"JSON Data Fetching And Parsing From URL" with Android Studio problem.

Please help I'm trying to parse the following JSON file but am not able to do so: api.myjson.com/bins/ z5x5e

Is there anything wrong with my code?

Source Code:

package com.abhishekpanwar.receivedatajson;

import android.os.AsyncTask;

import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

public class fetchData extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void> {
String data ="";
String dataParsed = "";
String singleParsed ="";
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {
try {
URL url = new URL("https://api.myjson.com/bins/ z5x5e");
HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
InputStream inputStream = httpURLConnection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
String line = "";
while(line != null){
line = bufferedReader.readLine();
data = data + line;
}

JSONArray JA = new JSONArray(data);
for(int i =0 ;i < JA.length(); i++){
JSONObject JO = (JSONObject) JA.get(i);
singleParsed =
"Type:" + JO.get("type") +
"Title:" + JO.get("title") +
"Venue:" + JO.get("venue") +
"Location:" + JO.get("location") +
"Time:" + JO.get("time") +
"Description:" + JO.get("desc") +
"More:" + JO.get("more");

dataParsed = dataParsed + singleParsed;

}

} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

return null;
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
super.onPostExecute(aVoid);

MainActivity.data.setText(this.dataParsed);

}
}

Explanation / Answer

Problem is that you are trying to convert a json object using JSONArray and object is not array.

You api returnes

And you are doing

data = // response of API

Because data is not an array because it is not starting with [ and ending with ]

You have to make it as JSON Object like this

This will print
