Closed 2 years ago.
I am getting this error when I am trying to convert following JSON response string from the server. I want to process JSONObject or JSONArray depending on the response from the server as most of the time it returns JSONArray.
JSON response from server
jsonString = {"message":"No Results found!","status":"false"}
Java code is as below
try
{
JSONArray jsonArrayResponse = new JSONArray(jsonString);
if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)
{
if(jsonArrayResponse != null && jsonArrayResponse.length() > 0)
{
getCancelPurchase(jsonArrayResponse.toString());
}
}
}
catch(JSONException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
Error Log:
org.json.JSONException: Value {"message":"No Results found!","status":"false"} of type org.json.JSONObject cannot be converted to JSONArray
at org.json.JSON.typeMismatch(JSON.java:111)
at org.json.JSONArray.<init>(JSONArray.java:96)
at org.json.JSONArray.<init>(JSONArray.java:108)
Can anybody help me.
Thanks
Based on your comment to answer 1, you can do is
String data = "{ ... }";
Object json = new JSONTokener(data).nextValue();
if (json instanceof JSONObject)
//you have an object
else if (json instanceof JSONArray)
//you have an array
Your response {"message":"No Results found!","status":"false"}
is not an array. It is an object. Use JSONObject
instead of JSONArray
in your code.
TIP: Arrays are wrapped in square brackets[ ] and objects are wrapped in curly braces{}.
I fix this issue by writing following code [ courtesy @Optional ]
String jsonString = "{\"message\":\"No Results found!\",\"status\":\"false\"}";
/* String jsonString = "[{\"prodictId\":\"P00001\",\"productName\":\"iPhone 6\"},"
+ "{\"prodictId\":\"P00002\",\"productName\":\"iPhone 6 Plus\"},"
+ "{\"prodictId\":\"P00003\",\"productName\":\"iPhone 7\"}]";
*/
JSONArray jsonArrayResponse;
JSONObject jsonObject;
try {
Object json = new JSONTokener(jsonString).nextValue();
if (json instanceof JSONObject) {
jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
if (jsonObject != null) {
System.out.println(jsonObject.toString());
}
} else if (json instanceof JSONArray) {
jsonArrayResponse = new JSONArray(jsonString);
if (jsonArrayResponse != null && jsonArrayResponse.length() > 0) {
System.out.println(jsonArrayResponse.toString());
}
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
