How can I parse this JSON in Android?

Question

I would like to be able to pull out different fields like Name and Symbol etc. How can I create my JSONObject in Android to do this?

This code can pull out quote, but I'm not sure how to get the individual fields:

JSONObject query = (json.getJSONObject("query").
                                    getJSONObject("results").
                                    getJSONObject("quote"));

            System.out.println(query.toString());

Answer 1

The JSONObject object provides methods for getting all the types of values. For instance you say:

System.out.println(query.getString("symbol")); // prints AAPL System.out.println(query.getDouble("EarningsShare"); // prints 13.285

Answer 2

I like this way

    quoteHashMap = new HashMap<String,String>();
    JSONObject actualObject = query.getJSONObject("query");
    JSONObject quote = query.getJSONObject("quote");
    JSONArray names = quote.names();
    JSONArray quoteArray = quote.toJSONArray(names);
    for(int i = 0; i < quoteArray.length(); i++){
        String value = quoteArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("value");
        String name = quoateArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("name");
        quoteHashMap.put(name, value);
    }
