Get a JSON object from a HTTP response

Question

I want to get a JSON object from a Http get response:

Here is my current code for the Http get:

protected String doInBackground(String... params) {      HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();     HttpGet request = new HttpGet(params[0]);     HttpResponse response;     String result = null;     try {         response = client.execute(request);                  HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();          if (entity != null) {              // A Simple JSON Response Read             InputStream instream = entity.getContent();             result = convertStreamToString(instream);             // now you have the string representation of the HTML request             System.out.println("RESPONSE: " + result);             instream.close();             if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == 200) {                 netState.setLogginDone(true);             }          }         // Headers         org.apache.http.Header[] headers = response.getAllHeaders();         for (int i = 0; i < headers.length; i++) {             System.out.println(headers[i]);         }     } catch (ClientProtocolException e1) {         // TODO Auto-generated catch block         e1.printStackTrace();     } catch (IOException e1) {         // TODO Auto-generated catch block         e1.printStackTrace();     }     return result; } 

Here is the convertSteamToString function:

private static String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {      BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));     StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();      String line = null;     try {         while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {             sb.append(line + "\n");         }     } catch (IOException e) {         e.printStackTrace();     } finally {         try {             is.close();         } catch (IOException e) {             e.printStackTrace();         }     }     return sb.toString(); } 

Right now I am just getting a string object. How can I get a JSON object back.

Answer 1

The string that you get is just the JSON Object.toString(). It means that you get the JSON object, but in a String format.

If you are supposed to get a JSON Object you can just put:

JSONObject myObject = new JSONObject(result);
