I have a
contactList = new ArrayList<>(); where I store information in this format: "name", value_for_name.
I populate my contactList inside this function:
protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
HttpHandler sh = new HttpHandler();
// Making a request to url and getting response
String jsonStr = sh.makeServiceCall(url);
Log.e(TAG, "Response from url: " + jsonStr);
if (jsonStr != null) {
try {
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
// Getting JSON Array node
JSONArray contacts = jsonObj.getJSONArray("results");
// looping through All Results
for (int i = 0; i < contacts.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = contacts.getJSONObject(i);
String icon = c.getString("icon");
String id = c.getString("id");
String name = c.getString("name");
// tmp hash map for single contact
HashMap<String, String> contact = new HashMap<>();
// adding each child node to HashMap key => value
// contact.put("id", id);
contact.put("name", name);
// contact.put("email", icon);
// adding contact to contact list
contactList.add(contact);
}
} catch (final JSONException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Json parsing error: " + e.getMessage());
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Json parsing error: " + e.getMessage(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
}
});
}
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "Couldn't get json from server.");
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Couldn't get json from server. Check LogCat for possible errors!",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
}
});
}
return null;
}
Open in new window
The problem is that when I try to print a value:
System.out.println(contactList.get(position));
Open in new window
The output is in this format:
{name="Foo"}
I only want to print
Foo I tried also with:
System.out.println(String.valueOf(contactList.get(position)));
Open in new window
but I always get the whole string:
{name="Foo"}
Can you help me, please? Do I really need to parse the string?
