Parsing JsonObjectRequest

I am new to Android and JAVA and I am trying to parse a json response. I know how to parse jsonarray but no Idea how to parse jsonobject. Can someone tell me how? Below is my Response.
{"118":{"garment_color":"Blue","garment_name":"skjhkds","garment_price":"232"},"119":{"garment_color":"hjsadjjs","garment_name":"sdasd","garment_price":"23478"}}
And this is how parsed jsonarray.
public void JSON_DATA_WEB_CALL(){
jsonArrayRequest = new JsonArrayRequest(GET_JSON_DATA_HTTP_URL,
new Response.Listener<JSONArray>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONArray response) {
progressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
JSON_PARSE_DATA_AFTER_WEBCALL(response);
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
}
});
requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
requestQueue.add(jsonArrayRequest);
}
public void JSON_PARSE_DATA_AFTER_WEBCALL(JSONArray array){
for(int i = 0; i<array.length(); i++) {
GetDataAdapter GetDataAdapter2 = new GetDataAdapter();
JSONObject json = null;
try {
json = array.getJSONObject(i);
GetDataAdapter2.setImageTitleNamee(json.getString(JSON_IMAGE_TITLE_NAME));
//GetDataAdapter2.setImageServerLarger(json.getString(JSON_IMAGE_LARGER));
GetDataAdapter2.setImageServerUrl(json.getString(JSON_IMAGE_URL));
GetDataAdapter2.setMrp_price(json.getString(JSON_MRP_PRICE));
GetDataAdapter2.setDisc_price(json.getString(JSON_DISC_PRICE));
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
GetDataAdapter1.add(GetDataAdapter2);
}
recyclerViewadapter = new RecyclerViewAdapter(GetDataAdapter1, this);
recyclerView.setAdapter(recyclerViewadapter);
}
Please Someone help. Thanks.

In my opinion, use Gson library, where you give it the json object/array/string and it automatically parses it into a java object. Note that you have to define the java class with the appropriate fields.
EDIT: So here's an answer that goes with the suggested guidelines:
First create your model classes just like you will receive them from the server:
public class MyServerObject {
MyGarment jsonKeyName;
}
public class MyGarment {
String garment_color;
String garment_name;
String garment_price;
}
Next, after receiving your json string, parse it using Gson:
Gson gson = new Gson();
String json= "{"jsonKeyName":{"garment_color":"Blue","garment_name":"skjhkds","garment_price":"232"};
MyServerObject serverObject = gson.fromJson(json, MyServerObject.class);
Now, you can access your Garment object from your server object with all the values parsed correctly. Also note that if you're receiving a json array you could add the object as a list in your MyServerObject.class.
Hope this helps.

as per my above comment
you need to make JSONObject request instead of JSONArray request
try this to parse your JSON Response
try {
JSONObject jsonObject= new JSONObject("Response");
JSONObject jsonObject1=jsonObject.getJSONObject("118");
String garment_color=jsonObject1.getString("garment_color");
String garment_name=jsonObject1.getString("garment_name");
String garment_price=jsonObject1.getString("garment_price");
JSONObject jsonObject2=jsonObject.getJSONObject("119");
String garment_color2=jsonObject1.getString("garment_color");
String garment_name2=jsonObject1.getString("garment_name");
String garment_price2=jsonObject1.getString("garment_price");
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Use StringRequest instead of JSONObject/JSONArray request and finally fetch value like this:
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(YOUR JSON RESPONSE);
String s1 = object.getJSONObject("118").getString("garment_color");

storing an JSON array in java code array in android

I want to store the json array sent by php code in java array in android. My php code is working perfectly fine but in the app I get name: as the output. I want to display the names in the texview for checking purpose. Also I want to work with the namesby accessing them one by one.
Php code:
echo json_encode(array("result"=>$result));
Java code:
public class Salary {
public static final String DATA_URL1 = "http://********.com/name.php?salary=";
public static final String KEY_name = "name";
public static final String JSON_ARRAY1 = "result";
}
This is a method of my Name.java
private void showJSON(String response) {
String name = "";
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
JSONArray result = jsonObject.getJSONArray(Salary.JSON_ARRAY1);
for (int i = 0; i < result.length(); i++) {
JSONObject collegeData = result.getJSONObject(i);
name = collegeData.getString(Salary.KEY_name);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
textViewResult1.setText("Name:\t" + name);
}

Use GSON Library
ArrayList<Salary> salaryArrayList = new ArrayList<>();
try {
salaryArrayList = new Gson().fromJson(response, new TypeToken<Salary>() {}.getType());
} catch (JsonSyntaxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Then use salaryArrayList to get values.

Convert string to JSON and get value

I have this string:
{"markers":[{"tag":"1","dep":"2"}]}
How to convert it to JSON and get value tag and dep?

you need JSONObject to do this
JsonObjectRequest jsObjRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET,url, null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
String tag, dep;
JSONArray jArray = response.getJSONArray("markers");
JSONObject msg = jArray.getJSONObject(0);
tag = msg.getString("tag");
dep = msg.getString("dep");
}
}

try
{
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(json_str);
JSONArray array= object.getJSONArray("markers");
for(int i=0;i<array.length();i++)
{
JSONObject obj= array.getJSONObject(i);
String tag= obj.getString("tag");
int dep= obj.getInt("dep");
}
}catch(JSONException e){
}
Hope this helps.

it's good habbit to serialize the json to pojo object ..
here you can use Gson (a google library to serialize/deserialize json to pojo object)
Assuming you are using Android-Studio IDE for android development
Step 1 : add this gson dependency on build.gradle file of module scope
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.4'
Step 2: create model for json
{"markers":[{"tag":"1","dep":"2"}]}
Markers.java
public class Markers {
/**
* tag : 1
* dep : 2
*/
private List<MarkersEntity> markers;
public void setMarkers(List<MarkersEntity> markers) {
this.markers = markers;
}
public List<MarkersEntity> getMarkers() {
return markers;
}
public static class MarkersEntity {
private String tag;
private String dep;
public void setTag(String tag) {
this.tag = tag;
}
public void setDep(String dep) {
this.dep = dep;
}
public String getTag() {
return tag;
}
public String getDep() {
return dep;
}
}
}
Step 3: serialise json string to pojo object using gson
Gson gson = new Gson();
Markers markers = gson.fromJson(<jsonstring>.toString(), Markers.class);
Step 4: iterate the markers.getMarkersEntity() to get values of tag & dep
for(MarkersEntity data:markers.getMarkersEntity())
{
String tag = data.getTag();
String dep = data.getDep();
Log.d("JSON to Object", tag +"-"+dep);
}

You can use Ion Library for this and parse it as follows:
Ion.with(MainActivity.this).load("url").asJsonObject().setCallback(new FutureCallback<JsonObject>() {
#Override
public void onCompleted(Exception arg0, JsonObject arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(arg0==null)
{
arg1.get("markers").getAsJsonArray();
JsonObject Jobj=arg1.getAsJsonObject();
String tag=Jobj.get("tag").getAsString();
String dep=Jobj.get("dep").getAsString();
}
}
});

Here, you may find your solution. Try it.
try {
//jsonString : {"markers": [{"tag":"1","dep":"2"}]}
JSONObject mainObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
JSONArray uniArray = mainObject.getJSONArray("markers");
JSONObject subObject = uniArray.getJSONObject(0);
String tag = subObject.getString("tag");
String dep = subObject.getString("dep");
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Faster way to parse a JSON String in android

I'm using this method to parse a JSON string, but it is too slow... is there a better way to do it?
Thanks
synchronized private void parseCategories(String response){
try{
JSONArray categoriesJSONArray = new JSONArray (response);
// looping through All Contacts
for(int i = 0; i < categoriesJSONArray.length(); i++){
JSONObject currentCategory = categoriesJSONArray.getJSONObject(i);
String label="";
String categoryId="";
// Storing each json item in variable
if(currentCategory.has("label"))
label = currentCategory.getString("label");
if(currentCategory.has("id"))
categoryId = currentCategory.getString("id");
if(
label!=null &&
categoryId!=null
)
{
Category toAdd = new Category(categoryId, label);
categories.add(toAdd);
}
}
//Alphabetic order
Collections.sort(
categories,
new Comparator<Feed>() {
public int compare(Feed lhs, Feed rhs) {
return lhs.getTitle().compareTo(rhs.getTitle());
}
}
);
Intent intent = new Intent("CategoriesLoaded");
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(mAppContext).sendBroadcast(intent);
}catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Here's try following code to start with. You would need Gson library for it.
Gson gson=new Gson();
MyBean myBean=gson.fromJson(response);
Note: Here MyBean class contains the fields present in you json string for e.g. id, along with getter and setters. Rest of all is handled by Gson.
Here's a quick demo.
import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName;
public class Box {
#SerializedName("id")
private String categoryId;
// getter and setter
}
Say you JSON looks as following:
{"id":"A12"}
You can parse it as follows:
class Parse{
public void parseJson(String response){
Gson gson=new Gson();
Box box=gson.fromJson(response,Box.class);
System.out.println(box.getCategoryId());
}
}
Output :
A12

Use GSON library. You can convert your object to json string like the following example:
MyClass MyObject;
Gson gson = new Gson();
String strJson = gson.toJson(MyObject);

Jersey - Json to java string

I am new to JSON web service. I want to convert below simple JSON structure to Java String. Though I have referred many sites, still it adds more confusion to me. I am using GSON for parsing but alwasy getting
"java.lang.IllegalStateException: This is not a JSON Array."
Please assist me to resolve the issue.
JSON DATA : {"data1":"100","data2":"hello"}
JAVA CODE :
private void getPostMessage(String msg) {
try {
EmployeeBean emp;
String json;
Client client = Client.create();
WebResource webResource = client.resource("http://localhost:8080/JSON_EMP_Serv/rest/server/post/");
ClientResponse response = webResource.type("application/json").post(ClientResponse.class,msg);
if (response.getStatus() != 201) {
throw new RuntimeException("Failed : HTTP error code : " + response.getStatus());
}
String output = response.getEntity(String.class);
System.out.println("\n============get POST Message Response============");
System.out.println(output);
/******* JSON PARSER **********/
Gson gson = new Gson();
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
JsonArray Jarray = parser.parse(output).getAsJsonArray();
ArrayList<EmployeeBean> lcs = new ArrayList<EmployeeBean>();
for(JsonElement obj : Jarray )
{
emp = gson.fromJson(obj,EmployeeBean.class);
lcs.add(emp);
}
int length=lcs.size();
System.out.println("ARRAY LENGTH"+length);
for(int i=0;i<length;i++)
{
System.out.println(lcs.get(i)+"\n");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
EMPLOYEEBEAN CLASS :
package com.pats.client.bean;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName;
public class EmployeeBean {
private String data1= null;
private String data2 = null;
public EmployeeBean(String data1,String data2)
{
this.data1=data1;
this.data2=data2;
}
public String getData1()
{ return data1; }
public String getData2()
{ return data2; }
public void setData1(String data1)
{
this.data1=data1;
}
public void setData2(String data2)
{
this.data2=data2;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
//return "[data1=" + data1 + ", data2=" + data2 + "]";
return " DATA-1 : " + this.data1 + "DATA-2 : " + this.data2;
}
}

The point is, clearly, that your data is not a JSON array.
{"data1":"100","data2":"hello"}
It is, instead, a JSON object, but you are trying to parse it and get a JsonArray. You could change this and use getAsJsonObject() instead, but from your code I think it's your starting data that is wrong. I guess you should have an array of employees, so the correct data should probably be something like:
[{"data1":"100","data2":"hello"}]
