        lv.setAdapter(adapter);
        }

   }
   }

here is my logcat msg

12-15 14:25:26.092 549-962/com.example.zass.broccoli E/TypeMenu: Response from url: connection successful[{"id":"1","type":"pizza"}, {"id":"8","type":"Special Offer"},{"id":"2","type":"Pasta"},{"id":"7","type":"Soup"},{"id":"6","type":"Beverages"},{"id":"5","type":"Breakfast"},{"id":"3","type":"Lasagna"},{"id":"4","type":"Salad"}] 12-15 14:25:26.092 549-962/com.example.zass.broccoli E/TypeMenu: Json parsing error: Value connection of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject

this is the output from url which i wanted in my listview
    [{"id":"1","type":"pizza"},{"id":"8","type":"Special Offer"},       {"id":"6","type":"Beverages"},{"id":"5","type":"Breakfast"},  {"id":"3","type":"Lasagna"},{"id":"4","type":"Salad"}]



  here is my json file which works fine on server
    <?php 
    include ('config.php');
   $id = $_GET['id'];
   $sql = mysqli_query($conn,"SELECT * FROM menu_type ");
    $i=0;
    while($result = mysqli_fetch_array($sql))
    {
      $arr[$i]['id']= $result['id'];
       $arr[$i]['type']= $result['type'];
      }
       echo json_encode($arr);


       ?>

here is my list_item.xml

 <LinearLayout    

     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >



    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/id"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/type"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

     </LinearLayout>

Solution

  • Apply this code

    JSONArray jsonArry = new JSONArray(jsonStr);
    for (int i = 0; i < jsonArry.length(); i++) {
       JSONObject c = jsonArry.getJSONObject(i);
       String id = c.getString("id");
       String type = c.getString("type");
       HashMap<String, String> contact = new HashMap<>();
    
       contact.put("id", id);
       contact.put("name", type);
       contactList.add(contact);
    }
    

    Change below code

    ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(
                TypeMenu.this, contactList,
                R.layout.list_item, new String[]{"id", "type"}, new int[]  {R.id.id,
                R.id.type});  
    

    with

    ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(
                TypeMenu.this, contactList,
                R.layout.list_item, new String[]{"id", "name"}, new int[]  {R.id.id,
                R.id.type});
