How to use user input to open api JSON [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What arguments are passed into AsyncTask<arg1, arg2, arg3>?
(5 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I am working on an Android app in which I am making a weather app. The application opens api data from a JSON and displays this information. More specifically it takes the user input of a city or zip code and adds this info to the URL for the API and then executes the URL.
MainActivity.java
package com.shanehampcsci3660.weather;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.Editable;
import android.text.TextWatcher;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
//import static com.shanehampcsci3660.weather.GetJsonData.*;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
public static TextView tempTV, jsonTV;
public EditText cityORZipET;
private Button getWeather;
public String zip, cityOrZip;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
tempTV = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tempTV);
jsonTV = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.jsonFeedTV);
cityORZipET = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.cityORZipET);
getWeather = (Button) findViewById(R.id.getWeatherButton);
//cityOrZip = cityORZipET.getText().toString();
getWeather.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View view)
{
GetJsonData getJsonData = new GetJsonData();
//getJsonData.execute();
cityOrZip = cityORZipET.getText().toString();
getJsonData.execute("https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=" + cityOrZip +"&appid=x");
jsonTV.setText(cityOrZip);
/*if(cityOrZip.equals(""))
{
getJsonData.execute("https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=" + cityOrZip +"&appid=x");
}
else
{
zip = "30528";
getJsonData.execute("https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=" + zip + "&appid=x");
}*/
}
});
}
}

public static void execute(String s) {

}
My issue is that no matter where I put...
if(cityOrZip.equals(""))
{
getJsonData.execute("https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=" + cityOrZip +"&appid=id");
}
else
{
zip = "30528";
getJsonData.execute("https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=" + zip + "&appid=id");
}
...It will only show the data of the default Url opened in GetJsonData.java. My question is what am I doing wrong and what should I correct in order to make my app work with the user input like it should.

you are calling an GetJsonData.execute with the url that contains the client data, but it has no code in it. Looking at your current code the zip that the client inputs does not get stored into the worker class.

This is because you always use the same URL in GetJsonData class. According to question What arguments are passed into AsyncTask? your class declaration should look like:
public class GetJsonData extends AsyncTask<String, Void, YourPojo> {
#Override
protected YourPojo doInBackground(String... urls)
{
try
{
URL url = new URL(urls[0]);
...
} catch (Exception e) {
handle(e);
}
}
}
where YourPojo is a class you need to create to store all properties you need to read from JSON payload:
class YourPojo {
private String data;
private String line;
private String name;
private double temp;
private double minTemp
private double maxTemp;
// getters, setters
}

reading JSON data from php file in android application

i am just a beginner in developing android applications, i wanted to connect my application to a server so i could get data from MySQL. so i tried to make login part first but i have some problems. my code doesn't work for reading JSON.
my codes are as below:

and also my login.php script:

$username = $_GET["username"];
$password = $_GET["password"];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM userinfo WHERE username ='$username' AND password='$password'";
$check = mysqli_fetch_array(mysqli_query($con,$sql));
if(isset($check)){
echo '{"result":[{"response":"true"}]}';
}else{
echo '{"result":[{"response":"false"}]}';
}
mysqli_close($con);
?>
i would be so happy if i find out the problem. thank you.

see this tutorial :
its a full tutorial about login process using google volley

First : On device side, Use volley, its simple and easy to use
Second : On server, what is {"result":[{"response":"true"}]}
any problem with {"result":true} ??
Last but not the least : Did you use JSON before or this code is trial and error copy paste from some tutorials?

Sending Parameters to .net Restful WebService from Android

Below is my method that is supposed to recieve the parameter:
I put a break point in the code below and check it. The parameter is always null.
public string Login(string[][] value)
{
string[] tester = null;
string testerExample="";
foreach (string[] st in value)
{
tester = st;
}
foreach (string dt in tester)
{
testerExample = dt;
}
return testerExample;
}
Here is the method declaration in IStudentService:
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(
Method="POST", UriTemplate="Login", BodyStyle= WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
string Login(string[][] value);
I tried to as you suggested, and it did not work. It return "Request Error"
Here is the sample code that I paste.
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://10.0.2.2:65031/SampleService.svc/login");
List<NameValuePair> pairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("tester","abcd"));
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("sampletest","1234"));
UrlEncodedFormEntity entity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(pairs,HTTP.UTF_8);
post.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
HttpEntity responseEntity = response.getEntity();
char[] buffer = new char[(int)responseEntity.getContentLength()];
InputStream stream = responseEntity.getContent();
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(stream);
reader.read(buffer); stream.close();
String value = new String(buffer);

I finally got it to work they way that I want it to. The issue was that I was building the Array this way (see below section 1) and pass it to the JSONObject or JSONArray. I switched and build the Array using JSONArray and pass it to the JSONObject (see section 2). It works like a charm.
Section1:
Wrong way to do it - (It may work this way if you were to look through the array and put them in a JSONArray. It's will be too much work when it can be done directly.)
String[][] Array = {
new String[]{"Example", "Test"},
new String[]{"Example", "Test"},
};
JSONArray jar1 = new JSONArray();
jar1.put(0, Array); **// Did not work**
Section 2:
The way I did it after long hours of trying and some very helpful tips and hints from #vorrtex.
JSONArray jar1 = new JSONArray();
jar1.put(0, "ABC");
jar1.put(1, "Son");
jar1.put(2, "Niece");
JSONArray jarr = new JSONArray();
jarr.put(0, jar1);
JSONArray j = new JSONArray();
j.put(0,"session");
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
obj.put("value", jarr);
obj.put("test", j);
obj.put("name","myName");
Log.d("Obj.ToString message: ",obj.toString());
StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(obj.toString());
Looking at the web service, and it has exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for you help!!!!

error is : at notes of type org.json.JSONObject cannot be converted to JSONArray

} else {
$response["error"] = "1";
$response["error_message"] = "no row";
echo json_encode($response, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT);
}
}
how can i fix this? thanks.

use
JSONObject notes = jSon.getJSONObject("notes");
instead of
JSONArray notes = jSon.getJSONArray("notes");`
Because your json String is collection of JsonOject's it's not contains any JsonArray.
you can use following json checker site before parsing it to known the structure of Json String
