        listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
        listView.setOnItemClickListener(this);
        getJSON();
    }


    private void showEmployee(){

            for(int i = 0; i<result.length(); i++){
                JSONObject jo = result.getJSONObject(i);
                String id = jo.getString(Config.TAG_ID);
                String name = jo.getString(Config.TAG_NAME);

    private void getJSON(){

        HashMap<String,String> map =(HashMap)parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
        String empId = map.get(Config.TAG_ID).toString();
        intent.putExtra(Config.EMP_ID,empId);

Answer 1

Currently, your String that receive from server is

Connection sucessful{"result":[{"id":2,"name":A"},{"id","pop"},...]}

and it is not a valid JSON format

So you should edit the server code for return correct JSON format like

{"result":[{"id":2,"name":A"},{"id","pop"},...]}
