Gson stackoverflow Gson.fromJson

Question

I am executing a Web Service, and this is my response, bu when I try convert this JSONObject(org.json.JSONObject) to specific object using Gson library, my app crashes. So, I don't know why happened this. JSON:

{
"atributos": {
    "id": "1",
    "nombre": "Cliente",
    "descripcion": "Cliente",
    "version": "1"
},
"elementos": "[{
    "id": "1",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "4",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "5",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "6",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "7",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "8",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "9",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "10",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "11",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "12",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "13",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "14",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "15",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "16",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "17",
    "name" : "akira"
},
{
    "id": "18",
    "name" : "akira"
}]"
}

Error:

Answer 1

When i validate ur given json it have some error (The Example Json give is not a valid json).Your json have " in elementos array before opening and close ,maybe that causing a stack overflow error when you try to parse the json using Gson.

"elementos": "[{.....]"

Please verfy you json with some json validator site for Example jsonlint

So first we need to valid json ,i have made ur json vaild by omitting the "

it will be like this

Your Json after the change

{
"atributos": {
    "id": "1",
    "nombre": "Cliente",
    "descripcion": "Cliente",
    "version": "1"
},
"elementos": [
    {
        "id": "1",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "4",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "5",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "6",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "7",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "8",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "9",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "10",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "11",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "12",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "13",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "14",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "15",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "16",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "17",
        "name": "akira"
    },
    {
        "id": "18",
        "name": "akira"
    }
]
}

**Now the Coding Part : ** To parse this jsonresponse using Gson please follow the Steps below

Make a class JsonResponse

public class JsonResponse {

 /*Class handle the Whole json*/

//Variable name should be same as the names given in the json response  

Atributos atributos;// Attributos class handles the data in atributos obj from the json . The variable name of Attributos should be same as the json objects ie atributos

ArrayList<ElementosObj>elementos=null;//elementos is a array which hold some datas  ,so make a class ElementosObj to handle the data in the  elementos array.


}

Class Atributos

public class Atributos {

 /*Class handle the atributos obj from json*/

  //Variable name should be same as the names given in the json response
public String id = null;
public String nombre = null;
public String descripcion = null;
public String version = null;
}

Class ElementosObj

public class ElementosObj {

/*Class handle the elementos array from json*/

//Variable name should be same as the names given in the json response

String id=null;
String name=null;

}

And now in your main class where you Parse The Above json

Main class

String jsonData = "String jsonData Contain your parsed jsondata ";


    Gson mGson = new Gson();
    JsonResponse mObj1 = (JsonResponse) mGson.fromJson(jsonData,
            JsonResponse.class);

    Log.d("Atributos:ID", mObj1.atributos.id);
    Log.d("Atributos:DESCRIBTION", mObj1.atributos.descripcion);
    Log.d("Atributos:NUMBER", mObj1.atributos.nombre);
    Log.d("Atributos:VERSION", mObj1.atributos.version);

    for (int i = 0; i < mObj1.elementos.size(); i++) {
        Log.d("Elementos:ID For Postion " + i, mObj1.elementos.get(i).id);
        Log.d("Elementos:NAME For Postion " + i,
                mObj1.elementos.get(i).name);
    }

The Output will be like this

05-03 01:32:51.548: D/Atributos:DESCRIBTION: Cliente

Hope this will help you Thank you

Answer 2

In case anyone else runs into this, the problem in my case was that I needed to replace:

private final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName());

with

private transient Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName());

Note the keyword "transient". This is further explained at https://stackoverflow.com/a/5889590/2308858 .
