I'm creating a trivia app and familiarizing myself with JSON, but i'm having trouble parsing a JSON object with multiple values to be able to assign each value to a Button.
I have a JSON that looks like this:
{
"response_code": 0,
"results": [{
"question": "question one?",
"correct_answer": "correct answer",
"incorrect_answers": ["wrong1", "wrong2", "wrong3"]
}, {
"question": "question2",
"correct_answer": "correct answer",
"incorrect_answers": ["wrong1", "wrong2", "wrong3"]
}
]
}
I am able to parse "question" and "correct_answer", but am not sure how to go about parsing the incorrect answers.
my Parser:
public class JsonParser
{
private URL urlin;
private static InputStream is = null;
private static JSONObject jObj = null;
private static JSONArray jArray = null;
private String jsonStr = " String to pass back";
public JsonParser()
{
//empty constructor
}
public JSONObject getJSONfromURL (String url)
{
HttpURLConnection urlConnection;
try
{
urlin = new URL(url);
urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) urlin.openConnection();
is = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
String line = null;
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
{
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
urlConnection.disconnect();
jsonStr = sb.toString();
}
catch (MalformedURLException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
try
{
jObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
}
catch (JSONException je)
{
je.printStackTrace();
}
}
return jObj;
}
}
How i'm parsing "question" and "correct_answer":
myArray = myObj.getJSONArray("results");
JSONObject tempObj = myArray.getJSONObject(0);
question = tempObj.getString("question");
A = tempObj.getString("correct_answer");
