Get array from within an array from URL

Question

I'm trying to extract the "stops" array from the JSON Array, but it's contained within another array called "results". How do I get the "stops" and put them into a JSON array?

The variables have been declared further up the code (not shown). There is also catches (not shown).

The code is giving me the error is:

2018-12-19 14:31:38.892 6650-6787/ie.[college].student.[studentid].dublinbuses E/StopIdResultsActivity: An error occurred! Error: No value for stops.

The part of code I need looked at is:

protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
            ...
            ...
                try {

                    origin = "";
                    destination = "";
                    route_result = "";

                    JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(routeid_jsonStr);

                    ...

                    }
                    else {
                    JSONArray results = jsonObj.getJSONArray("results");

                     //looping through All Contacts
                    for (int i = 0; i < results.length(); i++) {

                        JSONObject r = results.getJSONObject(i);
                        JSONArray stops = jsonObj.getJSONArray("stops");
                        for (int j = 0; j < stops.length(); j++) {

                            JSONObject s = stops.getJSONObject(j);

                            stopid = r.getString("stopid");
                            shortname = r.getString("shortname");
                            shortnamelocalized = r.getString("shortnamelocalized");

                            HashMap<String, String> stop = new HashMap<>();

                            // adding each child node to HashMap key => value
                            stop.put("stopid", stopid);
                            stop.put("shortname", shortname);
                            stop.put("shortnamelocalized", shortnamelocalized );

                            resultList.add(stop);
                        }
                    }
                }

Answer 1

Please have a look on these lines:

JSONObject r = results.getJSONObject(i);
JSONArray stops = jsonObj.getJSONArray("stops");

I think it should be instead:

JSONObject r = results.getJSONObject(i);
JSONArray stops = r.getJSONArray("stops");

And here you also mix up varialbles:

stopid = r.getString("stopid");
shortname = r.getString("shortname");
shortnamelocalized = r.getString("shortnamelocalized");

It should be:

stopid = s.getString("stopid");
shortname = s.getString("shortname");
shortnamelocalized = s.getString("shortnamelocalized");

Answer 2

It looks like you use two different variables

JSONObject s = stops.getJSONObject(j);

stopid = r.getString("stopid");
shortname = r.getString("shortname");

You store the json stop data in sbut reads it from r, so it should be

JSONObject s = stops.getJSONObject(j);

stopid = s.getString("stopid");
shortname = s.getString("shortname");
