    <p>I'm trying to get JSON data from a website using the following code, but I get the error Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier at file:///android_asset/www/projectName.html:1 If I save the data from the website as a .json file I can access it fine, but not if I access it from the website. How do I make this work from the website?</p> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"&gt; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ $("button").click(function(){ $.get('http://example.ca/log_sheets.json', function(data) { alert('get performed'); var obj = eval ("(" + data + ")"); $("p").html(obj[0].log_sheet.activity_type); }); }); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Heading&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Display&lt;/p&gt; &lt;button&gt;Click me&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Sample of JSON data:</p> <pre><code>[{"log_sheet":{"activity_type":"Normal","activity_value":null,"carbs_value":25.0, ect... }}] </code></pre> <p>Code to run html page with phonegap:</p> <pre><code>package com.example.projectName; import android.os.Bundle; import android.app.Activity; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils; import org.apache.cordova.*; public class MainActivity extends DroidGap { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/projectName.html"); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu); return true; } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
