JSON returning empty array. Android

Question

The following is my code. It is returning empty array, like: Array ( ) Please check my code below and let me know what change is to be made. I am creating an JSON array and want to post it to an url.

                 String checkin = edit_message.getText().toString();
                 HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
                 String httppostURL = "http:// ...";
                 HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(httppostURL);
                 Log.v(TAG, "postURL: " + httppost);   

                       JSONObject data1 = new JSONObject();
                       data1.put("merchant_id", "02");
                       data1.put("merchant_location_id", "03");
                       data1.put("user_id", "04");
                       data1.put("merchant_kiosk_id", "04");
                       data1.put("subscriber_phone", checkin);

                       JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
                       jsonArray.put(data1);

                       JSONObject data= new JSONObject();
                       data.put("data",jsonArray); 

                        httppost.setHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE,"application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8");
                        //httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(data , "UTF-8"));
                        StringEntity se= new StringEntity(data.toString());
                        se.setContentType(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE,"application/json"));
                        httppost.setEntity(se);                 
                        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
                        HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();  
                        if (resEntity != null) {                               
                            String responseStr = EntityUtils.toString(resEntity).trim();
                            Log.v(TAG, "Response: " +  responseStr);
                            Log.i("TAG",""+response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
                            Toast.makeText(CheckinActivity.this,  responseStr, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
                            //you can add an if statement here and do other actions based on the response
                        }               
                        edit_message.setText("");
                        //Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"Sent",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        Toast.makeText(CheckinActivity.this, "Data: " +data,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                 } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
                     e.printStackTrace();
                 } catch (IOException e) {
                     e.printStackTrace();
                 } catch (Throwable t) {
                     Toast.makeText(CheckinActivity.this, "Request failed: " + t.toString(),
                             Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                 }

            }

    }

UPDATE:

Instead of

JSONObject data= new JSONObject();                         
data.put("data",jsonArray);

I used:

List <NameValuePair> nvps = new ArrayList <NameValuePair>();
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("data", data1.toString()));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvps, HTTP.UTF_8));

UPDATE 2

I have a json response like this

{"msg":Successfully logged in,"status":1}

If status = 1, I want to do some activity & if status = 0, I want to do something else. How to achieve this? And where to put the code? Thanks in advance.

if getting `Array ( )` in response means problem is in api on server side — ρяσѕρєя K, Feb 03 '15 at 06:22
List nvps = new ArrayList (); nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("data", data.toString())); httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvps, HTTP.UTF_8)); — Koyel, Feb 03 '15 at 06:43

   String checkin = edit_message.getText().toString();

                       JSONObject data1 = new JSONObject();

                       JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
                       jsonArray.put(data1);

                       JSONObject data= new JSONObject();
                       data.put("data",jsonArray); 

                        httppost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json;" + HTTP.UTF_8);
                        StringEntity se= new StringEntity(data.toString(),HTTP.UTF_8);

                        httppost.setEntity(se);                 
                        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
                        HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();  
                        if (resEntity != null) {                               
                            String responseStr = EntityUtils.toString(resEntity).trim();

                            //you can add an if statement here and do other actions based on the response
                        }               
                        edit_message.setText("");
                        //Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"Sent",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        Toast.makeText(CheckinActivity.this, "Data: " +data,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                     e.printStackTrace();
                 } catch (Throwable t) {
                     Toast.makeText(CheckinActivity.this, "Request failed: " + t.toString(),
                             Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                 }

            }

    }

Thanks. But it didn't work. I did: List nvps = new ArrayList (); nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("data", data.toString())); httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvps, HTTP.UTF_8)); — Koyel, Feb 03 '15 at 06:43

Use JSON classes for parsing e.g You can use below code for parsing.

JSONObject mainObject = new JSONObject(responseStr);
int status = mainObject.getInt("status");
if(status==1){
    //do something
}else{
    //do something else
}
....

Is this what you want?? please update the question title to get what exactly you need.
