check attraction!=null before doing the for loop

JSONArray attraction = parser.makeHttpRequestArray("http://plesirsolo.meximas.com/plesir/attraction/wisata/getWisata/id/1", "GET", params);

if(attraction!=null){
  // do something
}

so I moved the code after JSONArray attraction = parser.makeHttpRequestArray("http://plesirsolo.meximas.com/plesir/attraction/wisata/getWisata/id/1", "GET", params); inside if ?? – Andrea Jun 02 '14 at 14:02
Not inside the if, you need to surround the loop with the if, and execute the loop if and only if `attraction!=null` – Alejandro Alcalde Jun 02 '14 at 14:07
its error was gone, but the data does not appear , the logcat : Error parsing data org.json.JSONException: Value of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONArray – Andrea Jun 02 '14 at 14:10
That URL is not returning JSON, is returning HTML – Alejandro Alcalde Jun 02 '14 at 14:35

It seems like your variable atraction is null because this call

JSONArray attraction = parser.makeHttpRequestArray("http://plesirsolo.meximas.com/plesir/attraction/wisata/getWisata/id/1", "GET", params);

is returning null, and later you are trying to access that variable in

for (int i = 0; i < attraction.length(); i++) {
    JSONObject c = attraction.getJSONObject(i);

Check that before accesing the object attraction it is initialized or if it is null do not enter the loop. You should also read: What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?
