Hello I am trying to develop an app for which I need a list of restaurants in a particular city. I am trying to use the Zomato API for the same. From the documentation at https://developers.zomato.com/documentation, I felt the /geocode method to be the closest fit for what I needed. A sample response for this looks like the following -
{"location": {

I am trying to create a Android Model class for the same in order to parse the response using GSON. My aim is to simply get the "restaurant" objects into a List so that I can give them to the card view adapter.
Currently this is what my model looks like -
public class RestaurantsZomato {
public LocationDetails location;
public Popularity popularity;
public String link;
public NearbyRestaurants nearby_restaurants;
public static class LocationDetails {
public String entity_type;
public int entity_id;
public String title;
public String latitude;
public String longitude;
public int city_id;
public String city_name;
public int country_id;
public String country_name;
}
public static class Popularity {
public String popularity;
public String nightlife_index;
public List<String> nearby_res;
public List<String> top_cuisines;
public String popularity_res;
public String nightlife_res;
public String subzone;
public int subzone_id;
public String city;
}
public static class NearbyRestaurants {
public RestaurantDetails restaurant;
}
public class RestaurantDetails {
public Rest R;
public String apikey;
public String id;
public String name;
public String url;
public LocationDetails location;
public String cuisines;
public String average_cost_for_two;
public String price_range;
public String currency;
public List<String> offers;
public String thumb;
public UserRating user_rating;
public String photos_url;
public String menu_url;
public String featured_image;
public String has_online_delivery;
public String is_delivering_now;
public String deeplink;
public String events_url;
public String all_reviews_count;
public String photo_count;
public String phone_numbers;
public LocationDetails getLocation(){
return location;
}
public static class LocationDetails {
public String address;
public String locality;
public String city;
public String latitude;
public String longitude;
public String zipcode;
public String country_id;
public String getAddress() {
return address;
}
}
public static class UserRating {
public static String aggregate_rating;
public String rating_text;
public String rating_color;
public String votes;
}
public static class Rest {
public float res_id;
}
}
And in my Fragment after the web service I'm parsing it like this -
Ion.getDefault(getActivity()).configure().setLogging(getString(R.string.app_name), Log.DEBUG);
Ion.with(getActivity())
.load("https://developers.zomato.com/api/v2.1/geocode?lat=25.12819&lon=55.22724")
.setHeader("user-key","my-user-key")
.asJsonObject()
.setCallback(new FutureCallback<JsonObject>() {
@Override
public void onCompleted(Exception e, JsonObject result) {
Log.d("FoodFragment", result.toString());
RestaurantsZomato r = (RestaurantsZomato) new Gson().fromJson(result.toString(), new TypeToken<RestaurantsZomato>(){}.getType());
JsonObject nearby_restaurants = result.get("nearby_restaurants").getAsJsonObject();
Log.d("RestDetails",nearby_restaurants.toString());
JsonObject rest = nearby_restaurants.get("1").getAsJsonObject();
Log.d("RestZomato", rest.toString());
JsonObject details = rest.get("restaurant").getAsJsonObject();
Log.d("RestZomato", details.toString());
RestaurantDetails ad = new Gson().fromJson(details, new TypeToken<RestaurantDetails>(){}.getType());
Set<Map.Entry<String, JsonElement>> objects = nearby_restaurants.entrySet();
for (Map.Entry<String, JsonElement> entry : objects) {
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "/" + entry.getValue());
if (entry.getValue() != null) {
RestaurantDetails rd = new Gson().fromJson(entry.getValue(), RestaurantDetails.class);
Log.d("simpletest",rd.getLocation().getAddress());
sTrips.add(rd);
}
}
adapter = new RestaurantAdapter(sTrips);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
}
});
}
where sTrips is an object of type RestaurantDetails. I'm getting an exception in the line sTrips.add(rd) since rd is null. However I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Please help!
The stacktrace is as follows:

UPDATE The error is the line Log.d("simpletest",rd.getLocation().getAddress());
I have debugged it and found that the value of rd is indeed null. Here is an image showing the debug
Actually you are reading a values of "1"/"2", while you suppose to read value of restaurant inside for loop. check the answer.
JsonObject rest = nearby_restaurants.get("1").getAsJsonObject();
// Log.d("RestZomato", rest.toString());
JsonObject details = rest.get("restaurant").getAsJsonObject();
// Log.d("RestZomato", details.toString());
RestaurantDetails ad = new Gson().fromJson(details, new TypeToken<RestaurantDetails>() {}.getType());
Set<Map.Entry<String, JsonElement>> objects = nearby_restaurants.entrySet();
for (Map.Entry<String, JsonElement> entry : objects) {
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "/" + entry.getValue());
//entry.getValue() is the value of key "1"
JsonObject ob=entry.getValue().getAsJsonObject();
//you was reading value of "1" while you are suppose to read value of "restaurant"
//get value from "restaurant" object
if (ob != null) {
//RestaurantDetails is created to read value of "restaurant"
String restaurant=ob.get("restaurant").getAsJsonObject().toString();
RestaurantDetails rd = new Gson().fromJson(restaurant, RestaurantDetails.class);
System.out.println("Name "+rd.name);
System.out.println(rd.getLocation().address);
}
