I am using this code example, as orientation to retrieve json values. But in the async task, I get an NullPointer Exception:
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.adrianopaulus.zusatzstoffe.MainActivity$LoadAllIngreds.doInBackground(MainActivity.java:119)
at com.adrianopaulus.zusatzstoffe.MainActivity$LoadAllIngreds.doInBackground(MainActivity.java:101)
, while trying to retrieve a value.
Running the debugger, It starts my JSONParser class:
public class JSONParser {
InputStream is = null;
JSONObject jObj = null;
String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONParser() {
}
// function get json from url
// by making HTTP POST or GET mehtod
public JSONObject makeHttpRequest(String url, String method,
List<NameValuePair> params) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// check for request method
if(method == "POST"){
// request method is POST
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}else if(method == "GET"){
// request method is GET
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
String paramString = URLEncodedUtils.format(params, "utf-8");
url += "?" + paramString;
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} 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;
}
}
In it, my params is 0, and get jObj returned with value null.
In case needed my AsyncTask:
class LoadAllIngreds extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>{
protected void onPreExecute(){
super.onPreExecute();
//auf Activity achten
iDialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
iDialog.setMessage("Lädt update herunter. Bitte haben sie etwas Geduld...");
iDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
iDialog.setCancelable(false);
iDialog.show();
}
//TODO maybe make void since we only access DB
protected String doInBackground(String... args){
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
JSONObject json = jParser.makeHttpRequest(url_get_new_values, "GET", params);
try {
//error here since json = null;
int success = Integer.parseInt(json.getString(TAG_SUCCESS));
if (success == 1){
//TODO change var name to smth. with ingredients
ingredients = json.getJSONArray(TAG_INGREDIENTS);
int lengthRemoteDB = json.getInt(TAG_LENGTH);
int lengthLocalDB = dbHandler.getZusatzCount();
if (lengthRemoteDB > lengthLocalDB) {
//for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
//JSONObject c = ingredients.getJSONObject(i);
//getting JSON values
JSONArray id = ingredients.getJSONObject(0).getJSONArray(TAG_ID);
JSONArray name = ingredients.getJSONObject(1).getJSONArray(TAG_NAME);
JSONArray eName = ingredients.getJSONObject(2).getJSONArray(TAG_ENAME);
JSONArray causes = ingredients.getJSONObject(3).getJSONArray(TAG_CAUSES);
JSONArray danger = ingredients.getJSONObject(4).getJSONArray(TAG_DANGER);
//TODO ask for length
for (int i = lengthLocalDB; i < lengthRemoteDB; i++) {
if (dbHandler.getZusatz(i) == null) {
Zusatzstoffe zusatzstoffe = new Zusatzstoffe(Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(id.getJSONObject(i))),
String.valueOf(name.getJSONObject(i)), String.valueOf(eName.getJSONObject(i)),
String.valueOf(causes.getJSONObject(i)), Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(danger.getJSONObject(i))));
dbHandler.createZusatz(zusatzstoffe);
//TODO create method to be able to insert in DB <- done
//TODO put values in local DB <- done
//TODO in remote section -> create new table with update, and changed id's <-- probably take easier way, just see id difference (not sure)
//TODO in here -> pull only new data
}else {
Log.e("DB asyncTask", "ID besetzt");
}
}
}
}
}catch (JSONException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url){
iDialog.dismiss();
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
populateList();
}
});
}
}
