JSON exception: org.json.JSONException: Unterminated array

Question

I'm working on an android app - which requests some data from server and the server returns data in JSON format. Everything works fine, except an API. After debugging, I've found this Exception:

org.json.JSONException: Unterminated array at character 152 of

{
    "total": "2",
    "result": [

            "vname": "Bộ tiểu thuyết Millenium của nhà văn Stieg Larsson",

            "movies": "3"
        }
    ]
}

I've searched in internet, but no luck. And I also count to character 152th, but nothing wrong ! Please help me !

caution. for him the two character points means value of the JSON key. you have to find the way to incorporate everything into a string — Thorny84

I see something wrong:

The elements in the array should be separated with commas:

{
    "total":"2",
    "result":  [
        {
            "id":"15",
            "ename":"Horror movies based on true stories",
            "vname":"Nh?ng phim kinh d? du?a tren chuye?n co? tha?t",
            "movies":"16"
        }**,COMMA**
        {
            "id":"14",
            "ename":"IMDB Top 250","vname":"250 b? phim hay nh?t m?i th?i d?i",
            "movies":"127"
        }
    ]
}

Note that I placed the string COMMA just to underline the place. You need to add only , without COMMA.

When you want to use quotes in your json you must must use escaped quotes. Like this:

[{"vname": "Tuyển tập \"Trởlạitươnglai\""}]

            "movies": "3"
        }
    ]
}

and moreover your one value contains " extra Trở lại tương lai so just remove that.

and moreover your on value contains " extra Trở lại tương lai so just remove that. you can escape the " like\"and the above is correct that you are missing commas between {}

Does this help? Android: Json string with spaces gives "Unterminated object at" exception

Seems like you need to look up some examples of how JSON arrays are formed.

I just solved the same problem. The code is creating a simple json file an then reads the same json file. Read was throwing the same Exception. In bytes conversion to string I added encoding and it solved the issue.

private void PlayWithJson() {
    File dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/folder");
    if (!dir.exists()) {
        dir.mkdirs();
    }
    if (dir.exists()) {
    {
        File textfile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/folder/file.json");
        try {
            JSONObject jsonRoot = new JSONObject();
            jsonRoot.put("MagicNumber","8461684368431684684186464");
            jsonRoot.put("Note","develop android is lame");
            FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(textfile);
            byte[] jsonBytes = jsonRoot.toString().getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF8"));
            stream.write(jsonBytes);
            stream.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d("Write Throw Up",e.getMessage());
        }
    }
    {
        File textfile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/folder/file.json");
        try {
            int length = (int) textfile.length();
            byte[] bytes = new byte[length];
            FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(textfile);
            in.read(bytes);
            in.close();
            String jsonStr = new String(bytes, Charset.forName("UTF8"));
            JSONObject readJson = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
            String MagicNumber = "";
            String Note = "";
            if (!readJson.optString("MagicNumber").isEmpty()) {
                MagicNumber = readJson.optString("MagicNumber");
            }
            if (!readJson.optString("Note").isEmpty()) {
                Note = readJson.optString("Note");
            }
            String contents = new String(MagicNumber+"\n"+Note);
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), contents, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d("Read Throw Up",e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

I hope it's useful.
