I need a simple java example of processing a JSON response via HTTP for Android App?

Question

I am writing a simple Android app and have a database that will send back information into the app. I am new to Android and am looking for a simple example that demonstrates

Answer 1

I once wrote a tutorial for the exact opposite case (to send a JSON request). However from that you will be able to derive for what you need.

Answer 2

Take a look to: JSON Parsing in android or Android as a RESTful Client.

Also read Handling Expensive Operations in the UI Thread to be sure that your application is not "hanging" if content retrieval takes time.

Answer 3

I wrote a small library project (stepsdk) and demo here, on making a GET request and process the json here.

It is as simple as follows:

new APIRequest(new APIManager(this), SERVER_URL+"/method", APIRequest.GET)
  .addParam('param', 'value')
  .start(new JSONRequestHandler(){
      @Override
      public void after() {
        JSONObject json = getResponse();
        // use json
      }
  });

hope it helps.
