reading instagram api

**izildop** · July 9th, 2019, 10:25 AM

Step by step I'm getting closer. My api from instagram get read out in the run section when I check it, but then in the end it says: at data of type org.json.JSONObject cannot be converted to JSONArray
Anyone what is going wrong?

If someone can help me with this, I would be really gratefull because I'm new to api reading and I'm also building an app where the data would be loaded in a gridview probably with the retrofit library.
This is one of the biggest threshold right now that is holding me back to contineu with my app building.

buttonParse.setonclickListener(new View.onclickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onclick(View v) {
                jsonParse();
            }
        });
 
private void jsonParse() {
        String url = "https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/?access_token=2086453534.15c5d2e.8a4c8d77992444459faf6e7f98005a4e\n";
 
        JsonObjectRequest request = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, url, null,
                new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
                        try {
                            JSONArray jsonArray = response.getJSONArray("data");
                            for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
                                JSONObject data = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
 
                                String firstName = data.getString("id");
                                String username = data.getString("username");
                                String profile_picture = data.getString("profile_picture");
 
                                mTextViewResult.append(firstName + ", " + username + ", " + profile_picture + "\n\n");
                            }
                        } catch (JSONException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }
                }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
            @Override
            public void onerrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                error.printStackTrace();
            }
        });
        mQueue.add(request);
    }

data of type org.json.JSONObject cannot be converted to JSONArray

At What statement does that error message happen?
Can you post the error log that shows where the code was executing?

api reading

Can you post the link to the API doc you are having problems with?

There is something wrong with

this line: new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
this line: JSONArray jsonArray = response.getJSONArray("data");

If I'm right I need to turn the jsonarray in jsonobject something like that?

Logcat:
As you can see it is reading the api if I'm right, https://imgur.com/qeYKGtv
but it is not displaying the strings on the screen.

**Norm** · July 9th, 2019, 03:37 PM

  JSONArray jsonArray = response.getJSONArray("data");

Do you have a link to the API doc that defines how the getJSONArray method is defined and what it does?
Your code tries to assign what it returns to a JSONArray object. What is the method defined to return?

**izildop** · July 11th, 2019, 06:23 AM

You mean the information that I try to read out? I use postman, I put my instagram API and then I get this.

**Norm** · July 11th, 2019, 07:04 AM

No, I was asking about the API doc for the class that contains the getJSONArray method. For example like this link to the String class's concat method:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/doc...a.lang.String-

That API doc shows the concat method takes a String as argument and returns a String.

To see what class object is returned, print out what is returned by the getClass method:

   System.out.println( response.getJSONArray("data").getClass()); // show class

**izildop** · July 11th, 2019, 02:02 PM

A little bit hard for me to understand what you looking for, I'm a little bit noob srry for that.
I tried to read out with the systemln but I don't saw it back it the logcat or run.

Anyway right click I went to the supermethod where to code is documented, idk if thats what you asking for:

package com.android.volley;
 
/**
 * Encapsulates a parsed response for delivery.
 *
 * @param <T> Parsed type of this response
 */
public class Response<T> {
 
    /** Callback interface for delivering parsed responses. */
    public interface Listener<T> {
        /** Called when a response is received. */
        void onResponse(T response);
    }
 
    /** Callback interface for delivering error responses. */
    public interface ErrorListener {
        /**
         * Callback method that an error has been occurred with the
         * provided error code and optional user-readable message.
         */
        void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error);
    }
 
    /** Returns a successful response containing the parsed result. */
    public static <T> Response<T> success(T result, Cache.Entry cacheEntry) {
        return new Response<T>(result, cacheEntry);
    }
 
    /**
     * Returns a failed response containing the given error code and an optional
     * localized message displayed to the user.
     */
    public static <T> Response<T> error(VolleyError error) {
        return new Response<T>(error);
    }
 
    /** Parsed response, or null in the case of error. */
    public final T result;
 
    /** Cache metadata for this response, or null in the case of error. */
    public final Cache.Entry cacheEntry;
 
    /** Detailed error information if <code>errorCode != OK</code>. */
    public final VolleyError error;
 
    /** True if this response was a soft-expired one and a second one MAY be coming. */
    public boolean intermediate = false;
 
    /**
     * Returns whether this response is considered successful.
     */
    public boolean isSuccess() {
        return error == null;
    }
 
 
    private Response(T result, Cache.Entry cacheEntry) {
        this.result = result;
        this.cacheEntry = cacheEntry;
        this.error = null;
    }
 
    private Response(VolleyError error) {
        this.result = null;
        this.cacheEntry = null;
        this.error = error;
    }
}

**Norm** · July 11th, 2019, 02:26 PM

what you looking for

I am looking for the API documentation for the getJSONArray method. Did you see the link I provided for the concat method?
I am looking for a link like that that refers to the API doc for the getJSONArray method.

Did you try what I suggested: Add a statement to the code to print out what data type is returned by the getJSONArray method?

                   public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
                        System.out.println("class="+ response.getJSONArray("data").getClass()); // show returned class
                        try {
                            JSONArray jsonArray = response.getJSONArray("data");

**izildop** · July 11th, 2019, 03:22 PM

This is what is printed out, the same thing like before:

**Norm** · July 11th, 2019, 03:39 PM

The posted error message is missing the first lines that show what the error was.

What was printed by this statement that I asked you to add?

                  System.out.println("class="+ response.getJSONArray("data").getClass()); // show returned class

Thanks for the link to the API doc. The API doc for the method says the method:
Throws JSONException if the mapping doesn't exist or is not a JSONArray.

**izildop** · July 12th, 2019, 03:07 AM

The error that I gave you above.

What in my code do I need to change to make it work?

**Norm** · July 12th, 2019, 05:23 AM

It would help if you copied ALL of the error message and pasted it here all together, not in separate posts.
Also be sure to add the print statement I suggested that shows the class of the object returned by the get method.

Where is the print out from the print statement I asked you to add to the code? I don't see it in the logcat.

What statements are at line 92 and at line 110 and at line 96?

**izildop** · July 12th, 2019, 08:29 AM

You see at I/System: under here is the method!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I specifically made it this way so you can this that under that line is the method print you asked for.

Look carefully a little bit at the mid/bottomside.

**Norm** · July 12th, 2019, 08:42 AM

under that line is the method print you asked for.

Does that mean the print statement is causing the exception?

The API doc for the getJSONArray method says the method:

Throws JSONException if the mapping doesn't exist or is not a JSONArray.

That says the getJSONArray method will throw the exception if the mapping does not exist or is not a JSONArray..

--- Update ---

What statements are at line 92 and at line 110 and at line 96?
Please post the code with labels showing those lines.
