        list.setVerticalFadingEdgeEnabled(false);

           list.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

           LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE );





       fixturesView = LayoutInflater.from(getBaseContext()).inflate(R.layout.fixturescell,
                 null);


       //Log.v("MyFix", "fixturesArray = " + fixturesArray);
       if(fixturesArray.length() < 1){

             TextView emptytext = (TextView) fixturesView.findViewById(R.id.TextView02);
             emptytext.setText("No Upcoming Fixtures Available");

       }else{
        try{   




            for(int t = 0; t < fixturesArray.length(); t++){
               JSONObject matchDateDict = fixturesArray.getJSONObject(t);
                matchDate = matchDateDict.getString("matchdate");

               if(matchDatesHeadersArray.length() != 0){
                   int lm = t - 1;
                   JSONObject lastDateDict = fixturesArray.getJSONObject(lm);
                   String lastMatchDate = lastDateDict.getString("matchdate");

                   if(matchDate.equals(lastMatchDate)){
                   } else {
                       matchDatesHeadersArray.put(matchDate);
                   }
               } else {
                   matchDatesHeadersArray.put(matchDate);     
               }               
            }

            JSONObject tempDict = null;

            for(int f = 0; f < fixturesArray.length(); f++){
                String matchDateHeaderString = matchDatesHeadersArray.getString(f);
                tempDict = fixturesArray.getJSONObject(f);
                String currentMatchDate = tempDict.getString("matchdate");
                Log.v("myFix", "matchDateHeaderString = " + matchDateHeaderString + "currentMatchDate = " + currentMatchDate);



*if(fixturesDict.length() == 0){*


                    tempArray = null;
                } else {
                    tempArray = fixturesDict.getJSONArray(currentMatchDate);
                }

                if(!currentMatchDate.equals(matchDateHeaderString)){
                    // ADD TEXT INTO ARRAY FOR HEADER TITLES
                }

                newTempArray.put(tempDict);
                fixturesDict.put(matchDateHeaderString, newTempArray);

as logcat says you are getting NPE in onPostExecute(MIFixtures.java:390) post your code — MAC

heyy luke... why are you repeating the same question ? is this a duplicate of this post stackoverflow.com/questions/11449803/… ? — sunil

it's not a repeat question its the same subject but a different question. plus my code is different from the last question — Luke Batley

I doubt you are using fixturesDict in if condition in that loop instead you need to use tempDict object. — MKJParekh

Your fixturesArray haven't been created when you call (fixturesArray.length() < 1)

I suggest to check that variable fixturesArray and make sure it has been initialized when u call

Hello Refer below code

JSON String

{
"result": "success",
"countryCodeList":
[
  {"countryCode":"00","countryName":"World Wide"},
  {"countryCode":"kr","countryName":"Korea"}
] 
}

Here below I am fetching country details

JSONObject json = new JSONObject(jsonstring);
JSONArray nameArray = json.names();
JSONArray valArray = json.toJSONArray(nameArray);

JSONArray valArray1 = valArray.getJSONArray(1);

valArray1.toString().replace("[", "");
valArray1.toString().replace("]", "");

int len = valArray1.length();

for (int i = 0; i < valArray1.length(); i++) {

 Country country = new Country();
 JSONObject arr = valArray1.getJSONObject(i);
 country.setCountryCode(arr.getString("countryCode"));                        
 country.setCountryName(arr.getString("countryName"));
 arrCountries.add(country);
}
