I wanted to learn about Android in connection with php and I found a code in this web: demo web So, the code works perfectly fine, but when I want to do the select it says that there is an error when parsing the JSON Object into String. I will give you the 3 parts of the code. You can see all the code in the website from abobe.
Here you have the two codes:
public class JSONParser {
static InputStream is = null;
static JSONObject jObj = null;
static String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONParser() {
}
public JSONObject getJSONFromUrl(final String url) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// Construct the client and the HTTP request.
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
// Execute the POST request and store the response locally.
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
// Extract data from the response.
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
// Open an inputStream with the data content.
is = httpEntity.getContent();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
// Create a BufferedReader to parse through the inputStream.
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
// Declare a string builder to help with the parsing.
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
// Declare a string to store the JSON object data in string form.
String line = null;
// Build the string until null.
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
// Close the input stream.
is.close();
// Convert the string builder data to an actual string.
json = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// Try to parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// Return the JSON Object.
return jObj;
}
// function get json from url
// by making HTTP POST or GET mehtod
public JSONObject makeHttpRequest(String url, String method,
List params) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// check for request method
if(method == "POST"){
// request method is POST
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}else if(method == "GET"){
// request method is GET
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
String paramString = URLEncodedUtils.format(params, "utf-8");
url += "?" + paramString;
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
json = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
}

Here you have the php code:
*/
require("config.inc.php");
$query = "Select post_id,username,title,message FROM comments";
try {
$stmt = $db->prepare($query);
$result = $stmt->execute($query_params);
}
catch (PDOException $ex) {
$response["success"] = 0;
$response["message"] = "Database Error!";
die(json_encode($response));
}
$rows = $stmt->fetchAll();
if ($rows) {
$response["success"] = 1;
$response["message"] = "Post Available!";
json_encode($response)
$response["posts"] = array();
foreach ($rows as $row) {
$post = array();
$post["post_id"] = $row["post_id"];
$post["username"] = $row["username"];
$post["title"] = $row["title"];
$post["message"] = $row["message"];
//update our repsonse JSON data
array_push($response["posts"], $post);
}
// echoing JSON response
echo json_encode($response);
} else {
$response["success"] = 0;
$response["message"] = "No Post Available!";
die(json_encode($response));
}
I hope you can help me, because I am loving Android, but this code is for an advance person I think. I am still learning all about JSON. Thank you a lot.
. thanks
When we release new version of this application, whether it is easily upgraded, like any other applications?
