I have this Json statement :
{name=Adam Schmidt, id=43}
and I want to extract the value of the name, trying this code but it didn't work
// parse json data
try {
JSONObject userObject = new JSONObject(result);
userName = userObject.getString("name");
tvName.setText(userName);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
You statement is not valid json. Here's the sample of valid json.
{\"name\":\"Adam Schmidt\", \"id\":43}
Update: For number value, no quotation mark
Use GSON. Super easy.
Declare a class that represents your JSON structure:
public class Person {
private String name;
private int id;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
}
Then you can do:
String json = "{\"name\":\"Adam Schmidt\", \"id\":43}";
String userName = new Gson().fromJson(json, Person.class).getName();
tvName.setText(userName);
This is much better than haphazardly parsing chunks with various get methods all over your code. Plus you get a nice object to pass around and use in your object oriented code.
