I am using JSONLib 2.4 for the JSONSerializer() method. Every time I start the activity it force closes. I tried throwing a JSONException, but it gave me an error. What's wrong? This is the call:

JSONObject json = (JSONObject) JSONSerializer.toJSON(jsonTxt);

Here's my LogCat output:

The answer is in the first line of the logcat.

Unable to resolve superclass of Lnet/sf/json/JSONException

If you look at the javadoc for JSONException it shows the class hierarchy. You can see just above JSONException it says org.apache.commons.lang.exception.NestableRuntimeException which means that NestableRuntimeException is the superclass of JSONException, and therefore you need to have NestableRuntimeException in your project in order for JSONException to work.

In the same way that you added JsonLib to your project, you should also add the dependencies of JsonLib. According to mvnrepository, json-lib 2.4 depends on quite a view libraries, with commons-lang 2.5 being one of them. You can see them as reported by mvnrepository here. You can also see them listed on the json-lib project page here.

For a mobile application that seems like a large number of dependencies and will make your apk bigger. I've not used json-lib, but I might suggest using something more self-contained like gson (download).

  • Please don't think me to be an idiot, but can you give me an example of what you mean? I'm still a beginner with Java. – Zac Canoy Jan 14 '13 at 23:13
  • Everyone's a beginner at some point. I updated the answer, hopefully you find it more helpful. – digitaljoel Jan 14 '13 at 23:27
  • I did that and I'm still having the same problem. – Zac Canoy Jan 14 '13 at 23:33
  • It won't let me put it in try/catch... isn't that what I'm supposed to do? – Zac Canoy Jan 14 '13 at 23:35
  • Ok, updated again with more information about the versions and an alternate json library. You could also use Jackson, which is my preferred json library, but it's also bigger than gson. – digitaljoel Jan 14 '13 at 23:48
  • This worked for, but now i'm getting this error: Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lorg/apache/commons/collections/Buffer; – felipekm Mar 27 '14 at 14:31
