Parsing Json url using async

Question

I get exceptions when running this code. I want to parse the url which is an array of json objects:

package com.example.compsci_734t;

import java.io.BufferedRea         


        

Answer 1

The error is explanatory itself:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character in scheme at index 0

You need to remove the beginning space character in your URL:

private static String url = "http://redsox.tcs.auckland.ac.nz/734A/CSService.svc/courses";

Update:

After you've updated your question, now the problem seems in this line:

courses = json.getJSONArray(TAG_COURSES);

because you haven't initialized or set the value of courses that's why its giving NullPointerException error.
