Tachycineta thalassina",
"common_name": "Violet-green swallow",
"image": "violet_green_swallow",
"description": "The violet-green swallow is a small North American passerine bird in the swallow family. These aerial insectivores are distributed along the west coast from Alaska to Mexico, extending as far east as Montana and Texas. With an appearance very similar to the tree swallow, these individuals can be identified by the white rump side-patches that appear to separate their green back and purple tail. "
},
{
"scientific_name": "Turdus migratorius",
"common_name": "American robin",
"image": "american_robin",
"description": "The American robin is a migratory songbird of the true thrush genus and Turdidae, the wider thrush family. It is named after the European robin[2] because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the Old World flycatcher family. The American robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering from southern Canada to central Mexico and along the Pacific Coast. "
}
]
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Your json starts from {}, so firstly you should write
JSONObject jsonobject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
Rest is ok

Swagger API Annotation for Java using Enum as options which break request

I have a class defined called Website Locale which lits all supported locales for my site
public enum WebsiteLocale {
AU ("au", 5, "en", "AUD"), // Australia
CA ("ca", 6, "en", "CAD"), // Canada
DE ("de", 1, "de", "EUR"), // Germany
ES ("es", 1, "es", "EUR"), // Spain
ES_US ("es-us", 2, "es", "USD"), // USA, Spanish language
EU ("eu", 4, "en", "EUR"), // Europe: English and Euros
FR ("fr", 1, "fr", "EUR"), // France
FR_US ("fr-us", 2, "fr", "USD"), // USA, French language
IT ("it", 1, "it", "EUR"), // Italy
NL ("nl", 3, "en", "EUR"), // Netherlands
UK ("uk", 1, "en", "GBP"), // UK
US ("us", 2, "en", "USD"); // USA
... getters / setters... }
In my API resource I have the following annotation
#GET
#Path("/countries")
#ApiOperation("Get countries")
#CacheControl(maxAge = 1, maxAgeUnit = TimeUnit.HOURS)
#Override
public List<CountryDto> getCountries(
#QueryParam("websiteLocale") #ApiParam(required = true, defaultValue = "uk") final WebsiteLocale websiteLocale) {
return delegate.getCountries(websiteLocale);
In the Swagger API test page for that endpoint it gives the accepted values as the Enum literals themselves
e.g. AU, CA, DE, ES, ES_US, EU, FR, FR_US
This breaks the controller (404 not found response) because it is looking for the associated string key for that enum
i.e. au, ca, de, es, es-us, eu, fr, fr-us
I had a look through swagger but could not see any specific annotation to look for a part of the enum properties.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Displaying Data in a Table Android Development?

Working on my first app for android and want to display some data in a table(or something similar). After looking around here I guess android does not support something like a JTable; someone said you have to create a custom table? What is the best way to display data that is a string in CSV format? In a Java app I created I have a function that creates a 2D Array out of the string and throws that into a JTable.
Data Format in String:
Sun 02-16-14 09:45 PM,1,REAL TIRED,JUST WACK AT IT,2 - 4,
Sun 02-23-14 08:10 PM,1,BALLERS,REAL TIRED,4 - 11,
Sun 03-02-14 09:00 PM,1,REAL TIRED,EL TRI,1 - 7,
Sun 03-09-14 05:50 PM,1,GO GO POWER RANGERS,REAL TIRED,4 - 9,
Sun 03-16-14 06:40 PM,1,REAL TIRED,GAME OF GROANS,16 - 0,
Sun 03-23-14 09:00 PM,1,HUNGOVER HAT TRICKS,REAL TIRED,
Sun 03-30-14 07:25 PM,1,REAL TIRED,PRESTIGE WORLD WIDE,
Sun 04-06-14 04:20 PM,1,REAL TIRED,BALLERS,
Not sure if there are any good options because of the limited space for mobile devices. Maybe only display one row at a time and be able to click through them?

You can try this example, you will be very comfortable with this code. Even though if you want to add rows in the table view dynamically from an server or from an API call then just create a for loop and add it according this example.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
String[] presidents = { "Dwight D. Eisenhower", "John F. Kennedy",
"Lyndon B. Johnson", "Richard Nixon", "Gerald Ford",
"Jimmy Carter", "Ronald Reagan", "George H. W. Bush",
"Bill Clinton", "George W. Bush", "Barack Obama",
"Dwight D. Eisenhower", "John F. Kennedy", "Lyndon B. Johnson",
"Richard Nixon", "Gerald Ford", "Jimmy Carter",
"Ronald Reagan", "George H. W. Bush", "Bill Clinton",
"George W. Bush", "Barack Obama", "Dwight D. Eisenhower",
"John F. Kennedy", "Lyndon B. Johnson", "Richard Nixon",
"Gerald Ford", "Jimmy Carter", "Ronald Reagan",
"George H. W. Bush", "Bill Clinton", "George W. Bush",
"Barack Obama" };
ScrollView scrollView = new ScrollView(this);
TableLayout tableLayout = new TableLayout(this);
for (int i = 0; i < presidents.length; i++) {
TableRow tableRow = new TableRow(this);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setPadding(10, 10, 10, 10);
tv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
tv.setText(presidents[i]);
tableRow.addView(tv);
tableLayout.addView(tableRow);
View v = new View(this);
v.setLayoutParams(new TableRow.LayoutParams(
TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 1));
v.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(51, 51, 51));
tableLayout.addView(v);
}
scrollView.addView(tableLayout);
setContentView(scrollView);
}
}
Hope so you would like this. If this is suitable to you then please mark as accepted answer so that it could be helpful for others.

JSON Parsing using minimal-json and Gson

I have a java program which retrieves data for a particular TV show and returns a JSON response with the details.
My problem is with parsing the JSON response to get one particular key-value pair, namely the "first_aired_iso" string, which gives the air date for that episode.
Here is the URL which calls the API
String api_url = "http://api.trakt.tv/show/season.json/<api-key>/the-walking-dead/1";

Well, you get the idea...
I just need to extract the key value for "first_aired_iso" for each episode.
Here is my code to do that
String s = response.toString();
Gson gson = new Gson();
String jsonstr = gson.toJson(s);
System.out.println(jsonstr);
JsonArray json = JsonArray.readFrom(jsonstr);
for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
System.out.println(json.get(i).asString());
}
Problem is, there is absolutely no response after printing the raw JSON output.
I can't get it to enter the loop at all.
For reference, please check http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2013/04/18/minimal-json-parser-for-java/

My solution:

ArrayList<Map> al = new Gson().fromJson(json, ArrayList.class);
for(Map m : al){
System.out.printf("Ep. %.0f aired on %s\n", m.get("episode"), m.get("first_aired_iso"));
}
}
This is the execution:
1 aired on 2010-10-31T21:00:00-05:00
2 aired on 2010-11-07T21:00:00-06:00

5 aired on 2010-11-28T21:00:00-06:00
6 aired on 2010-12-05T21:00:00-06:00
You should always let Gson do the work for you. In this case you have an list of objects (map). So tell Gson to deserialize in that way and access to the structure using generic for loop and map access.

String s = response.toString();
JsonArray json = JsonArray.readFrom(s);
for (int i = 0; i < json.size(); i++) {
JsonObject show = json.get(i).asObject();
int episode = show.get("episode").asInt();
String time = show.get("first_aired_iso").asString();
System.out.println("Episode " + episode + " - " + time);
}
Thanks a lot HotLicks! :)
