Android - Loading JSON to ListView

Question

I'm still pretty new to Android development, am doing an app/project which involves loading this JSON (listed below) into a ListView with the name, description, and image, but it has been coming up blank on the emulator. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong - any help would be greatly appreciated! (The more specific the better as I am such a newbie..)

JSON:

 {
   "success":true,
   "games":[
      {
         "id":"1",
         "name":"Name of the Game",
         "description":"This is what it is about",
         "image":"IMAGE URL"
      }
   ]
}

AndroidJSONParsingActivity:

// URL to make request
    private static final String url = "URL of API";

    // JSON Node names
    private static final String TAG_GAMES = "games";
    private static final String TAG_ID = "id";
    private static final String TAG_NAME = "name";
    private static final String TAG_DESCRIPTION = "description";
    private static final String TAG_IMAGE = "image";

    // games JSONArray
    JSONArray games = null;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

    // Hash map for ListView
                ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> gameList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

            // Creating JSON Parser instance
            JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();

            // getting JSON string from URL
            JSONObject json = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(url);

            try {
                // Getting Array of Games
                games = json.getJSONArray(TAG_GAMES);

                // looping through All Games
                for(int i = 0; i < games.length(); i++){
                    JSONObject c = games.getJSONObject(i);

                    // Storing each JSON item in variable
                    String id = c.getString(TAG_ID);
                    String image = c.getString(TAG_IMAGE);

                    // is again JSON Object
                    JSONObject author = c.getJSONObject(TAG_DESCRIPTION);
                    String name = author.getString(TAG_NAME);

                    // creating new HashMap
                    HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();

                    // adding each child node to HashMap key => value
                    map.put(TAG_ID, id);
                    map.put(TAG_NAME, name);
                    map.put( TAG_IMAGE, image);
                    // adding HashList to ArrayList
                    gameList.add(map);
                }
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }


            /**
             * Updating parsed JSON data into ListView

            ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, gameList,

                            R.id.name, R.id.description });

            setListAdapter(adapter);

            // selecting single ListView item
            ListView lv = getListView();

            // Launching new screen on Selecting Single ListItem
            lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                        int position, long id) {
                    // getting values from selected ListItem
                    String name = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.name)).getText().toString();
                    String description = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.description)).getText().toString();

            String line = null;
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {

Answer 1

AsyncTask.class

class LoadMovies extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, List<Category>>{

private YourActivity activity;

public LoadMovies(YourActivity activty){
    activity = activty;
}

        private final static String TAG = "Log";


        @Override
        protected List<Category> doInBackground(Void... params) {
            InputStream ips = null;
            JSONObject json = null;

            try{
                DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
                HttpResponse response = client.execute(new HttpGet("http://youtsite"));

                ips = response.getEntity().getContent();
                BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ips));
                StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
                String line;

                while((line = buffer.readLine()) != null){
                    builder.append(line+"\n");
                }
                json = new JSONObject(builder.toString());

            }
            catch(Exception e){
                Log.i(TAG, e.toString());
            }

                List<Category> list = new ArrayList<Category>();
                JSONArray array = json.optJSONObject("data").optJSONArray("reviews");
                for (int i = 0; i < array.length(); i++){
                    JSONObject rss = array.optJSONObject(i); 
                                    Category cat = new Category();
                                    cat.addName(rss.optString("name"));  
                                    cat.addCode(rss.optString("code"));                     
                    list.add(cat);
                }

            return list;
        }

        protected void onPostExecute(List<Category> result){
            super.onPostExecute(result);
                    Youractivity.mMoviesAdapter.addCategory(result);
        }

    }

Category.class

public class Category {
    private String name;
    private String code;

    void addName(String name){
        this.name = name;
    }

    void addCode(String code){
        this.code = code;
    }

    public String getName(){
     return this.name;
    }

    String getCode(){
        return this.code;
    }
}

Adapter.class

class MoviesAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Category> {

    Context c;      
    List<Category> mListCategory; 

    public MoviesAdapter(Context context, int resource, int textViewResource, List<Categoryy> list) {
        super(context, resource, textViewResource, list);
        c = context;

        mListCategory= list;
    }

    public void addCategory(List<MoviesCategory> list){
        mListCategory.addAll(list);
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    @Override
     public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
        View v = convertView;
        if(v == null){
            LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(c);
            v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.yourview, null);
        }

        TextView title =  (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.title);
        TextView code=  (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.code);

        Category cat = getItem(position);
        if(mov != null){
            title.setText(cat.getName());
            code.setText(cat.getCode());

        }

        return v;
    }   

}

And in MainActivity call all

    public class YourActivity extends MainActivity{
    private ListView mCategory;
    private List<Category> mCategoryArray = new ArrayList<Category>();
    private LoadMovies mLoadMovies;
    public mMoviesAdapter adapter;

   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle bundle){
   super.onCreate(bundle);

    //MoviesList        
        mMoviesAdapter = new MoviesAdapter(this, R.layout.main_movies_adapter, R.id.youradapterlayout, mCategoryArray );
        mCategoryList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.movies_adapter_list);
        mMoviesList.setAdapter(mMoviesAdapter);

        mLoadMovies = new LoadMovies(this);
        mLoadMovies.execute();
}
    }

Answer 2

this is my code

                        map.put("sp",e.getString("special_price"));
                        map.put("image", String.valueOf(e.getString("image")));
                    float price1 = Float.parseFloat(e.getString("price"));
                    float sp1=Float.parseFloat(e.getString("special_price"));
                    float save1=price1-sp1;
                    map.put("save",String.valueOf(save1));


                        mylist.add(map);    

                    }       
                }catch(JSONException e)
                {
                     Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data "+e.toString());

                }
