Converting ArrayList to JSONArray

Question

I am using ArrayList> to store my cart items. But I need to convert it to JSONArray to send it to the database. But

Answer 1

I found this to be helpful in my project:

Object in my ArrayList<>

public class ListItem {
    private long _masterId;
    private String _name;
    private long _category;

    public ListItem(long masterId, String name, long category) {
        _masterId = masterId;
        _name = name;
        _category = category;
    }

    public JSONObject getJSONObject() {
        JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
        try {
            obj.put("Id", _masterId);
            obj.put("Name", _name);
            obj.put("Category", _category);
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            trace("DefaultListItem.toString JSONException: "+e.getMessage());
        }
        return obj;
    }
}

The actual conversion:

ArrayList<ListItem> myCustomList = ArrayList<ListItem>();
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
for (int i=0; i < myCustomList.size(); i++) {
        jsonArray.put(myCustomList.get(i).getJSONObject());
}
