JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation. It is structured, light weight, human readable and easy to parse. It’s a best alternative to XML when our android app needs to interchange data from server. XML parsing is very complex as compare to JSON parsing.<\/p>\n

JSON is shorter, quicker and easier way to interchange data from server. JSON is great success and most of the API available support JSON format.<\/p>\n

Android Provide us four different classes to manipulate JSON data. These classes are JSONObject, JSONArray, JSONStringer and JSONTokenizer.<\/p>\n

\n

Sample JSON format:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Below is the sample code of JSON. Its very simple JSON code which gives us the list of users where each object contain the information like user id, name, email, gender and different contact numbers.<\/p>\n

 {\r\n    \"users\": [\r\n        {\r\n                \"id\": \"1087\",\r\n                \"name\": \"Abhishek Saini\",\r\n                \"email\": \"info@abhiandroid.com\",\r\n                \"gender\" : \"male\",\r\n                \"contact\": {\r\n                    \"mobile\": \"+91 0000000000\",\r\n                    \"home\": \"00 000000\",\r\n                    \"office\": \"00 000000\"\r\n                }\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n                \"id\": \"1088\",\r\n                \"name\": \"Gourav\",\r\n                \"email\": \"gourav9188@gmail.com\",\r\n                \"gender\" : \"male\",\r\n                \"contact\": {\r\n                    \"mobile\": \"+91 0000000000\",\r\n                    \"home\": \"00 000000\",\r\n                    \"office\": \"00 000000\"\r\n                }\r\n        },\r\n        .\r\n        .\r\n        .\r\n        .\r\n  ]\r\n}<\/pre>\n
JSON Elements In Android:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
In Android, JSON consist of many components. Below we define some common components.<\/p>\n
1. Array([):\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> In a JSON, square bracket ([) represents a JSONArray. JSONArray values may be any mix of JSONObjects, other JSONArrays, Strings, Booleans, Integers, Longs, Doubles, null or NULL. Values may not be NaNs, infinities, or of any type not listed here.<\/p>\n
2. Objects({):<\/strong><\/span> In a JSON, curly bracket ({) represents a JSONObject. A JSONObject represents the data in the form of key and value pair. JSONObject values may be any mix of other JSONObjects, JSONArrays, Strings, Booleans, Integers, Longs, Doubles, null or NULL. Values may not be NaNs, infinities, or of any type not listed here.<\/p>\n
3. key:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span> A JSONObject contains a key that is in string format. A pair of key and value creates a JSONObject.<\/p>\n
4. Value:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Each key has a value that could be primitive datatype(integer, float, String etc).<\/p>\n
\n
JSON Parsing In Android:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Usually, JSON contain two types of nodes JSONArray and JSONObject so while parsing we have to use the appropriate method. If JSON starts from square bracket ([) we use getJSONArray() method and if it start from curly bracket ({) then we should use the getJSONObject() method. Apart from these there are some other methods for better parsing JSON data.<\/p>\n
\n
JSONObjet Parsing methods:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Below we define some important methods of JSONObject parsing which are mainly used for parsing the data from JSONObject.<\/p>\n

Example 1 of\u00a0<\/strong>Simple JSON Parsing In Android Studio:<\/h4>\n
Below is the example of JSON parsing in Android, In this example we parse the data from JSON and then display it in the UI.In this, we have employee name and salary stored in JSON format. Firstly we create two TextView’s in our XML file and then in our Activity we parse the data using JSONObject methods and set it in the TextView’s.<\/p>\n
Below you can download code, see final output and step by step explanation of the example:<\/p>\n
Download Code<\/a><\/p>\n
\"JSON<\/p>\n
Step 1:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> Create a new project and name it JSONParsingExample.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/span> <\/strong>Open res -> layout -> activity_main.xml (or) main.xml and add following code:<\/p>\n
In this step we create two TextView’s for displaying employee name and salary.<\/p>\n
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\r\n<RelativeLayout xmlns:android=\"http:\/\/schemas.android.com\/apk\/res\/android\"\r\n    xmlns:tools=\"http:\/\/schemas.android.com\/tools\"\r\n    android:layout_width=\"match_parent\"\r\n    android:layout_height=\"match_parent\"\r\n    tools:context=\"abhiandroid.com.jsonparsingexample.MainActivity\">\r\n\r\n    <TextView\r\n        android:id=\"@+id\/name\"\r\n        android:layout_width=\"wrap_content\"\r\n        android:layout_height=\"wrap_content\"\r\n        android:layout_centerHorizontal=\"true\"\r\n        android:layout_marginTop=\"50dp\"\r\n        android:text=\"Name\"\r\n        android:textColor=\"#000\"\r\n        android:textSize=\"20sp\" \/>\r\n\r\n    <TextView\r\n        android:id=\"@+id\/salary\"\r\n        android:layout_width=\"wrap_content\"\r\n        android:layout_height=\"wrap_content\"\r\n        android:layout_centerHorizontal=\"true\"\r\n        android:layout_marginTop=\"80dp\"\r\n        android:text=\"Salary\"\r\n        android:textColor=\"#000\"\r\n        android:textSize=\"20sp\" \/>\r\n<\/RelativeLayout>\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 3 :<\/span><\/strong> Now open app -> java -> package -> MainActivity.java and add the below code.<\/p>\n
In this step firstly we get the reference of both TextView’s then we parse the JSON using JSONObject methods and finally we set the data in Textview’s.<\/p>\n
package abhiandroid.com.jsonparsingexample;\r\n\r\nimport android.os.Bundle;\r\nimport android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;\r\nimport android.widget.TextView;\r\n\r\nimport org.json.JSONException;\r\nimport org.json.JSONObject;\r\n\r\npublic class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {\r\n\r\n\r\n    String JSON_STRING = \"{\\\"employee\\\":{\\\"name\\\":\\\"Abhishek Saini\\\",\\\"salary\\\":65000}}\";\r\n    String name, salary;\r\n    TextView employeeName, employeeSalary;\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {\r\n        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);\r\n        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);\r\n        \/\/ get the reference of TextView's\r\n        employeeName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.name);\r\n        employeeSalary = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.salary);\r\n\r\n        try {\r\n            \/\/ get JSONObject from JSON file\r\n            JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(JSON_STRING);\r\n            \/\/ fetch JSONObject named employee\r\n            JSONObject employee = obj.getJSONObject(\"employee\");\r\n            \/\/ get employee name and salary\r\n            name = employee.getString(\"name\");\r\n            salary = employee.getString(\"salary\");\r\n            \/\/ set employee name and salary in TextView's\r\n            employeeName.setText(\"Name: \"+name);\r\n            employeeSalary.setText(\"Salary: \"+salary);\r\n\r\n        } catch (JSONException e) {\r\n            e.printStackTrace();\r\n        }\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n

JSON Parsing File Example 2 In Android Studio:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Below is the 2nd example of JSON parsing In Android Studio. In this example we create a JSON file and store it in assets folder of Android. In this JSON file we have list of users where each object contain the information like user id, name, email, gender and different contact numbers. In this we are using LinearLayoutManager with vertical orientation to display the array items. Firstly we declare a RecyclerView in our XML file and then get the reference of it in our Activity. After that we fetch the JSON file then parse the JSONArray data and finally set the Adapter to show the items in RecyclerView. Whenever a user clicks on an item the name of the Person is displayed on the screen with the help of Toast.<\/p>\n

\"JSON<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong><\/span> Create a new project and name it JSONParsingExample.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/span><\/strong> Open Gradle Scripts > build.gradle and add RecyclerView and CardView Library dependency in it.<\/p>\n
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'\r\n\r\nandroid {\r\n    compileSdkVersion 24\r\n    buildToolsVersion \"24.0.1\"\r\n\r\n    defaultConfig {\r\n        applicationId \"abhiandroid.com.jsonparsingexample\"\r\n        minSdkVersion 16\r\n        targetSdkVersion 24\r\n        versionCode 1\r\n        versionName \"1.0\"\r\n    }\r\n    buildTypes {\r\n        release {\r\n            minifyEnabled false\r\n            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'\r\n        }\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n\r\ndependencies {\r\n    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])\r\n    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'\r\n    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.1.1'\r\n    compile \"com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1\" \/\/ dependency file for RecyclerView\r\n    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.1' \/\/ dependency file for CardView\r\n}<\/pre>\n
Step 3:<\/strong><\/span> Open res -> layout -> activity_main.xml (or) main.xml and add following code:<\/p>\n
In this step we create a RecyclerView in our XML file.<\/p>\n
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\r\n<RelativeLayout xmlns:android=\"http:\/\/schemas.android.com\/apk\/res\/android\"\r\n    xmlns:tools=\"http:\/\/schemas.android.com\/tools\"\r\n    android:layout_width=\"match_parent\"\r\n    android:layout_height=\"match_parent\"\r\n    tools:context=\"abhiandroid.com.jsonparsingexample.MainActivity\">\r\n\r\n    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView\r\n        android:id=\"@+id\/recyclerView\"\r\n        android:layout_width=\"match_parent\"\r\n        android:layout_height=\"match_parent\" \/>\r\n<\/RelativeLayout>\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 4:<\/strong><\/span> Create a new XML file rowlayout.xml for item of RecyclerView and paste the following code in it.<\/p>\n
In this step we create a new xml file for item row in which we create a TextView to show the data.<\/p>\n
 <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\r\n\r\n<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android=\"http:\/\/schemas.android.com\/apk\/res\/android\"\r\n    xmlns:card_view=\"http:\/\/schemas.android.com\/apk\/res-auto\"\r\n    xmlns:tools=\"http:\/\/schemas.android.com\/tools\"\r\n    android:id=\"@+id\/card_view\"\r\n    android:layout_width=\"match_parent\"\r\n    android:layout_margin=\"5dp\"\r\n    android:layout_height=\"wrap_content\">\r\n\r\n    <LinearLayout\r\n        android:layout_width=\"match_parent\"\r\n        android:layout_height=\"wrap_content\"\r\n        android:orientation=\"vertical\"\r\n        android:padding=\"10dp\">\r\n        <!--\r\n        items for a single row of RecyclerView\r\n        -->\r\n        <TextView\r\n            android:id=\"@+id\/name\"\r\n            android:layout_width=\"wrap_content\"\r\n            android:layout_height=\"wrap_content\"\r\n            android:text=\"Name\"\r\n            android:textColor=\"#000\"\r\n            android:textSize=\"20sp\" \/>\r\n\r\n        <TextView\r\n            android:id=\"@+id\/email\"\r\n            android:layout_width=\"wrap_content\"\r\n            android:layout_height=\"wrap_content\"\r\n            android:text=\"email@email.com\"\r\n            android:textColor=\"#000\"\r\n            android:textSize=\"15sp\" \/>\r\n\r\n        <TextView\r\n            android:id=\"@+id\/mobileNo\"\r\n            android:layout_width=\"wrap_content\"\r\n            android:layout_height=\"wrap_content\"\r\n            android:text=\"e9999999999\"\r\n            android:textColor=\"#000\"\r\n            android:textSize=\"15sp\" \/>\r\n    <\/LinearLayout>\r\n<\/android.support.v7.widget.CardView>\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 5 :<\/span><\/strong> Now open app -> java -> package -> MainActivity.java and add the below code.<\/p>\n
In this step firstly we get the reference of RecyclerView. After that we fetch the JSON file from assets and parse the JSON data using JSONArray and JSONObject methods and then set a LayoutManager and finally we set the Adapter to show the items in RecyclerView.<\/p>\n

Step 6:<\/strong><\/span> Create a new class CustomAdapter.java inside package and add the following code.<\/p>\n
In this step we create a CustomAdapter class and extends RecyclerView.Adapter class with ViewHolder in it. After that we implement the overrided methods and create a constructor for getting the data from Activity, In this custom Adapter two methods are more important first is onCreateViewHolder in which we inflate the layout item xml and pass it to View Holder and other is onBindViewHolder in which we set the data in the view\u2019s with the help of ViewHolder.<\/p>\n
