Android- create JSON Array and JSON Object

People also ask

What is JSON array and JSON object in Android?

JSON (Javascript Object Notation) is a programming language . It is minimal, textual, and a subset of JavaScript. It is an alternative to XML. Android provides support to parse the JSON object and array.

What is a JsonArray?

JsonArray represents an immutable JSON array (an ordered sequence of zero or more values). It also provides an unmodifiable list view of the values in the array. A JsonArray object can be created by reading JSON data from an input source or it can be built from scratch using an array builder object.

How pass JSON object from one activity to another in Android?

i. PutExtra("json1", json); StartActivity(i); and the destination activity is savedInstanceState = new Bundle(); savedInstanceState = Intent. Extras; var obj1 = savedInstanceState.

What is are the JSON elements in Android?

Android provides four different classes to manipulate JSON data. These classes are JSONArray,JSONObject,JSONStringer and JSONTokenizer. The first step is to identify the fields in the JSON data in which you are interested in. For example.


Use the following code:

JSONObject student1 = new JSONObject();
try {
    student1.put("id", "3");
    student1.put("name", "NAME OF STUDENT");
    student1.put("year", "3rd");
    student1.put("curriculum", "Arts");
    student1.put("birthday", "5/5/1993");

} catch (JSONException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

JSONObject student2 = new JSONObject();
try {
    student2.put("id", "2");
    student2.put("name", "NAME OF STUDENT2");
    student2.put("year", "4rd");
    student2.put("curriculum", "scicence");
    student2.put("birthday", "5/5/1993");

} catch (JSONException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}


JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();

jsonArray.put(student1);
jsonArray.put(student2);

JSONObject studentsObj = new JSONObject();
    studentsObj.put("Students", jsonArray);



String jsonStr = studentsObj.toString();

    System.out.println("jsonString: "+jsonStr);

public JSONObject makJsonObject(int id[], String name[], String year[],
            String curriculum[], String birthday[], int numberof_students)
            throws JSONException {
        JSONObject obj = null;
        JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
        for (int i = 0; i < numberof_students; i++) {
            obj = new JSONObject();
            try {
                obj.put("id", id[i]);
                obj.put("name", name[i]);
                obj.put("year", year[i]);
                obj.put("curriculum", curriculum[i]);
                obj.put("birthday", birthday[i]);

            } catch (JSONException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            jsonArray.put(obj);
        }

        JSONObject finalobject = new JSONObject();
        finalobject.put("student", jsonArray);
        return finalobject;
    }

 JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
            try {
                obj.put("id", "3");
                obj.put("name", "NAME OF STUDENT");
                obj.put("year", "3rd");
                obj.put("curriculum", "Arts");
                obj.put("birthday", "5/5/1993");

            } catch (JSONException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
             JSONArray js=new JSONArray(obj.toString());
             JSONObject obj2 = new JSONObject();
             obj2.put("student", js.toString());

You can create a a method and pass paramters to it and get the json as a response.

  private JSONObject jsonResult(String Name,int id, String curriculum) throws JSONException {
        JSONObject json = null;
        json = new JSONObject("{\"" + "Name" + "\":" + "\"" + Name+ "\""
            + "," + "\"" + "Id" + "\":" + id + "," + "\"" + "Curriculum"
            + "\":" + "\"" + curriculum+ "\"" + "}");
        return json;
      }

I hope this will help you.


Here's a simpler (but not so short) version which doesn't require try-catch:

Map<String, String> data = new HashMap<>();
data.put("user", "[email protected]");
data.put("pass", "123");

JSONObject jsonData = new JSONObject(data);

If you want to add a jsonObject into a field, you can do this way:

data.put("socialMedia", (new JSONObject()).put("facebookId", "1174989895893400"));
data.put("socialMedia", (new JSONObject()).put("googleId", "106585039098745627377"));

Unfortunately it needs a try-catch because of the put() method.

IF you want to avoid try-catch again (not very recommended, but it's ok if you can guarantee well formated json strings), you might do this way:

data.put("socialMedia", "{ 'facebookId': '1174989895893400' }");

You can do the same about JsonArrays and so on.

Cheers.


Have been struggling with this till I found out the answer:

  1. Use GSON library:

    Gson gson = Gson();
    String str_json = gson.tojson(jsonArray);`
    
  2. Pass the json array. This will be auto stringfied. This option worked perfectly for me.
