How to display/request JSON Object using Android V

Question

I'm having a problem in Android Studio on how to request JSON Object.

My Logcat can only print String onResponse but not JSONObject value. I'm having a problem in line try{} inside AccessActivity.java

My code explanation as below.

I have these JSON Object output that I fetch from mysql database.

{
    "access":"PA001",
    "password":"123",
    "fullname":"ARCADE",
    "branch":"HQ",
    "section":"MPR"
}

In my PHP code, this is how I fetch the data and encode it as JSON Object.

access.php

<?php
    $conn = mysqli_connect("","","","");
    if(
        isset($_POST['access']) &&
        isset($_POST['password'])
    ){
        $access     = $_POST['access'];
        $password   = $_POST['password'];
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE access = '$access' AND password = '$password' ";
        $result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
        if($result && mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0){
            while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){

                $accessdb     = $row['access'];
                $passworddb   = $row['password'];
                $fullnamedb   = $row['fullname'];
                $branchdb     = $row['branch'];
                $sectiondb    = $row['section'];

                echo "success_access";

                $response = array('access' => $accessdb, 'password' => $passworddb, 'fullname' => $fullnamedb, 'branch' => $branchdb, 'section' => $sectiondb);
                echo json_encode($response);
            }
        mysqli_free_result($result);
        } else {
            echo "access_failed";
        }
    }
?>

But my problem occurs in Android Studio,

1. I can't even print Log.e(TAG, "JSON Object =" + jsonObject);
2. I can't intent JSON Object value into next activity.

Here's my code .

AccessActivity.java

public class AccessActivity extends AppCompatActivity{

    final String TAG = this.getClass().getName();
    EditText etAccess, etPassword;
    Button bLogin;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        etAccess        = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.etAccess);
        etPassword      = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.etPassword);
        bLogin          = (Button)findViewById(R.id.bLogin);
        bLogin.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                String url = "http://localhost/access.php";
                StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, new Response.Listener<String>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(String response) {
                        Log.e(TAG, "Response is = " + response);
                        if(response.equals("success_access")){
                            try {
                                JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
                                Log.e(TAG, "JSON Object is = " + jsonObject);

                                final String accessdb   = jsonObject.getString("access");
                                final String passworddb = jsonObject.getString("password");
                                final String fullnamedb = jsonObject.getString("fullname");
                                final String branchdb   = jsonObject.getString("branch");
                                final String sectiondb  = jsonObject.getString("branch");

                                Intent intent = new Intent(AccessActivity.this, NextActivity.class);
                                intent.putExtra("access",   accessdb);
                                intent.putExtra("password", passworddb);
                                intent.putExtra("fullname", fullnamedb);
                                intent.putExtra("branch",   branchdb);
                                intent.putExtra("section",  sectiondb);
                                AccessActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
                            } catch (JSONException e) {
                                e.printStackTrace();
                            }
                        } else{
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Access Error", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        }
                    }
                }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Volley Error", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
                }){
                    @Override
                    protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
                        Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
                        params.put("access",   etAccess.getText().toString());
                        params.put("password", etPassword.getText().toString());
                        return params;
                    }
                };
                MySingleton.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).addToRequestQueue(stringRequest);
            }
        });
    }
}

UPDATE :

my logcat display this

08-22 10:22:22.059 19801-19908/com.apps.test D/NetworkSecurityConfig: No Network Security Config specified, using platform default

Appreciate if someone can help me to solve this problem. Thanks.

Answer 1

Try this.

In the AccessActivity

 Intent intent = new Intent(AccessActivity.this, NextActivity.class);
 intent.putExtra("access",   accessdb);
 intent.putExtra("password", passworddb);
 intent.putExtra("fullname", fullnamedb);
 intent.putExtra("branch",   branchdb);
 intent.putExtra("section",  sectiondb);
 AccessActivity.this.startActivity(intent);

change

LoginActivity.this.startActivity(intent);

to

AccessActivity.this.startActivity(intent);

In the NextActivity

Intent intent = getIntent();
String access = intent.getStringExtra("access");
String password = intent.getStringExtra("password");
String fullname = intent.getStringExtra("fullname");
String branch = intent.getStringExtra("branch");
String section = intent.getStringExtra("section");

Edited

change

if(response.equals("success_access")){
}

to

if(response.contains("success_access")){
}

And according to your code. You need to make sure that your current Activity is com.apps.test.AccessActivity or com.apps.test.AccessActivity.

Edited

change to

if (response.contains("success_access")) {
        String res = response.substring(response.indexOf("{"));
        try {
            JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(res);
            final String accessdb = jsonObject.getString("access");
            final String passworddb = jsonObject.getString("password");
            final String fullnamedb = jsonObject.getString("fullname");
            final String branchdb = jsonObject.getString("branch");
            final String sectiondb = jsonObject.getString("branch");
            Log.e("Tag", accessdb);

        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
 }

Answer 2

Your requesting a JsonObject? You seem to have a grasp on StringRequest, so ill keep it simple. Change your StringRequest to a JsonObjectRequest.

Answer 3

Problem :

As you can see in your logcat the response that you get from the server is success_access{"access":"PA001","password":"123","fullname":"ARCADE","branch":"HQ","section":"HQ"}

First, this is not a valid JSON. Also, that is the value of the response variable. Now, your response.equals("success_access") will never return true, and hence the code control will never enter the if block.

Solution :

Ideally, there should be no extra string like success_access, insted your response should be a JSON object ALWAYS containing one specified field (the result feild for example). To show success, your JSON will look something like :

{
    result : "success_access",
    /* other parameters down here */
} 

And in case of failure :

{
    result : "access_failed"
} 

And then your code should convert the respose string into a JSON (your server code should make sure that it returns a valid JSON always) check for the value of the result field and proceed further.

Quick Fix :

Change your code to :

  ....
  Log.e(TAG, "Response is = " + response);
  String result = response.replace("{.*}","");
  String jsonString = response.replace(result, "");

  if(result.equals("success_access")){
    try {
            JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
    ....
