Android Jsonwriter writes 0 instead of my value into the file

Question

I have a Jsonwriter which is writing into a file. I want to save all of my Book objects which have id, title, author, releasedate, type, description and link. I still get 0 at the releaseDate name, but in the array there is the right value.

JsonWriter writer = new JsonWriter(new OutputStreamWriter
                (this.openFileOutput("books.json",Context.MODE_PRIVATE),"ISO-8859-2"));
        writer.beginArray();
        for(Book b : MainActivity.books){
            writer.beginObject();
            writer.name("id").value(b.getId());
            writer.name("title").value(b.getTitle());
            writer.name("author").value(b.getAuthor());
            writer.name("releaseDate").value(b.getReleaseDate());
            writer.name("type").value(b.getType());
            writer.name("description").value(b.getDescription());
            writer.name("link").value(b.getLink());
            writer.endObject();
        }
        writer.endArray();
        writer.close();

Answer 1

I missed a little mistake in my write and read method. The releasedate has D in the write method and that is why the reader reads 0 from the file.

Answer 2

Field releaseDate at the Book class is a type of int. Please try to wrap it's value with String.valueOf():

writer.name("releaseDate").value(String.valueOf(b.getReleaseDate()));

Answer 3

Change to this:

writer.name("releaseDate").value(Integer.toString(b.getReleaseDate()));
