I am building an android app quiz, i am learning how to get data from API and display it. So far, i am doing good. But i can't seems to get further. The free api i am using is this
https://www.opentdb.com/api.php?amount=10&category=10
My problem is i can't seems to match the question and the correct answer from the object. I always get random question and random correct answer on button click
This is my code
//url = https://www.opentdb.com/api.php?amount=25
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private TextView textData;
private TextView answer;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnId);
textData = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtV);
answer = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.answerCorrect);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//executing the AsyncTask on button click
new JSONTask().execute("https://www.opentdb.com/api.php?amount=10&category=10&difficulty=easy&type=multiple");
}
});
}
class JSONTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
StringBuffer stringBuffer;
BufferedReader bufferedReader = null;
try {
//passing url here
URL url = new URL(params[0]);
//making a connection
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
//connecting to the server
connection.connect();
//getting object from server and storing to inputStream
InputStream stream = connection.getInputStream();
//buffer reader to read the data from inputstream
bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
//holding data
stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
String line = "";
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuffer.append(line);
}
//toString will be passed to the onPostExecute result value
//return completed JSON object
String finalOBJ = stringBuffer.toString();
//passing entire json object in new JSON object instance.
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(finalOBJ);
//getting the array from the main object
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("results");
//passing the desired index from the results
JSONObject fobj = jsonArray.getJSONObject(3);
JSONObject ansobj = jsonArray.getJSONObject(4);
//getting the key from results array
String question = fobj.getString("question");
return question;
} catch (IOException | JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (connection != null) {
connection.disconnect();
}
try {
if (bufferedReader != null) {
bufferedReader.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return null;
}
@Override
//here result will take the data
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
textData.setText(result);
}
}
JSON APi i am taking from that site.
What i want to achieve is the show the question with the correct answer from same object.
