Hi Everybody,

I am developing an android app, an ordering app. I want to send the details of items added to cart in a JSON format to a php page so as to process it there and return the result of the processing.
I am using Android studio.

The code is below

    protected String doInBackground(String... args) {

     String url = "mysite/mypage";

        JSONArray cart_items = new DatabaseHelper().getItemsAsJson() ;
        JSONArray pdet = new JSONArray();

        String JsonDATA ="";

        JSONObject jsonobj = new JSONObject();


        try {
            jsonobj.put("name", "Aneh");
            jsonobj.put("daddrs", "my address");
            jsonobj.put("dmob", "9990909090");
            jsonobj.put("dlocn", "Kochi");
            jsonobj.put("dlmark", "Stadium");
            jsonobj.put("uid", "313");
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        pdet.put(jsonobj);

        JSONObject JSONData = new JSONObject();
        try {
            JSONData.put("cart",cart_items);
            JSONData.put("pdet",pdet);
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

// structure of json

// {"pdet":[{"uid":"313","dlocn":"Kochi","dlmark":"Stadium","dmob":"9990909090","daddrs":"my address","name":"Aneh"}],"cart":[{"cr_itemname":"Domex Floor Cleaner 1 ltr","cr_itemrate":"0","cr_qty":"1","cr_offerrate":"0","cr_total":"100","cr_itemid":"1","cr_slno":"1"},{"cr_itemname":"Nestle EveryDay 400 gm","cr_itemrate":"0","cr_qty":"1","cr_offerrate":"0","cr_total":"100","cr_itemid":"1","cr_slno":"1"},{"cr_itemname":"Colgate Max Fresh Blue Gel 80 gm","cr_itemrate":"0","cr_qty":"1","cr_offerrate":"0","cr_total":"100","cr_itemid":"1","cr_slno":"1"},{"cr_itemname":"Nestle EveryDay","cr_itemrate":"0","cr_qty":"1","cr_offerrate":"0","cr_total":"100","cr_itemid":"1","cr_slno":"1"},{"cr_itemname":"Kelloggs Cornflakes 475 Grams","cr_itemrate":"0","cr_qty":"1","cr_offerrate":"0","cr_total":"100","cr_itemid":"1","cr_slno":"1"},{"cr_itemname":"Ariel 24 Hrs Fresh 500 gm","cr_itemrate":"0","cr_qty":"1","cr_offerrate":"0","cr_total":"100","cr_itemid":"1","cr_slno":"1"},{"cr_itemname":"Colgate Max Fresh Blue Gel 80 gm","cr_itemrate":"0","cr_qty":"1","cr_offerrate":"0","cr_total":"100","cr_itemid":"1","cr_slno":"1"},{"cr_itemname":"Domex Floor Cleaner 1 ltr","cr_itemrate":"0","cr_qty":"1","cr_offerrate":"0","cr_total":"100","cr_itemid":"1","cr_slno":"1"},{"cr_itemname":"Ariel 24 Hrs Fresh 500 gm","cr_itemrate":"0","cr_qty":"1","cr_offerrate":"0","cr_total":"100","cr_itemid":"1","cr_slno":"1"},{"cr_itemname":"Colgate Max Fresh Red Gel 80 gm","cr_itemrate":"0","cr_qty":"1","cr_offerrate":"0","cr_total":"100","cr_itemid":"1","cr_slno":"1"},{"cr_itemname":"Boost 200 gm ","cr_itemrate":"0","cr_qty":"1","cr_offerrate":"0","cr_total":"100","cr_itemid":"1","cr_slno":"1"}]}

    // return JSON String
    return jObj;

}

}

// php code - saveorderapp.php

$shpcart = $_POST['shpcart'];

  $shpcart1   = json_decode($shpcart);


if(!empty($shpcart1)) 
{
    $response["success"] = 1;
    echo json_encode($response);
}
else
{
    $response["success"] = 0;
    echo json_encode($response);

}

As I am new to Android I cannot figure out where is the problem, is it in android or php code. In the php code I want to receive the json as an array so as I can loop through it and insert each item. Please help it is really urgent.

Thanks in advance!!!

I would recommends to use jsonformatter.org and codebeautify.org/jsonviewer for parse and read JSON data.

What is the problem? Are you getting an Exception, is the app / server crashing? Logfiles?
