get string from php json encode to android target api23+

Question

I have a php file that generates data that must take to Android.

This is the file output .php

[{"item":"1","title":"Title of one","link":"qwerty1234"},{"item":"2","title":"Title of two","link":"qwerty1234"},{"item":"3","title":"Title of three","link":"qwerty1234"}]

Now there have been changes with the class apache: Link here

Looking around I find several guides on the old method but I wanted to use the new one since my app is the targetSdkVersion 23.
I think this is the new method with JsonReader and HttpURLConnection.

I tried but I can not make it work or understand how to handle it.

So I ask, how do I take the strings from php page that creates? (example: title and link)

Answer 1

please try this.

it's working for me.

    String url = "someurl.php";
    HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);

    // Creating HTTP client
    HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();

    try {
        HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
        String responseString = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());

        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(responseString);

        String error = jsonObject.getString("item1");

    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

in this case i was using GSON to later parse the response but you can parse it as you wish.

this is a snippet of code that i can provide, if you need more help or if some dependencies are missing please tell me so i can point you in the right direction.
