I have android application that called information and show it as a list.
I have a spinner when you choose the date from the spinner you get the information related to that date.
In the app first load it calls automatically today information.
this is the code I use in my main activity to create my spinner and fill it with elements and handle the clicks on each item:
// Spinner element spinner = (Spinner) v.findViewById(R.id.spinner); // Spinner click listener spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() { public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) { // On selecting a spinner item //String item = parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString(); switch(position){ case 3: if (JsonUtils.isNetworkAvailable(getActivity())) { list.clear(); new MyTask().execute(Config.SERVER_URL + "/banko_api.php?d_o=-1"); } else { Toast.makeText(getActivity(), getResources().getString(R.string.failed_connect_network), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } break; case 4: if (JsonUtils.isNetworkAvailable(getActivity())) { list.clear(); new MyTask().execute(Config.SERVER_URL + "/banko_api.php?d_o=0"); } else { Toast.makeText(getActivity(), getResources().getString(R.string.failed_connect_network), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } break; case 5: if (JsonUtils.isNetworkAvailable(getActivity())) { list.clear(); new MyTask().execute(Config.SERVER_URL + "/banko_api.php?d_o=1"); } else { Toast.makeText(getActivity(), getResources().getString(R.string.failed_connect_network), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } break; default: if (JsonUtils.isNetworkAvailable(getActivity())) { list.clear(); new MyTask().execute(Config.SERVER_URL + "/banko_api.php?d_o=0"); } else { Toast.makeText(getActivity(), getResources().getString(R.string.failed_connect_network), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } break; } } @Override public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) { } }); Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); Date today = calendar.getTime(); calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, -1); Date yesterday = calendar.getTime(); calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 1); Date tomorrow = calendar.getTime(); DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM EEE"); String todayAsString = dateFormat.format(today); String tomorrowAsString = dateFormat.format(tomorrow); String yesterdayAsString = dateFormat.format(yesterday); // Spinner Drop down elements List<String> categories = new ArrayList<String>(); categories.add(yesterdayAsString); categories.add(todayAsString); categories.add(tomorrowAsString); // Creating adapter for spinner ArrayAdapter<String> dataAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getContext(), R.layout.spinner_item, categories); dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.spinner_dropdown_item); // attaching data adapter to spinner spinner.setAdapter(dataAdapter); spinner.setSelection(4); The problem : first load of the app is calling the data of today (which is the default choice in my spinner) without any problem. if i choose another element in the spinner it also calls the related data without problem. now if I want to select back today element in the spinner no data will be brought from the server even when the app at the start up it calls data from the same link and get it.
I get this message in my log : W/System.err: org.json.JSONException: Value [] of type org.json.JSONArray cannot be converted to JSONObject
The onPostExcute of my Asynktask contains this code:
@Override protected void onPostExecute(String result) { super.onPostExecute(result); if (null != progressDialog && progressDialog.isShowing()) { progressDialog.dismiss(); } if (null == result || result.length() == 0) { Toast.makeText(getActivity(), getResources().getString(R.string.failed_connect_network), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } else { try { Log.d("resultTT",result); JSONObject mainJson = new JSONObject(result); JSONArray jsonArray = mainJson.getJSONArray(JsonConfig.CATEGORY_ARRAY_NAME); JSONObject objJson = null; for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) { objJson = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i); ItemMatch objItem = new ItemMatch(); objItem.setMatchId(objJson.getString(JsonConfig.Match_ID)); objItem.setMatchTournamentName(objJson.getString(JsonConfig.Match_LEAGUE_NAME)); objItem.setMatchTime(objJson.getString(JsonConfig.Match_TIME)); objItem.setMatchStatus(objJson.getString(JsonConfig.Match_STATUS)); objItem.setMatchLocalTeamName(objJson.getString(JsonConfig.Match_LOCALTEAM_NAME)); objItem.setMatchVisitorTeamName(objJson.getString(JsonConfig.Match_VISITORTEAM_NAME)); objItem.setMatchLocalTeamGoals(objJson.getString(JsonConfig.Match_LOCALTEAM_GOALS)); objItem.setMatchVisitorTeamGoals(objJson.getString(JsonConfig.Match_VISITORTEAM_GOALS)); objItem.setMatchBestOddPercent(objJson.getString(JsonConfig.Match_BEST_ODD_PERCENT)); objItem.setMatchBestOddResult(objJson.getString(JsonConfig.Match_BEST_ODD_RESULT)); list.add(objItem); } } catch (JSONException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } for (int j = 0; j < list.size(); j++) { object = list.get(j); array_match_id.add(String.valueOf(object.getMatchId())); str_match_id = array_match_id.toArray(str_match_id); array_league_name.add(String.valueOf(object.getMatchTournamentName())); str_league_name = array_league_name.toArray(str_league_name); array_match_time.add(String.valueOf(object.getMatchTime())); str_match_time = array_match_time.toArray(str_match_time); array_match_status.add(String.valueOf(object.getMatchStatus())); str_match_status = array_match_status.toArray(str_match_status); array_match_localteam_name.add(object.getMatchLocalTeamName()); str_match_localteam_name = array_match_localteam_name.toArray(str_match_localteam_name); array_match_visitorteam_name.add(object.getMatchVisitorTeamName()); str_match_visitorteam_name = array_match_visitorteam_name.toArray(str_match_visitorteam_name); array_match_localteam_goals.add(object.getMatchLocalTeamGoals()); str_match_localteam_goals = array_match_localteam_goals.toArray(str_match_localteam_goals); array_match_visitorteam_goals.add(object.getMatchVisitorTeamGoals()); str_match_visitorteam_goals = array_match_visitorteam_goals.toArray(str_match_visitorteam_goals); array_match_best_odd_percent.add(object.getMatchBestOddPercent()); str_match_best_odd_percent = array_match_best_odd_percent.toArray(str_match_best_odd_percent); array_match_best_odd_result.add(object.getMatchBestOddResult()); str_match_best_odd_result = array_match_best_odd_result.toArray(str_match_best_odd_result); } setAdapterToListView(); } In the try section of this code u can see I make a log of the result to see what is coming from the server i just get this : D/resultTT: []
and as you see the try is inside the else section so in the if statement of this section i check if the result is null or empty ; but the code passes it and enter the else statement but still showing that the returned result array is empty.
I want some help to find the reason behind this empty returned array even it loads fine at the start up. why can not it get the information after I choose any element in the spinner and then come back to the default (today) element?
UPDATE : this is my php side-server api code
<?php include_once ('includes/variables.php'); DEFINE ('DB_HOST', $host); DEFINE ('DB_USER', $user); DEFINE ('DB_PASSWORD', $pass); DEFINE ('DB_NAME', $database); $mysqli = @mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD) OR die ('Could not connect to MySQL'); @mysql_select_db (DB_NAME) OR die ('Could not select the database'); ?> <?php mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); $date_offset = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET[d_o]); //$date_offset = 0; if(empty($date_offset) || $date_offset == "0") { $date_offset_value = "0"; $query="SELECT a.*, m.match_id, m.match_time, m.en_tournament_name FROM app_banko a inner join matches_of_comments m on m.match_id = a.match_id where a.date_offset = $date_offset_value limit 20"; $resouter = mysql_query($query); } else { $date_offset_value = $date_offset; $query="SELECT a.*, m.match_id, m.match_time, m.en_tournament_name FROM app_banko a inner join matches_of_comments m on m.match_id = a.match_id where a.date_offset = $date_offset_value limit 20"; $resouter = mysql_query($query); } $set = array(); $total_records = mysql_num_rows($resouter); if($total_records >= 1){ while ($link = mysql_fetch_array($resouter, MYSQL_ASSOC)){ $set['NewsApp'][] = $link; } } echo $val= str_replace('\\/', '/', json_encode($set)); ?> 5 Answers

It is possible that the value of the response argument from the onPostExecute method contains stringified JSONArray, not JSONObject.
You can always test this with:
try: JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(result); catch(JSONException e) { // String `result` is not an array. Parse it as a regular JSONObject. } Testing wheter string is an empty json array (depends on it's formatting, especially when it may contain some white characters) checking it's length might be a pretty bad idea.
It all depends how are determined an API endpoints that you are calling.
One more tip at the end. If you are planning to consume REST API I strongly recommend using:

Your result string is an empty array but not an empty string. The empty array is represented as the following string:
String result = "[]"; In that case result.length() is equal to 2.
When parsing JSON you need to know if the parsed object is of type Object or of type Array. The former one is wrapped with braces {}, the later one with square brackets [].
So the following line:
JSONObject mainJson = new JSONObject(result); Should probably be:
JSONArray mainJson = new JSONArray(result); But I cannot emphasize enough that you need to know what your API returns if you want to be able to parse it correctly.
EDIT:
Well, json_encode will have a hard time to guess whether it should create a JSON Array or a JSON Object out of the empty array that you created with $set = array();.
Adding objects to the array like you do in your loop makes it obvious for json_encode that it should create a JSON Object.
I don't know if you can force json_encode's behavior, but worst case you could check yourself if the array is empty and return "" or null if the array is empty.
$set = array(); $total_records = mysql_num_rows($resouter); if ($total_records >= 1) { while ($link = mysql_fetch_array($resouter, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { $set['NewsApp'][] = $link; } echo $val= str_replace('\\/', '/', json_encode($set)); } else { echo $val=""; } Answers 3
If you get an array in return when expecting an object, there might be something wrong with the request to the API. One way is to figure it out it set up Wireshark on the development machine to sniff and filter the traffic. Then you can see if your request is faulty.

please put a check result.isEmpty() in your try block condition may this could solve your problem.

you can not directly get response in string . it can use JSONObject and JSONArray.
