org.json.JSONObject cannot be converted to JSONArray

Question

I am unable to display the values which are coming in the form of json response

And I am failed to convert these values and display it the textView..

My json reponse is :

{"calculate":{"persons":"148429","cost":25232.93}}

And My main Activity java file is :

import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;

import android.widget.TextView;

import org.json.JSONArray;

            JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();
            // Getting JSON from URL
            JSONObject json = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(url);
            return json;
        }
        @Override

            pDialog.dismiss();

            for (int i = 0; i < json.length(); i++) {
                try {
                    //JSONObject c = json.getJSONObject(i);
                    // Getting JSON Array

                   JSONObject c = user.getJSONObject(i);
                    // Storing  JSON item in a Variable
                    // String id = c.getString(TAG_ID);
                    //System.out.println();
                    String name = c.getString(TAG_NAME);
                    // System.out.println(name);
                    String email = c.getString(TAG_EMAIL);
                    //System.out.println(email);
                    //Set JSON Data in TextView
                    //uid.setText(id);
                    name1.setText(name);

Answer 1

Your json is a JSONObject not a JSONArray.

{ represents JSONObject node

[ represents JSONArray node

So having this for (int i = 0; i < json.length(); i++) { is wrong

In onPostExecute

JSONObject calculate = json.optJSONObject("calculate");
String person = calculate.optString("persons");
String cost = calculate.optString("cost");

Answer 2

try this

public JSONObject getJSONFromUrl(String url) {

    String response="";
        // Making HTTP request
    try {
        // defaultHttpClient
        DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
        HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
        try {

            ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
            response = httpclient.execute(httppost,
                           responseHandler);

        }
        catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    catch (SocketTimeoutException e) {

        //"Sorry, network error", "");
    }
    catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(e);
    }
    try {

        json = new JSONObject(response.toString());

        JSONObject subobject = new JSONObject(
                                json.getString("calculate"));

        String persons= (subobject.getString("persons"));
        String cost= (subobject.getString("cost"));

    }
    catch (JSONException e) {

        System.out.println("exception");
        exceptionflag = 0;

    }
}

Answer 3

-TOtaly agree with above answer Person is fetching Jsonobject using Jsonarray Which is totaly wrong. -Here you are only having a single JsonObject Named calculate

-Which is fetched by using :-

JSONObject jsobobj = json.optJSONObject("calculate");

-And other strings are values of above object so can be fetched by using.

String Firststring = calculate.optString("persons");
String Seconstring = calculate.optString("cost");

-THanks!

Answer 4

 JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject("your json String will be here");
 JSONObject jsonObject = jsonObject.getJSONObject("calculate");
String persons = jsonObject.getString("persons");
String cost = jsonObject.getString("cost");

Answer 5

In your postExecute method
Replace JSONObject c = user.getJSONObject(i);
With JSONObject c = json.getJSONObject(i);

Because user is a jsonArray which is never initialized,
and you are getting your json in json variable here in
doInBackground method JSONObject json = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(url);
