Answer 1

Remove any of the <br> statements or echo statements from your php file except the one that you are using to pass json..

Check the output of your file in browser, remove all the unwanted things other than json..

Answer 2

Please print and check if your string json is in right format as expected by the JSONObject constructor. Per documentation, valid json string to construct JSONObject should be -- A string beginning with { (left brace) and ending with } (right brace).

Please refer this .

Answer 3

Go inside JSONParser and do this so u see in logcat whats comming from php. Probably its a php error.

try {
        jObj = new JSONObject(json);
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        //This line is what u need to add
        Log.d("Whats wrong?", json.toString());
        Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
    }
