Question

I was a novice at the json parsing from url. yesterday I've tried parsing json simple data. Now I am confused to form a json parsing the data as below. I still can not how to parse arrays and objects in json. Please help me guys ..

here my MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

I still confuse how to parse array and object json. can you tell me how the right source code to parse? — user3197499

No, giving you source code will not give you anything. Learn what the JSON data types are. Find a json parsing library and learn how to use it to map appropriate types. — Sotirios Delimanolis

JSONObject jObject_Main= new JSONObject(jsonstring);

//get json simple string
String id = jObject_Main.getString("id");
String page = jObject_Main.getString("page");

//get json Array and parse it.
JSONArray jsonArray = jObject_Main
                    .getJSONArray("results");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
                JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
String backdrop_path=jsonObject.getString("backdrop_path");

}

i hope its useful to you.

please change this in your code:

 JSONObject json = parser.getJSONFromUrl(URL);
    try {
        id = json.getString("id");
        page = json.getString("page");
      tot_result = json.getJSONArray(results);

i hope you understand it.

Try this..

In your Global:

JSONArray results = null;
String id = null;
String page = null;
String pages = null;
String tot_result = null;

Inside Try Catch:

JSONObject json = parser.getJSONFromUrl(URL);
try {
    id = json.getString(TAG_ID);             // Changes here
    page = json.getString(TAG_page);         // Changes here

    pages = json.getString(TAG_total_pages);  // Changes here

    tot_result = json.getString(TAG_total_results);  // Changes here

    results = json.getJSONArray(TAG_results);       // Add this line

    for (int i = 0; i < results.length(); i++) {
          // Remaining all correct
    }

EDIT:

new DownloadImageTask()
            .execute("your image url");
}

and DownloadImageTask.class

private class DownloadImageTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {

    protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... urls) {
        String urldisplay = urls[0];
        Bitmap mIcon11 = null;
        try {
            InputStream in = new java.net.URL(urldisplay).openStream();
            mIcon11 = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return mIcon11;
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
        imageview.setImageBitmap(result);
    }
}

Your JSON is JSONObject and it contains JSONArray

Parse Object
Parse Array

Example:

JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(your_json_string);

String id = jsonObj.getString("id");
String page = jsonObj.getString("page"); // or getInt("page");

JSONArray results = jsonObj.getJSONArray("results");

int len = results.length(); // length or size, I don't remember, you can check it

for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    JSONObject obj = results.getJSONObject(i);
    String backdropPath = obj.getString("backdrop_path");
    // ...
}

you need add " results= json.getJSONArray(TAG_results);" below "tot_result = json.getJSONArray(TAG_total_results);"
