I am having trouble in running my Android app. It is a simple activity meant to get data from a remote database via HTTP.
I am getting these two errors in log cat:
Error parsing to json on getJarrayFromString(); org.json.JSONException: Value Database of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONArray.
And:
Error at fillproductlist(): java.lang.NullPointerException
I am not very good at Java/Android and this is first time I am asking this question here. I am unable to understand what layer of my app the problem might be in (my Java code, PHP, or database code)?
Code snapshot:
private void fillProductList() {
if (utils.isInternet()
&& CustomHttpClient.isAddressOk(Utils.LINK_PRODUCTS)) {
final int from = bid.size();
final int nr = 5;
long sqliteSize = db.size(mySqlDatabase.TABLE_BOOKS);
if (from == 0) {
// we add the post variables and values for the request
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("from", String
.valueOf(0).toString()));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("nr", String.valueOf(
nr).toString()));
} else {
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("from", String
.valueOf(from).toString()));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("nr", String.valueOf(
nr).toString()));
}
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("title", titleSearch));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("code", codeSearch));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("module", moduleSearch));
if (sortOrder != null)
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("order", sortOrder));
if (sortType != null)
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("by", sortType));
task = new RequestTask("books", postParameters);
task.setOnTaskCompleted(new OnTaskCompletedListener() {
public void onTaskStarted() {
if (!rlLoading.isShown()) {
rlLoading.startAnimation(fadeIn());
rlLoading.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
IS_PRODUCTS_TASK = true;
}
public void onTaskCompleted(String result) {
try {
if (result != "") {
// Enter the remote php link
// we convert the response into json array
jarray = utils.getJarrayFromString(result);
int mysqlSize = (jarray.getJSONObject(0)
.getInt("numRows"));
Log.i(DEBUG, "From " + from + " to " + mysqlSize);
if (from <= mysqlSize) {
int rows;
// we check to see if there is 0
if (jarray.length() > 0) {
Log.i(DEBUG,
"From "
+ from
+ " to "
+ Math.floor(mysqlSize / nr)
* nr);
if (from + 5 <= Math.floor(mysqlSize / nr)
* nr) {
rows = jarray.length();
} else {
rows = mysqlSize % nr + 1;
Utils.IS_ENDED_PRODUCT_LIST = true;
}
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

.getJSONObject(i);

if (!db.hasIDbooks(row.getInt("bid")))
db.createRowOnBooks(
row.getInt("bid"),
row.getString("bTitle"),
row.getString("bCode"),
row.getString("bPrice"),
row.getString("bDescription"),

Utils.PATH

row.getInt("bSpecialDiscount"),
row.getString("bDateAdded"));
Log.i(DEBUG,

}
new DownloadImages(list, bAdapter)
.execute();
}
}
postParameters.removeAll(postParameters);
} else {
Utils.IS_ENDED_PRODUCT_LIST = true;
if (rlLoading.isShown()) {

} catch (Exception e) {

task.execute();
} else {
// if we are not connected on internet or somehow the link would not work, then we will take the rows stored in sqlite db
if (db.size(mySqlDatabase.TABLE_BOOKS) > 0) {
Cursor cursor = db.getBookssRows(mySqlDatabase.TABLE_BOOKS);
cursor.moveToFirst();
while (!cursor.isAfterLast()) {
bid.add(cursor.getInt(cursor

getJarrayFromString(result). Add that to your question.
