Menu
I am trying to fetch data from JSON into ListView but everytime i am getting blank page, neither getting List of Categories nor error.
I am new in Android, and trying to make Multi Level ListView using JSON,
In my case i wanna achieve this using JSON only: Category > Items > Detail
but i am facing problem in very first screen, even not able to fetch Category
JSON :
{
"categoryId": "1",
"categoryTitle": { "SmartPhones": [
{
"itemId": "1",
"itemTitle": "Galaxy Mega 5.8"
},
{
"itemId": "2",
"itemTitle": "Galaxy Mega 6.3"
}
]
},
"categoryId": "2",
"categoryTitle": { "Tablets": [
{
"itemId": "1",
"itemTitle": "Galaxy Note 510"
},
{
"itemId": "2",
"itemTitle": "Galaxy Note 800"
}
]}
}
Thanks @Segi to give me correct JSON format

JSON is valid, but illogical, should be like this
[
{
"categoryId": "1",
"categoryTitle": "SmartPhones", "SmartPhones": [
{
"itemId": "1",
"itemTitle": "Galaxy Mega 5.8"
},
{
"itemId": "2",
"itemTitle": "Galaxy Mega 6.3"
}
]
},
{
"categoryId": "1",
"categoryTitle": "Tablets", "Tablets": [
{
"itemId": "1",
"itemTitle": "Galaxy Mega 5.8"
},
{
"itemId": "2",
"itemTitle": "Galaxy Mega 6.3"
}
]
}
]
Then code will be:
if (categories != null) {
// looping through All albums
for (int i = 0; i < categories.length(); i++) {
JSONObject oneCategory = categories.getJSONObject(i);
String categoryName = oneCategory.getString(TAG_ID);
String catTitle = oneCategory.getString( TAG_TITLE );
JSONArray categoryTitle = oneCategory.getJSONArray(catTitle);
for( int i = 0 ; i < categoryTitle.length() ; i++ )
{
JSONObject item = categoryTitle.getJSONObject(i);
String id = item.getString("itemId");
String name = item.getString("itemTitle");
// creating new HashMap
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
// adding each child node to HashMap key => value
map.put(TAG_ID, id);
map.put(TAG_TITLE, name);
}
// adding HashList to ArrayList
categoriesList.add(map);
}
}else{
Log.d("Categories: ", "null");
}
Yes, from Logcat its clear that there is problem with JSON.
Just try the following JSON.->
[{ "categoryId": "1", { "categoryTitle": "Tablets" , "Tablets" : [ { "itemId": "1", "itemTitle": "Galaxy Mega 5.8" }, { "itemId": "2", "itemTitle": "Galaxy Mega 6.3" } ] }, {"categoryId": "2", "categoryTitle": { "Tablets": [ { "itemId": "1", "itemTitle": "Galaxy Note 510" }, { "itemId": "2", "itemTitle": "Galaxy Note 800" } ]} }]
I did nothing special but added some brackets to make it JSON format. If you are getting this from php, make required changes there to format it.
NB: Here, JSON has a complex structure, so be careful on parsing.
