JSON omdb parsing

Movie_search is a text field got from the user and ive referenced it by using 

movie_search= (EditText)findViewById(r.id.editText);

and same goes for the button too

btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Log.i(NEWS,"IMDB LINK->:"+movie_search);
            URL="http://www.omdbapi.com/?t="+movie_search+"";
            Log.i(NEWS,"IMDB LINK->:"+URL);
            new DownloadConfigurationTask().execute(URL);
        }
    });

the problem is the string doesnt seem to append to the url, the log i get is

IMDB LINK->:movie_search

IMDB LINK->:http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=

instead of

IMDB LINK->:movie_search

IMDB LINK->:http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=movie_search

any ideas what might be the problem ?

Solution

  • use EditText.getText() for getting text entered by user and append it with URL instead of EditText instance. change it as:

    URL="http://www.omdbapi.com/?t="+movie_search.getText()+"";
