I want to send registration form data from android application to remote MySQL database but every time I get same error:
java.lang.String can not be converted to JSONObject.
Here is my code:
JSONParser.java
`public class JSONParser

this is my php file

on server side i get the error
undefined index Firstname,Lastname,username,Email,Password...
and in eclipse logcat i get error
java.lang.string can not be converted to JSONObject
You can't access that data in php through POST because it is being sent on the android application through the HTTP header and not over application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Here's a thread that explains how you can do it:

This is my code, in my log, i'm getting:
E/JSON Parser: Error parsing data org.json.JSONException Value xml of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject
I really need a solution i have been searching for weeks now.
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... para) {
List<NameValuePair> params=new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
JSONObject json=jparser.makeHttpRequest(getDataUrl, "POST", params);
try {
success=json.getInt("success");
if(success==1){
drivers=new ArrayList<Driver>();
JSONArray sounds=json.getJSONArray("location");
for (int i = 0; i < sounds.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jobj=sounds.getJSONObject(i);
Driver d=new Driver();
d.setId(jobj.getString("id"));
d.setName(jobj.getString("name"));
d.setEmail(jobj.getString("email"));
d.setNumber(jobj.getString("number"));
d.setLatitude(jobj.getString("latitude"));
d.setLongitude(jobj.getString("longitude"));
d.setInfo(jobj.getString("info"));

drivers.add(d);
}
}
} catch (JSONException e) {

Based on your error, the return result for makeHttpRequest is an xml object instead of json formated string.
Solved
the error was due to incorrect url, the xampp apache server was returning an object not found page..error 404, which is an xml file. That's why the return result for makeHttpRequest is an xml object instead of json formated string.
I use the following function in java to connect to my php script in a server.
The script queries for an image (BLOB), encodes it (base64) and sends it back in JSON format.
The problem is that I can get some of the encoded data but not all of them. Should I use any headers on my httpRequest? What am I doing wrong?
Here is my java function:
public JSONObject makeHttpRequest(String url, String method,
List<NameValuePair> params) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// request method is POST
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8"), 8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
json = sb.toString();
System.out.println("Print1: "+json);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
return null;
}
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
return null;
}
System.out.println("Print2: "+jObj.toString());
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
Here is my PHP code showing the JSON structure:
$response = array(
"success" => 0,
"message" => "",
"data" => "");
$stmt->bindColumn(1, $binary, PDO::PARAM_LOB);
$stmt->bindColumn(2, $professorName);
$stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOUND);
$pic = base64_encode($binary);
$data = array(
"photo" => $pic,
"professorName" => $professorName
);
$response["success"] = 1;
$response["message"] = "We have results!";
$response["data"] = $data;
echo json_encode($response);
After testing I realized that if I use a small image (tested size < 1Kb) everything works as it should.
If I try to obtain a larger image (here 5 Kb) the data I obtain is cut in the middle.
The json structure doesn't arrive complete.
Here is an example of a successful transfer:
Print1: {"success":1,"message":"We have results!","data":
{"photo":"iVBORw0KGgoAAAANS~~~~more data~~~~N6GGYzAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC","professorName":"cluvas"}}
Print2: {"data":{"kathigitisName":"cluvas","photo":"iVBORw0K~~~~more data~~~~AElFTkSuQmCC"},
"message":"We have results!","success":1}
Here an example of an unsucessful one
Print1: {"success":1,"message":"We have results!","data":
{"photo":"\/9j\/4AAQS~~~~more data~~~~6KKogkH\/ //unexpected end of data
Print2: {"data":{"professorName":"cluvas",
"photo":"\/9j\/4AAQS~~~~more data~~~~K+U\/Ce //unexpected end of data

This is class from which i am Post Phone Number to web service and getting response .
when i Post Number of Phone which has 15 to 20 contact i am getting response . but when i post number which has 150 contact i am not getting response one at a time i have to relaunch app two time then i am getting response . i dont know where i am doing mistake . even i am unable to read phone large file in chunks with fixed size buffer.
Just to solve all your potential bugs in one single shot: is there anything preventing you from using Retrofit and GSON or Jackson?
Each time I see such JSON/InputStream/URLConnection/... questions, I keep wondering why people keep on spending time to reinvent basic stuff instead of actually writing apps.
public class HttpPosrHitter {
public static String getJSONfromURL(String url, String member_id,
String phonenumber) {
InputStream is = null;
String result = "";
JSONObject jArray = null;
try {
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
List<NameValuePair> pairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("memberid", member_id));
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("numbers", phonenumber));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(pairs));
// http post
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
result = EntityUtils.toString(entity); //changes Made
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection " + e.toString());
}
try {
jArray = new JSONObject(result);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());

return result;

I am currently learning to develop android application. I need to parse variables from my android application to the servlet. I use HttpResponse to parse the variables. But i do not know how to accept parameters in servlet.
This is my code in android application.
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://<ip_address>:8080/GetPhoneNumber/GetPhoneNumberServletServlet");
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("phoneNum", "12345678"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} // End of onClick method
May I know what to do at the doPost/doGet in servlet?
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("Hello Android !!!!");
}
/**
* #see HttpServlet#doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
*/
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
In your doPost use request.getParameter("phoneNum").
I think the following code could help you.
public class CustomHttpClient
{
public static final int HTTP_TIMEOUT = 30 * 1000;
private static HttpClient mHttpClient;
private static HttpClient getHttpClient()
{
if (mHttpClient == null)
{
mHttpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
final HttpParams params = mHttpClient.getParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
ConnManagerParams.setTimeout(params, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
}
return mHttpClient;
}
public static String executeHttpPost(String url,ArrayList<NameValuePair> postParameters) throws Exception
{
BufferedReader in = null;
try
{
HttpClient client = getHttpClient();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost(url);
UrlEncodedFormEntity formEntity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(postParameters);
request.setEntity(formEntity);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("");
String line = "";
String NL = System.getProperty("line.separator");
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + NL);
}
in.close();
String result = sb.toString();
return result;
}
finally
{
if (in != null)
{
try
{
in.close();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result "+e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
public static String executeHttpGet(String url) throws Exception
{
BufferedReader in = null;
try
{
HttpClient client = getHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet();
request.setURI(new URI(url));
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("");
String line = "";
String NL = System.getProperty("line.separator");
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + NL);
}
in.close();
String result = sb.toString();
return result;
}
finally
{
if (in != null)
{
try
{
in.close();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result "+e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
}
Addons:-
Use the JSON Parser class below:-
public class JSONParser {
static InputStream is = null;
static JSONObject jObj = null;
static String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONParser() {
}
// function get json from url
// by making HTTP POST or GET mehtod
public JSONObject makeHttpRequest(String url, String method,
List<NameValuePair> params) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// check for request method
if(method == "POST"){
// request method is POST
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}else if(method == "GET"){
// request method is GET
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
String paramString = URLEncodedUtils.format(params, "utf-8");
url += "?" + paramString;
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
json = sb.toString();
Log.d("json data",json.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
}
Now if you want to send anything on the server, say you need to save the username and password on the server using the JSON Parser and PHP use the below code in any thread or in the doInBackground method of Async task.
ArrayList<NameValuePair> Insert = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
Insert.add(new BasicNameValuePair("User_Name","<Sting denoting username>"));
Insert.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Password","<Sting denoting Password>));
try
{
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://server path/yourphpfile.php");
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(Insert));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
is = entity.getContent();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection"+e.toString());
}
Now if you need these values back using the get method in JSON Parser, user the following code again in the Thread or doInBackground method of Async task.
public class CountDownTask extends AsyncTask<Void,Void , Void>
{
protected void onPreExecute()
{
count = 0;
S_Store_Id = null; S_Store_Name = null;S_Store_Address = null; S_Store_Phone= null;
Offers = null; Descriptions = null;
}
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params)
{
ArrayList<NameValuePair> postParameters = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("User_Name",StringUserName));
String response = null;
try
{
response = CustomHttpClient.executeHttpPost("http://yourserverpath/yourphpfilefor retrivingdata.php",postParameters);
String result = response.toString();
try
{
JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(result);
JSONObject json_data = jArray.getJSONObject(0);
StringUserName = json_data.getString("User_Name");
StringPassword = json_data.getString("Password");
json_data = jArray.getJSONObject(1);
}
catch(JSONException e)
{
Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data "+e.toString());
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Log.e("log_tag","Error in http connection!!" + e.toString());
}
return null;
}
Now you can write the logic for inserting and retriving data from the server in your corresponding PHP files and use them for using data from the server. This method works equivalent to HTTP Get and Post methods of HTTP Request and Response.
Hope it can help you.. Thanks...
I have an application that post data to a php file in an online server. When the post is done i get a garbage of html code. In it says I have a php error and that is Invalid argument supplied for each() on line 33. However this problem does not occur if I run it in localhost. I don't understand why this problem is occuring. So someone please help me to solve it.
The following is my jsonparser Class
public class JSONParser {
static InputStream is = null;
static JSONObject jObj = null;
static String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONParser() {
}
public JSONObject getandpostJSONFromUrl(String url, String method,JSONArray name) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// defaultHttpClient
if (method == "POST") {
HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
//params.setParameter("data", auth);
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(params);
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
List<NameValuePair> postParams = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
postParams.add(new BasicNameValuePair("json", name.toString()));
for (NameValuePair nvp : postParams) {
String name2 = nvp.getName();
String value = nvp.getValue();
Log.d("NameValue pair content", ""+name2+""+value);
}
UrlEncodedFormEntity entity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(postParams,HTTP.UTF_8);
httpPost.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpPost);
String responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
Log.d("",responseBody);
}
if (method == "GET") {
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (method == "POST") {
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(is));
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer error", "Buffer error" + e);
}
} else if (method == "GET") {
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
json = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
}
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
}
The following is the php file on the server
<?php

}
//var_dump(json_decode ($_POST['json'])));
if($_POST['json']){
$parsed = json_decode($_POST['json'],TRUE);
$i=0;
foreach ($parsed as $obj) {
$ProductName = $obj['Name'];
$ProductQuantity= $obj['Quantity'];
$sql="Update productlist Set Quantity='$ProductQuantity' where Name='$ProductName';";
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $link );
if(! $retval )
{
die('Could not get data: ' . mysql_error());
}
$i++;
echo $ProductName." ".$ProductQuantity;
}
}else{
echo "empty";
}
?>
there's a missing options on your HttpPost request set the entity metadata and the resulting entity as string.
In your java code you can do this:
Map<String, String> postData = new HashMap<String, String>();
postData.put("KEY", "yourvalue");
JSONObject holder = new JSONObject(postData);
StringEntity jsonStringEntity = new StringEntity(holder.toString());
httpost.setEntity(jsonStringEntity);
httpost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
httpost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
in that way your PHP code could actually parse your post data since json_decode() expecting json as parameter.
