parsing json with rhomobile

i am trying to parse a JSON structure into a database using rhonobile and my code is below;

def GetTopGainers
    Rho::AsyncHttp.get(
      :url => 'http://www.xyz.com/xyz',
      :callback => (url_for :action => :httpget_callback),
      :callback_param => "" )

    redirect :action => :viewhttp
  end

  def httpget_callback
  $httpresult = @params['body'][0].inspect
  @params['body'].each do |dailygainers|
  mygainer = Topgainers.new
  mygainer.gainers = Topgainers["dailygainers"]["gainers"]
  mygainer.date = Topgainers["dailygainers"]["date"]
  mygainer.open = Topgainers["dailygainers"]["Open"]
  mygainer.close = Topgainers["dailygainers"]["Close"]
  mygainer.save
  end
  WebView.refresh
  end

The problem is that nothing is bei g saved to the database.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • If your web service is not setting the proper headers, you may be getting string data back instead of json data. You would use JSON.parse(@params['body']) to convert the string to json.

    Attaching the rholog.txt would help to see if this is the case.
