I have this JSON string in file. I'm using function to connect to json file, this is my parsing where i'm getting latitude and logitude. What should i do next?

JSONObject data = new JSONObject(convertStreamToString(jsonString)).getJSONObject("data");
                // Get the query value'

                JSONArray Acolumns = data.getJSONArray("columns");
                JSONArray Arows = data.getJSONArray("rows");



                for (int i = 0; i < Arows.length(); i++) {
                    JSONArray rec = Arows.getJSONArray(i);
                    //stringJsonResult += "\n rows:" + rec;
                    int latitude = rec.getInt(3);
                    int longitude = rec.getInt(4);

                    //stringJsonResult += "\n  latitude + longitude;
                }

                jsonString.close();
                //JsonResult.setText("\n" + stringJsonResult);

Thanks for help, Michal.

EDIT:: Ok thank you ryanm for help, your app works ;) Is it possible to make JSON array with latitude and longitude for example: {points: {[lat1, long1],[lat2,long2]} and add it to google map? Have somebody diffrent idea to solve my problem?

Answer 1

Check out this app for pointers. It downloads a json string, parses it, and displays lat/lon points on a map view.
