  1. POEmpty JSON response when trying to parse JSONObject with one JSONArray
    text
    copied!<p>I got code that gets <code>JSONArrays</code>, but however when I try to get <code>JSONObject</code> that contains only one <code>JSONArray</code> it gives me empty <code>JSONArray</code>.</p> <p>For example if I need to get data from this <code>JSONObject</code>:</p> <pre><code>{"events":[{"start":1357714800,"end":1357736400,"name":"Example1","description":""}]} </code></pre> <p>I get <code>{"events":[]}</code> as <code>JSONObject</code>, <code>[]</code> meaning that it doesn't contain any JSONArrays. Also length of <code>JSONObject</code> is in this case 0. But it doesn't throw any kind of <code>Exceptions</code>.</p> <p>but if <code>JSONObject</code> contains multiple <code>JSONArrays</code> like this:</p> <pre><code>{"events":[{"start":1357714800,"end":1357736400,"name":"Example1","description":""},{"start":1357714600,"end":1357736500,"name":"Example2","description":""},{"start":1357514800,"end":1357536400,"name":"Example3","description":""}]} </code></pre> <p>then my code works perfect.</p> <p>Here is the code I use to parse JSON:</p> <pre><code>private void getObjects(String url) throws JSONException, Exception { JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(new NetTask().execute(url).get()); JSONArray job1 = jsonObject.getJSONArray("events"); System.out.println(jsonObject.toString()); System.out.println("JOB1 LENGTH: "+job1.length()); for (int i = 0; i &lt; job1.length(); i++) { JSONObject jsonEvent = job1.getJSONObject(i); int start = jsonEvent.getInt("start"); int end = jsonEvent.getInt("end"); String name = jsonEvent.getString("name"); String description = jsonEvent.getString("description"); } } public class NetTask extends AsyncTask&lt;String, Integer, String&gt; { @Override protected String doInBackground(String... params) { String jsonText = ""; BufferedReader reader = null; try { URL url = new URL(params[0]); reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream())); StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(); int read; char[] chars = new char[1024]; while ((read = reader.read(chars)) != -1) { buffer.append(chars, 0, read); } jsonText = buffer.toString(); } catch (MalformedURLException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } finally { if (reader != null) { try { reader.close(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } } return jsonText; } } </code></pre> <p>is there something wrong that I am missing or is this normal behaviour?</p>
