Setting Json Response In Listview

if (status == 200) { String result = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()); Log.d('Response', result); ArrayAdapter < String > adapter = new ArrayAdapter <

Solution 1:

How would i set my name parameter in the listView.

At a glance. Third parameter of ArrayAdapter should be collection but you are passing only simple String. According to your JSON i recommend you:

• Create own object that will represent Person with properties(name, age, etc.)
• Parse JSON and create collection of persons
• Set collection to ListAdapter

Example:

publicclassPerson {

    privateString name;
    ...

    // getters and setters@OverridepublicStringtoString() {
       returnthis.name;
    }
}

Then, you need to parse JSON and get proper data:

List<Person> persons = newArrayList<Person>();
Person person = null;
JSONObject root = newJSONObject(sourceString);
JSONArray appointments = root.getJSONArray("Appointments");
JSONObject child = null;
for (int i = 0; i < appointments.length(); i++) {
   child = appointments.getJSONObject(i);
   if (child != null)
      person = newPerson();
      person.setName(child.getString("Name"));
      persons.add(person);
   }
}

Then initialise ListAdapter:

newArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(), layout, persons);

and now you got it.

Note:

Reason why i'm overriding toString() method is that since you are using default ArrayAdapter with build-in Android layout each object in your List will be converted to String and will be shown in ListView but if i don't override toString() it won't return person's name but string representation of object that is human-unreadable string.

Solution 2:

1. result is a String containing the entire response. You need to parse or split that string into the items that you want.
2. You need to give your adapter the items (either as a list or an array). Right now you've created an adapter but haven't provided it any data via the constructor or any setter.

I suggest you read more about ListViews and Adapters on the Android developers site.
