How to parse Youtube Playlist into ArrayList

Question

I am parsing simple JSON as shown below:

if (status == 200) {
    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
    String data = EntityUtils.toString(entity);                 

    JSONObject jsono = new JSONObject(data);
    JSONArray jarray = jsono.getJSONArray("actors");

    for (int i = 0; i < jarray.length(); i++) {
        JSONObject object = jarray.getJSONObject(i);

        Actors actor = new Actors();

        actor.setName(object.getString("name"));                        
        actor.setImage(object.getString("image"));

        actorsList.add(actor);
    }
    return true;
}

And here is the JSON link using AsyncTask to execute:

 new JSONAsyncTask().execute("http://microblogging.wingnity.com/JSONParsingTutorial/jsonActors");

But now i have to parse Youtube JSON Playlist:

 http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/PLWz5rJ2EKKc9ofd2f-_-xmUi07wIGZa1c?v=2&alt=jsonc

I need to fetch few things, like: Title, Thumbnail, Link of each and every Video

Pojo:

public class Actors {

    private String name;    
    private String image;

    public Actors() {

    }

    public Actors(String name, String image) {
        super();
        this.name = name;
        this.image = image;
    }


    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getImage() {
        return image;
    }

    public void setImage(String image) {
        this.image = image;
    }

}

What is the Json format you are trying to parse? Or am I missing the question? (the youtube link returns 410) — Danielson, Jul 01 '15 at 06:39

You get response like this (IMPT PlayingList Response using ChannelId (query parameter))

{
 "kind": "youtube#playlistListResponse",
 "etag": "\"Y3xTLFF3RLtHXX85JBgzzgp2Enw/O8-3nTBpPVrsEjyg6BXeSSO2pU0\"",
 "pageInfo": {
  "totalResults": 3,
  "resultsPerPage": 5
 },
 "items": [
  {

   "kind": "youtube#playlist",
   "etag": "\"Y3xTLFF3RLtHXX85JBgzzgp2Enw/06IYq1oWiveiXSEbF8J6Ucf9LYs\"",
   "id": "PLFE56E5CE58D71A55",
   "snippet": {
    "publishedAt": "2012-04-05T17:01:18.000Z",
    "channelId": "UCjXfkj5iapKHJrhYfAF9ZGg",
    "title": "T&T Elite Canada 2012, April 4, 2012",
    "description": "",
    "thumbnails": {
     "default": {
      "url": "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/default.jpg"
     },
     "medium": {
      "url": "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/default.jpg"
     },
     "high": {
      "url": "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/default.jpg"
     }
    },
    "channelTitle": "AlbertaGymnastics",
    "localized": {
     "title": "T&T Elite Canada 2012, April 4, 2012",
     "description": ""
    }
   }
  }, ... and more items..}

Now create a pojo for above json response and read video details from items array

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/PLWz5rJ2EKKc9ofd2f-_-xmUi07wIGZa1c?v=2&alt=jsonc and getting: {"apiVersion":"2.1","error":{"code":410,"message":"No longer available","errors":[{"domain":"GData","code":"NoLongerAvailableException","internalReason":"No longer available"}]}} and i have made changes in my code as per requirement to fetch JSON response, but not getting any data... — Oreo, Jul 01 '15 at 07:18
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlists?part=snippet&channelId=UCjXfkj5iapKHJrhYfAF9ZGg&key={YOUR_API_KEY}... this url i used from YoutubeData API Reference... — Bharatesh, Jul 01 '15 at 08:07
Don't know but I guess `gdata.youtube.com` deprecated... visit https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/ — Bharatesh, Jul 01 '15 at 08:09
