How to get data with this Json

Question

I want to show data of below JSON:

{"success":true,"message":"","result":{"Bid":3924.01000000,"Ask":3925.00000000,"Last":3924.00000000}}

I am new in android and from all tutorials, I somehow access this data but I want to show only "Last" data figure but my code shows whole "result" string.

String firstname;

TextView tv;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.name);

    new AsyncTaskParseJson().execute();

}


// you can make this class as another java file so it will be separated from your main activity.
public class AsyncTaskParseJson extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {

    final String TAG = "AsyncTaskParseJson.java";

    // set your json string url here
    String yourJsonStringUrl = "https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getticker?market=usdt-btc";

    // contacts JSONArray
    JSONArray dataJsonArr = null;

    protected void onPreExecute() {}

    protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {

        try {

            // instantiate our json parser
            JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();

            // get json string from url
            JSONObject json = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(yourJsonStringUrl);


            firstname = json.getString("result");

            Log.e(TAG, "Last: " + firstname);


        }
        catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

        }

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String strFromDoInBg) {

        tv.setText(""+firstname);

    }
}

You are not making a network call. You are just parsing your Url. You need to make network call. You can use volley for this. In your onCreate method

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.name);
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String url ="https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getticker?market=usdt-btc";

 // Request a string response from the provided URL.
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, url,
    new Response.Listener<String>() {
  @Override
  public void onResponse(String response) {

      JSONObject json = new JSONObject(response);
    try {
        JSONObject result = json.getJSONObject("result");
        Double last = result.getDouble("Last");
        tv.setText(String.valueOf(last));
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
  }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
 @Override
   public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {

  }
});
// Add the request to the RequestQueue.
 queue.add(stringRequest);


}

you need to define internet permission in Manifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

You need to include volley library for this http request. Include this in build.gradle of your app

dependencies {
 .
 .
 compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.0.0'
 .
 .
}

I think you should be able to do this

JSONObject json = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(yourJsonStringUrl);
return "" + json.get("result").getDouble("Last");

The string is returned from doInBackground to onPostExecute in the strFromDoInBg variable, but if you prefer:

firstname = "" + json.get("result").getDouble("Last");

would also work
