How to parse JSON in Android -

where can find step-by-step instructions on how parse json feed in android? i'm android beginner wanting learn.

android has tools need parse json built-in. example follows, no need gson or that.

get json:

defaulthttpclient   httpclient = new defaulthttpclient(new basichttpparams()); httppost httppost = new httppost(http://somejsonurl/jsonwebservice); // depends on web service httppost.setheader("content-type", "application/json");  inputstream inputstream = null; string result = null; try {     httpresponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);                httpentity entity = response.getentity();      inputstream = entity.getcontent();     // json utf-8 default     bufferedreader reader = new bufferedreader(new inputstreamreader(inputstream, "utf-8"), 8);     stringbuilder sb = new stringbuilder();      string line = null;     while ((line = reader.readline()) != null)     {         sb.append(line + "\n");     }     result = sb.tostring(); } catch (exception e) {      // oops } {     try{if(inputstream != null)inputstream.close();}catch(exception squish){} } 

now have json, what?

create jsonobject:

jsonobject jobject = new jsonobject(result); 

to specific string

string ajsonstring = jobject.getstring("stringname"); 

to specific boolean

boolean ajsonboolean = jobject.getboolean("booleanname"); 

to specific integer

int ajsoninteger = jobject.getint("integername"); 

to specific long

long ajsonlong = jobject.getboolean("longname"); 

to specific double

double ajsondouble = jobject.getdouble("doublename"); 

to specific jsonarray:

jsonarray jarray = jobject.getjsonarray("arrayname"); 

to items array

for (int i=0; < jarray.length(); i++) {     try {         jsonobject oneobject = jarray.getjsonobject(i);         // pulling items array         string oneobjectsitem = oneobject.getstring("stringnameinthearray");         string oneobjectsitem2 = oneobject.getstring("anotherstringnameinthearray");     } catch (jsonexception e) {         // oops     } }
