Multi Level JSON Parsing

Question

I am writing multi level json parsing program, and able to get first level list, but not showing second level list while do tap on first level list item.

In short, i am listing categories just facing issue when trying to listing videos for tapped category.

I am doing something like this:

Main Activity [Listing Categories] > Another Activity [Listing Videos]

MainActivity.java:

static String NAME = "name";
static String THUMB = "thumb";    
.............................
        try {
            // Locate the array name in JSON
            jsonarray = jsonobject.getJSONArray("categories");

            for (int i = 0; i < jsonarray.length(); i++) {
                HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
                jsonobject = jsonarray.getJSONObject(i);
                // Retrive JSON Objects
                map.put("name", jsonobject.getString("name"));
                map.put("thumb", jsonobject.getString("thumb"));
                // Set the JSON Objects into the array
                arraylist.add(map);
            }
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

MainAdapter.java:

        // Capture ListView item click
        itemView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                // Get the position
                resultp = data.get(position);
                Intent intent = new Intent(context, AnotherActivity.class);
                // Pass name
                intent.putExtra("name", resultp.get(MainActivity.NAME));
                // Start AnotherActivity Class
                context.startActivity(intent);

            }
        });
        return itemView;
    }

Note: using above code getting Categories Listing

AnotherActivity.java-

 static String THUMB = "thumb";
 static String TITLE = "title";
 static String SUBTITLE = "subtitle";    
 static String DESCRIPTION = "description";
 ........................
            try {
            // Locate the array name in JSON
            jsonarray = jsonobject.getJSONArray("videos");

            for (int i = 0; i < jsonarray.length(); i++) {
                HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
                jsonobject = jsonarray.getJSONObject(i);
                final JSONArray sources = jsonobject.getJSONArray("sources");
                // Retrive JSON Objects
                map.put("title", jsonobject.getString("title"));
                map.put("thumb", jsonobject.getString("thumb"));
                // Set the JSON Objects into the array
                arraylist.add(map);
            }
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

<activity android:name="com.example.zing.AnotherActivity" />

Answer 1

You need to pass the json array to another activity

Then

try
    {

        JSONArray jr = jb.getJSONArray("categories");
        for(int i=0;i<jr.length();i++)
        {
            JSONObject jb1 = jr.getJSONObject(i);
            JSONArray jr1 = jb1.getJSONArray("videos");
            for(int j=0;j<jr1.length();j++)
            {
                JSONObject jb2 = jr1.getJSONObject(j);
                String title =(String) jb2.get("title");
                String thumb = (String) jb2.getString("thumb");
                Log.i(".........",title);
                Log.i(".........",thumb);

            }
        }

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

The log
