Convert String into json array object...android

Question

I get from the server array of objects, and by this code I convert it to json:

public static ArrayList<bussListCubic> parseBussinessArray(String result) {
    ArrayList<bussListCubic> arr = new ArrayList<bussListCubic>();
        try {
          JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(result);
          JSONObject json_data = null;
          for (int i = 0; i < jArray.length(); i++) {
             json_data = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
         bussListCubic userInfo = parseBussListCubic(json_data);
         arr.add(userInfo);
      }
        } catch (JSONException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}
return arr;

}

Some times the app crashed and this is the error:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at
org.json.JSONTokener.nextCleanInternal(JSONTokener.java:116) at
org.json.JSONTokener.nextValue(JSONTokener.java:94) at
org.json.JSONArray.<init>(JSONArray.java:87) at
org.json.JSONArray.<init>(JSONArray.java:103)

it is also point that the error with this line : JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(result): line #4 in the above code...what does this error mean ?

thank you

The error is the most common error there is. It means that something is null, and you're trying to use that object as if it wasn't. — keyser

Please Check the json before looping it. Check it if it contain data then only use it. — user2323471

Because sometimes it's null, and sometimes it isn't. There's nothing magic going on :p — keyser

The crash is caused by an invalid String result

print the result passed to parseBussinessArray method and see what is its value when crash happens

If you use a try catch the error is masked, for this reason the app doesn't crash but doesn't show the values, with wrong input

I don't know the way you pass result to this method but surely the issue is before, and when result is null cause this problem. You should manage the problem before invoking parseBussinessArray, adding the appropriate checks
