How to Parse URL in Android?

Question

I have a URL which I have to parse and then reflect its data to its relevant fields. When I am putting my URL in statically format, I am able to get Data and parsing is done. My statically URL is like this

String URL = "http://54.152.108.131/iphone111/getParentInput?child_id=6272&date=1/19/2016";

But Now I want to change its ChldId and date so I made my URL in this format..

            String loginUrl = "http://54.152.108.131/iphone111/getParentInput?child_id="+id+"&date="+date.toString();

My Code is like this

class ParentInputData extends
        AsyncTask<String, String, JSONObject> {

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();

    }

    @Override
    protected JSONObject doInBackground(String... params) {
        String loginUrl = "http://54.152.108.131/iphone111/getParentInput?child_id="+id+"&date="+date.toString();
     Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "value of loginUrl : " + loginUrl, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    System.out.println(loginUrl);   

     JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();
        JSONObject json = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(loginUrl);
        return json;

    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(JSONObject json) {
        try {

            json_array = json.getJSONArray("CenterInfoData");
            for (int i = 0; i < json_array.length(); i++) {
                JSONObject c = json_array.getJSONObject(i);
                c = c.getJSONObject("ParentInput");

                String wake_up_time = c.getString("wake_up_time");
                String sleep_quality = c.getString("sleep_quality");
                String person_picking_child = c.getString("person_picking_child");
                String pick_up_time = c.getString("pick_up_time");
                String last_diaper_bm = c.getString("last_diaper_bm");
                String last_bottle_feeding = c.getString("last_bottle_feeding");
    }
}

But in this case I am getting Null Pointer Exception.. I debugged My URL but it still showing complete URL having ChildId and date.. Where I am doing Mistakes.. I already tried URLEncoder.. My LogCat is here

HI @vilpe89 I updated my code .. please check it and let me know where I am doing mistakes — kitkat, Jan 20 '16 at 06:14
can you use HTTPClient or AsyncHTTP Client for parsing the data? so you can add parameters in nameValuePairs. — Kishan B Manavadariya, Jan 20 '16 at 06:17

You are getting error because you are displaying Toast in Background thread.

Your doInBackground should looks like below:

@Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
   // Other stuff
   runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
          Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "value of loginUrl : " + loginUrl, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
      return null;
 }

Hope this will help you.
