Question

List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
                    params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("phone", mPhoneNumber));
                    params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("prod_title", nama));
                    params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("prod_desc", des));

                    JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(Constants.url_create_product, "POST", params);


                    // check log cat from response
                    Log.d("Create Response", json.toString());
                    try {
                       int success = json.getInt(Constants.TAG_SUCCESS);

                        if (success == 1) {
                            // successfully created user

                            Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), shoop3Activity.class);
                            i.putExtra("phone", mPhoneNumber);                      
                            startActivity(i);
                                // closing this screen
                            finish();
                        } else {
                            // failed to create user
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Gagal bikin user", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        }

The server is responding with HTML data and you are trying to parse it as JSON data. This won't work. You should check what exactly are the parameters you're passing to the server and test this in a browser. Perhaps you need to be logged in/authenticated but you aren't passing the cookies up or something?

yes, it happened to me, I was passing wrong value to one of my parameters. I hardly figured out this.

This happens because you might have missed any JSon tags or mentioned JSonArray as JSonObject or vice versa. Double check that again and let know if the problem still exists

In my app I am getting this error because of the server response. It was returning success but with added unnecessary information:

<div style="border:1px solid #990000;padding-left:20px;margin:0 0 10px 0;">

</div>{"isSuccess":true,"message":"Inserted successfully.","data":[]}

I managed to get server response as String and then I was parsing it to JSONObject.

I contacted the webservice team and they fixed it.

Sometimes it's the other person's fault.
