I've done it using Gson (by Google).
Add the following line to your module's build.gradle:
dependencies {
// ...
// Note that `compile` will be deprecated. Use `implementation` instead.
// See https://stackoverflow.com/a/44409111 for more info
implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.2'

ContactModel.java:
public class ContactModel {
public String id;
public String name;
public String email;
}
Code for converting a JSON string to ArrayList<Model>:
Note: You have to import java.lang.reflect.Type;:
// Top of file
import java.lang.reflect.Type;
// ...
private void parseJSON() {
Gson gson = new Gson();
Type type = new TypeToken<List<ContactModel>>(){}.getType();
List<ContactModel> contactList = gson.fromJson(jsonString, type);
for (ContactModel contact : contactList){
Log.i("Contact Details", contact.id + "-" + contact.name + "-" + contact.email);
}
}
Hope this will help you.
For anyone else who might need this:
String jsonString = "[\"string1\",\"string2\",\"string3\"]";
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
List<String> strings = mapper.readValue(jsonString, List.class);
As ryzhman said, you are able to cast it to a List, but only of the object (JSONArray in ryzhman's case) extends the ArrayList class. You don't need an entire method for this. You can simply:
List<String> listOfStrings = new JSONArray(data);
Or if you are using IBM's JSONArray (com.ibm.json.java.JSONArray):
List<String> listOfStrings = (JSONArray) jsonObject.get("key");
Could be a complex way to do it, but since you wanted an ArrayList>, here we are
public static void main(String[] args) {
String response = "{\"balance\":1000,\n" +
" \"lastliability\":2000,\"profitarray\":[[1,2,3],[67,88,99]],\"previous\":[99,88]}";
JSONObject res=new JSONObject(response);
JSONArray array = res.getJSONArray("profitarray");
ArrayList<JSONArray> profitList = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < array.length(); i++){
profitList.add(array.getJSONArray(i));
}
ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> finalList = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayList<Integer> list1 = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < profitList.size(); i++){
JSONArray array1 = profitList.get(i);
list1 = new ArrayList<>();
for (int j = 0; j < array1.length(); j++){
list1.add(array1.getInt(j));
}
finalList.add(list1);
}
}
The ArrayList finalList contains the final output.
The key thing is to create a Java class that model your response. See this example using Google Gson.
Response class:
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Response {
// int balance;
// int lastLiability;
// ArrayList<Integer> previous;
ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> profitarray;
}
Gson example:
import com.google.gson.Gson;
public class GsonExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String json = "{\"balance\":1000,\"lastliability\":2000,\"profitarray\":[[1,2,3],[67,88,99]],\"previous\":[99,88]}";
Response response = new Gson().fromJson(json, Response.class);
System.out.println(response.profitarray);
}
}
I guess that you should add accessors, equals/hashCode and all that noise — but you get the idea.
I know the question is about converting JSON String to Java Array, but I would like to also answer about how to convert the JSON String to an ArrayList using the Gson Library.
Since I spend a good amount of time in solving this, I hope my solution may help others.
My JSON string looks similar to this one -
I had an object named StockHistory, and I wanted to convert this JSON into an ArrayList of StockHistory.
This is how my StockHistory class looked -
class StockHistory {
Date date;
Double open;
Double high;
Double low;
Double close;
Double adjClose;
Double volume;
}
The code that I used to convert the JSON Array to the ArrayList of StockHistory is as follows -
Gson gson = new Gson();
Type listType = new TypeToken< ArrayList<StockHistory> >(){}.getType();
List<StockHistory> history = gson.fromJson(reader, listType);
Now if you are reading your JSON from a file, the reader's initialization would be -
Reader reader = new FileReader(fileName);
and if you are just converting a string to JSON object then, the reader's initialization would simply be -
String reader = "{ // json String }";
Hope that helps. Cheers!!!
You can create a java class with entities are: file_name, file_ext, sr_no, status, rev, locking in string type.
public class TestJson {
private String file_name, file_ext, sr_no, status, rev, locking;
//get & set
}
}
Then you call:
public static void main(String[] args) {
String json = your json string;
TestJson[] respone = new Gson().fromJson(json, TestJson[].class);
for (TestJson s : respone) {
System.out.println("File name: " + s.getFile_name());
}
}
So, you have a list of object you want.
JSONArray att = new JSONArray(YourList);
You can use Gson to convert List<String> to JSON
List<String> listStrings = new ArrayList<String>();
listStrings.add("a");
listStrings.add("b");
Gson objGson = new Gson();
System.out.println(objGson.toJson(listStrings));
Output
["a","b"]
You may use TypeToken to load the json string into a custom object.
logs = gson.fromJson(br, new TypeToken<List<JsonLog>>(){}.getType());
Documentation:
Represents a generic type T.
Java doesn't yet provide a way to represent generic types, so this class does. Forces clients to create a subclass of this class which enables retrieval the type information even at runtime.
For example, to create a type literal for
List<String>, you can create an empty anonymous inner class:
TypeToken<List<String>> list = new TypeToken<List<String>>() {};This syntax cannot be used to create type literals that have wildcard parameters, such as
Class<?>orList<? extends CharSequence>.
Kotlin:
If you need to do it in Kotlin you can do it like this:
val myType = object : TypeToken<List<JsonLong>>() {}.type
val logs = gson.fromJson<List<JsonLong>>(br, myType)
Or you can see this answer for various alternatives.
Your JSON sample is:
{
"status": "ok",
"comment": "",
"result": {
"id": 276,
"firstName": "mohamed",
"lastName": "hussien",
"players": [
"player 1",
"player 2",
"player 3",
"player 4",
"player 5"
]
}
so if you want to save arraylist of modules in your SharedPrefrences so :
1- will convert your returned arraylist for json format using this method
public static String toJson(Object jsonObject) {
return new Gson().toJson(jsonObject);
}
2- Save it in shared prefreneces
PreferencesUtils.getInstance(context).setString("players", toJson((.....ArrayList you want to convert.....)));
3- to retrieve it at any time get JsonString from Shared preferences like that
String playersString= PreferencesUtils.getInstance(this).getString("players");
4- convert it again to array list
public static Object fromJson(String jsonString, Type type) {
return new Gson().fromJson(jsonString, type);
}
ArrayList<String> playersList= (ArrayList<String>) fromJson(playersString,
new TypeToken<ArrayList<String>>() {
}.getType());
this solution also doable if you want to parse ArrayList of Objects Hope it's help you by using Gson Library .
Take a look at this tutorial. Also you can parse above json like :
JSONArray arr = new JSONArray(yourJSONresponse);
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
for(int i = 0; i < arr.length(); i++){
list.add(arr.getJSONObject(i).getString("name"));
}
Simplest and correct code is:
public static String[] toStringArray(JSONArray array) {
if(array==null)
return new String[0];
String[] arr=new String[array.length()];
for(int i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {
arr[i]=array.optString(i);
}
return arr;
}
Using List<String> is not a good idea, as you know the length of the array.
Observe that it uses arr.length in for condition to avoid calling a method, i.e. array.length(), on each loop.
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray)jsonObject;
if (jsonArray != null) {
int len = jsonArray.length();
for (int i=0;i<len;i++){
list.add(jsonArray.get(i).toString());
}
}
If you don't already have a JSONArray object, call
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonArrayString);
Then simply loop through that, building your own array. This code assumes it's an array of strings, it shouldn't be hard to modify to suit your particular array structure.
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i=0; i<jsonArray.length(); i++) {
list.add( jsonArray.getString(i) );
}
Using Gson
Gson gson = new Gson();
ArrayList<Object> listFromGson = gson.fromJson("json string",
new TypeToken<ArrayList<Object>>() {}.getType());
Using Jackson
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
ArrayList<Object> listFromJackson = mapper.readValue("json string",
new TypeReference<ArrayList<Object>>(){});
If you could define a pojo as
public class Example {
private Integer id;
private String title;
private String description;
private Integer userId;
// setters / getters
}
Then
ArrayList<Example> listFromGson = gson.fromJson("json string",
new TypeToken<ArrayList<Example>>() {}.getType());
ArrayList<Example> listFromJackson = mapper.readValue("json string",
new TypeReference<ArrayList<Example>>(){});
Also, you should prefer using List instead of ArrayList.
You need to declare a pojo
class Data{
String id;
String title;
String description;
String userId;
//Generate setter an getter
}
The iterate over json like following:
JSONArray jsonArr = new JSONArray("[your JSON Stirng]");
List<Data> dataList = new ArrayList<Data>();
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArr.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObj = jsonArr.getJSONObject(i);
Data data = new Data();
data.setId(jsonObj.getString("id"));
data.setTitle(jsonObj.getString("title"));
data.setDescription(jsonObj.getString("description"));
data.setUserId(jsonObj.getString("user_id"));
dataList.add(data);
}
You also need json jar. You can download from here
You are asking Jackson to parse a StudentList. Tell it to parse a List (of students) instead. Since List is generic you will typically use a TypeReference
List<Student> participantJsonList = mapper.readValue(jsonString, new TypeReference<List<Student>>(){});
For any one who looks for answer yet:
1.Add jackson-databind library to your build tools like Gradle or Maven
2.in your Code:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
List<Student> studentList = new ArrayList<>();
studentList = Arrays.asList(mapper.readValue(jsonStringArray, Student[].class));
You can use the GSON library to accomplish this.
ArrayList<String> mylist = new ArrayList<String> ();
mylist.add("abc");
mylist.add("cfd");
mylist.add("ert");
mylist.add("fg");
mylist.add("ujk");
String json = new Gson().toJson(mylist);
You can refer to the GSON User Guide for more support.
JSONArray jsArray = new JSONArray(mylist);
Or
Gson gson = new Gson();
String jsonArray = gson.toJson(mylist);
Get java-json.jar and Gson.jar here
Something like this:
ArrayList<String> jsonStringToArray(String jsonString) throws JSONException {
ArrayList<String> stringArray = new ArrayList<String>();
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonString);
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
stringArray.add(jsonArray.getString(i));
}
return stringArray;
}
You could try something like:
new JSONArray(jsonString)
or if it is a property:
jsonObject.getJSONArray(propertyName)
