Android get specific data from JSON

Question

I'm newbie on android and I'm trying to create an application that catch data from JSON. For now I already get all data, but the problem is how can I get specific data that I only need.

Here's my JSON example

[{"id":"152","category_id":"1","item_name":"Restaurant1","description":"Restaurant1","address":"Restaurant1","area":"42","area_name":"Kuta","longitude":"2131","latitude":"1231","open_detail":"24hours","kids":"","free_text_for_kids":"","cuisine_id":"3","cuisine_name":"Chinese","cuisine_uniqe_code":"CNS","price_category":"5","hotel_official_star_rating":"0","phone":"123","mobile_phone":"123","review":"Restaurant1","promotion":"0","promotion_free_text":"","promotion_start_date":"0000-00-00","promotion_end_date":"0000-00-00","active":"1","image_count":"3","created_date":"1401644001","created_by":"1","updated_date":"1402029631","updated_by":"1","facebook":"Restaurant1","twitter":"Restaurant1","instagram":"Restaurant1"},

As you can see, there's two type category_id, how can I get only category_id "1" for restaurant. I know that I have to use if statement, but where should I put it?

Here's My java code

@Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
        // Creating service handler class instance
        ServiceHandler sh = new ServiceHandler();

        // Making a request to url and getting response
        String jsonStr = sh.makeServiceCall(url, ServiceHandler.GET);

        Log.d("Response: ", "> " + jsonStr);

        if (jsonStr != null) {
            try {

                restaurant = new JSONArray(jsonStr);


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

                    String item_name = c.getString(TAG_ITEM_NAME);
                    String cuisine_name = c.getString(TAG_CUISINE_NAME);

                    // tmp hashmap for single contact
                    HashMap<String, String> contact = new HashMap<String, String>();

                    // adding each child node to HashMap key => value
                    contact.put(TAG_ITEM_NAME, item_name);
                    contact.put(TAG_CUISINE_NAME, cuisine_name);


                    // adding contact to contact list
                    restaurantList.add(contact);
                }
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } else {
            Log.e("ServiceHandler", "Couldn't get any data from the url");
        }

        return null;
    }

Thanks Before :D

Answer 1

Actually I found the answer by myself. Here's the code that I use

for (int i = 0; i < restaurant.length(); i++) {
    JSONObject c = restaurant.getJSONObject(i);

    if(c.getString("category_id").equals("1")) {

        String item_name = c.getString(TAG_ITEM_NAME);
        String cuisine_name = c.getString(TAG_CUISINE_NAME);

        // tmp hashmap for single contact
        HashMap<String, String> contact = new HashMap<String, String>();

        // adding each child node to HashMap key => value
        contact.put(TAG_ITEM_NAME, item_name);
        contact.put(TAG_CUISINE_NAME, cuisine_name);

        // adding contact to contact list
        restaurantList.add(contact);
    }
}

Thanks a lot for everyone that already answer it. I really appriciate it :D

Create an if statement that checks if the category is 1 and if it is then add the to the HashMap if it is not then do not do anything continue to the next json object.

sample:

for (int i = 0; i < restaurant.length(); i++) {
        JSONObject c = restaurant.getJSONObject(i);

        String category = c.getString("category_id");
        if(category.equals("1"))
        {
            String item_name = c.getString(TAG_ITEM_NAME);
            String cuisine_name = c.getString(TAG_CUISINE_NAME);

            // tmp hashmap for single contact
            HashMap<String, String> contact = new HashMap<String, String>();

            // adding each child node to HashMap key => value
            contact.put(TAG_ITEM_NAME, item_name);
            contact.put(TAG_CUISINE_NAME, cuisine_name);


            // adding contact to contact list
            restaurantList.add(contact);
        }
    }
