JSON parsing to Java - Android application

Question

I need help with parsing json string in Java Android Appl.

Text of JSON file:

{\"data\":{\"columns\":[\"location_id\",\"name\",\"description\",\"lati         


        

Answer 1

You need to use the GSON lib http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/

Object Examples

class BagOfPrimitives {
  private int value1 = 1;
  private String value2 = "abc";
  private transient int value3 = 3;
  BagOfPrimitives() {
    // no-args constructor
  }
}

(Serialization)

BagOfPrimitives obj = new BagOfPrimitives();
Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = gson.toJson(obj);  
==> json is {"value1":1,"value2":"abc"}

Note that you can not serialize objects with circular references since that will result in infinite recursion.

(Deserialization)

BagOfPrimitives obj2 = gson.fromJson(json, BagOfPrimitives.class);   
==> obj2 is just like obj
