Error parsing JSON data in java

Question

I have searched for solutions for a day and cannot find one that applies for my situation. I am sorry but I am new to JSON (self taught programmer) and I don't know what classes should I only post, so I will put in everything I have. I am getting the following error from LogCat:

Error parsing data org.json.JSONException: Value <?xml of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject

Here is my class:

package com.example.mytravelbuddy;

import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.ListAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.SimpleAdapter;
import android.widget.Toast;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;

public class Itinerary extends Activity {

    // Progress Dialog
    private ProgressDialog pDialog;

    //JSON Parser
    JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();

    //URL To Get Products
    public static String url = "URL REMOVED"; //Removed my url since i was hosting online

    //JSON Node names
    private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
    private static final String TAG_ITEMS = "items";
    private static final String TAG_ID = "ID";
    private static final String TAG_LOCATION = "Location";
    private static final String TAG_DESCRIPTION = "Description";
    private static final String TAG_LATITUDE = "Latitude";
    private static final String TAG_LONGITUDE = "Longitude";
    private static final String TAG_TIME = "Time";

    //Array list
    ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> itemList;

    //Items JSONArray
    JSONArray items = null;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_starting_point);

        itemList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

        new LoadAllItems().execute();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.starting_point, menu);
        return true;
    }

    class LoadAllItems extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>{

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            super.onPreExecute();
            pDialog = new ProgressDialog(Itinerary.this);
            pDialog.setMessage("Loading items. Please wait...");
            pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
            pDialog.setCancelable(false);
            pDialog.show();
        }


        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {

            //Building Params
            List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();        

            //Getting JSON String
            JSONObject json = jParser.makeHttpRequest(url, "GET", params);

            try{
                //Getting array of items
                Log.i("Error","ERROR 1"); //This error message is displayed
                items = json.getJSONArray(TAG_ITEMS); //This is the line that is giving me a problem
                Log.i("Error","ERROR 2"); //This error message is not displayed

                //Looping through
                for(int i = 0; i < items.length();i++){

                    JSONObject c = items.getJSONObject(i);

                    //Storing JSON item in variable
                    String location = c.getString(TAG_LOCATION);
                    String description = c.getString(TAG_DESCRIPTION);
                    String longitude = c.getString(TAG_LONGITUDE);
                    String latitude = c.getString(TAG_LATITUDE);
                    String time = c.getString(TAG_TIME);


                    //Creating HashMap
                    HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();

                    //Put value in hashmap map
                    map.put(TAG_LOCATION, location);
                    map.put(TAG_DESCRIPTION, description);
                    map.put(TAG_LONGITUDE, longitude);
                    map.put(TAG_LATITUDE, latitude);
                    map.put(TAG_TIME, time);

                    itemList.add(map);
                }
            }catch(JSONException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            return null;
        }}
}

I found in which line I am getting the error by displaying error messages in LogCat.

Here is my PHP file that I am trying to get response from:

 <?php

$user = "root";
$pass = "";
$database = "travel_buddy";
$server = "127.0.0.1";

mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass);
    $db_found = mysql_select_db($database);


get_details();


function get_details(){
$response = array();
$result = mysql_query("SELECT *FROM adventure");

if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0){
    $response["items"] = array();

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
        $info = array();
        $info["ID"] = $row["ID"];
        $info["Location"] = $row["Location"];
        $info["Description"] = $row["Description"];
        $info["Latitude"] = $row["Latitude"];
        $info["Longitude"] = $row["Longitude"];
        $info["Time"] = $row["Time"];

        array_push($response["items"], $info);
    }
        $response["success"] = 1;

        echo json_encode($response);
} else {
    $response["success"] = 0;
    $response["message"] = "No Information Found";

    echo json_encode($response);
}

}

?>

Here is my JSON Response:

{
    "items": [
        {
            "ID": "1",
            "Location": "TEST",
            "Description": "TEST DESC",
            "Latitude": "1",
            "Longitude": "2",
            "Time": "3:00"
        },
        {
            "ID": "2",
            "Location": "TEST2",
            "Description": "TEST2 DESC",
            "Latitude": "1",
            "Longitude": "1",
            "Time": "7:00"
        },
        {
            "ID": "3",
            "Location": "TEST3",
            "Description": "TEST3 DESC",
            "Latitude": "3",
            "Longitude": "4",
            "Time": "12:00"
        }
    ],
    "success": 1
}

Here is my JSON Parser Class:

        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        try {
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                    is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            String line = null;
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                sb.append(line + "\n");
            }
            is.close();
            json = sb.toString();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
        }

        // try parse the string to a JSON object
        try {
            jObj = new JSONObject(json);
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
        }

        // return JSON String
        return jObj;

    }
}

Any help would be really helpful, possible explaining why I have this error so I don't repeat it again.

EDIT: Why is my program getting an XML value?

When you take the URL from your AsyncTask and put it in the browser, do you get a JSON response? — Jon, Dec 10 '13 at 19:56
@Jon Yes it does work. I removed it because I am hosting it on an online server. — Trifecta, Dec 10 '13 at 19:59
@DoubleDouble how do i put it all in one string from the php script? — Trifecta, Dec 10 '13 at 20:01
@DoubleDouble It's okay. Do you have an idea of what is going on??? I don't know why it's reading it as an xml value! — Trifecta, Dec 10 '13 at 20:03
@user2904544 Can you provide what your JSON string looks like in the constructor of JSONObject? — Jon, Dec 10 '13 at 20:07
try printing json = sb.toString(); in your debug log and paste it here that way we can see what is returned by your http request. — saiful103a, Dec 10 '13 at 20:08
Do you need to set an HTTP Accept header with application/json to indicate to the PHP server that you can handle JSON? — gnuf, Dec 10 '13 at 20:12
am not sure if this might be a problem or not but you are passing params in your get request where params is just a blank arraylist do u get the same response with or without parameter in your get request? — saiful103a, Dec 10 '13 at 20:36

public static String url = "URL REMOVED";

If you remove the URL then you will be hitting the localhost, thats why your are not seeing the JSON data but the Wamp php info instead.

You mentionned that your are now hosting the script, then you must use that URL:

public static String url = "http://www.pathtoyournewscript.com/json.php";

Can't help you with your specifics but if you are looking to use a higher level library you might consider

Jackson it's pretty fast and clean

Thanks for the link. I will check it out. Unfortunately time is against me to change my library now. – Trifecta Dec 10 '13 at 20:22

Are you sure you're looking for the json in the right place? I usually use HttpClient and get an HttpResponse object back from a connection like this.

The json is going to be in the response body I believe.

Here's a quick example

And another one
