How to put soap response into gridview in android?

I am fairly new to android, and I have been researching here and there about how to put a response from soap webservice to gridview. I have successfully used asynctask and also used internal storage to make session-like method to prevent login repeatedly, but surprisingly when the data response shows in log, it goes something like this:

anyType{schema=anyType{element=anyType{complexType=anyType{choice=anyType{element=anyType{complexType=anyType{sequence=anyType{element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; element=anyType{}; }; }; }; }; }; }; }; diffgram=anyType{NewDataSet=anyType{Table=anyType{itemid=155; usercode=CSSCWT ; name=CSSCWT ; level=3; password=4664538057732345268530826668298694488379 ; email= ; suspend=false; systemuser=true; deptcode=JMB ; postartpage=false; ldapusercode= ; popagesize=20; porefreshmins=5; podatesequence=1; mobileno= ; pooldmessagedisplay=7; }; Table=anyType{itemid=151; usercode=CSSTKS ; name=TAN KIM SIN ; level=3; password=15526725128958598368602650 ; email= ; suspend=false; systemuser=true; deptcode= ; postartpage=false; ldapusercode= ; popagesize=20; porefreshmins=5; podatesequence=1; mobileno= ; pooldmessagedisplay=7; }; Table=anyType{itemid=156; usercode=CSSMEL ; name=CSSMEL ; level=3; password=24554526638351588705641272148333949942249 ; email= ; suspend=false; systemuser=true; deptcode= ; postartpage=false; ldapusercode= ; popagesize=20; porefreshmins=5; podatesequence=1; mobileno= ; pooldmessagedisplay=7; }; Table=anyType{itemid=158; usercode=CSSWYL ; name=CSSWYL ; level=3; password=13215756980269776576 ; email= ; suspend=false; systemuser=true; deptcode= ; postartpage=false; ldapusercode= ; popagesize=20; porefreshmins=5; podatesequence=1; mobileno= ; pooldmessagedisplay=7; }; Table=anyType{itemid=167; usercode=CSSRAY ; name=CSSRAY ; level=3; password=24554526928351758705991272155333956942257 ; email= ; suspend=false; systemuser=true; deptcode= ; postartpage=false; ldapusercode= ; popagesize=20; porefreshmins=5; podatesequence=1; mobileno= ; pooldmessagedisplay=7; }; Table=anyType{itemid=168; usercode=CINDYLIM ; name=CINDYLIM ; level=2; password=456235079768049738389084786769055893663763886739827878

i have also tried using gridview with examples before, but it was in C# and this was created using java and i couldn't find any way of putting/formatting this soap response into gridview. Even if it couldn't, i hope to be explained of a very brief example of how to, and i would try to do it. Or if anyone found a very helpful link that i overlooked, do post it here.

Also to bear in mind that the webservice created only asks for servername, database, and mssql command strings. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Solution

  • Found a way to do it. Basically you just need to get the properties for each soapobjects because the json data returned is like a tree.

    So what we should do is, we need to retrieve each branch from a tree;

    SoapObject response = (SoapObject)responseReturned.getProperty("diffgram");

response = (SoapObject)response.getProperty("NewDataSet");

SoapObject result = (SoapObject)response.getProperty(rowIndex); //this is start of the table. Needs to be looped row per row

txtName.setText(result.getProperty(colIndex).toString().trim()); //this is where you get the value from each column.
