I removed html from the php file as suggested by Kostya Vasilyev and
changed the approach to retrieve the information. The new Android code
is as follows:
========================
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
BufferedReader in = null;
try {
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet();
request.setURI(new URI("http://www.onyoursixinc.com/
grabitgood.php"));
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
in = new BufferedReader (new
InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("");
String line = "";
String NL = System.getProperty("line.separator");
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + NL);
}
in.close();
String page = sb.toString();
System.out.println(page);
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (in != null) {
try {
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
//parse json data
try{
JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(result);
for(int i=0;i<jArray.length();i++){
JSONObject json_data =
jArray.getJSONObject(i);
Log.i("log_tag","org_id:"+json_data.getInt("id")+
", orgname:
"+json_data.getString("orgname")+
", orgcity:
"+json_data.getString("orgcity")+
",
orgstate:"+json_data.getString("orgstate")
);
}
}catch(JSONException e){
Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data "+e.toString());
}
}
=====================
from my LOGCAT I can see I am getting the correct select response but
it looks like I am now picking up the html tags from the connect.php
file ince I use
require ("connect.php"); The LOGCAT now shows me the following:
================
10-12 17:37:41.320: INFO/System.out(218): <html><head><title>Find
Organizations</title></head><body style="background-
color:#33990f"><body>
10-12 17:37:41.330: INFO/System.out(218):
[{"org_id":"39575","orgname":"ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION - VIRGINIA
CHAPTER","orgcity":"RICHMOND","orgstate":"VA"}]
10-12 17:37:41.350: ERROR/log_tag(218): Error parsing data
org.json.JSONException: A JSONArray text must start with '[' at
character 0 of

com.oys.gfa.acecapper/.SelectOrgs: 40958 ms (total 40958 ms)
I am getting closer but still "no cigar". I don't know how to get rid
of all the HTML since I will actually need to have the user enter a
city and state and then "down select" from the response. The php file
I am using is a hard coded SELECT since I figured dealing with JSON
would be the more difficult problem to tackle.
Thanks,
