I have the following json file. I want to know where should i place the json file in my project and how to read and store it.
{
"aakash": [
[ 0.070020,0.400684],
[ 0.134198,0.515837],
[ 0.393489,0.731809],
[ 0.281616,0.739490]
],
"anuj": [
[ 1287.836667,-22.104523],
[ -22.104523,308.689613],
[ 775.712801,-13.047385],
[ -13.047385,200.067743]
]
}
Put that file in assets.
For project created in Android Studio project you need to create assets folder under the main folder.
Read that file as:
public String loadJSONFromAsset(Context context) {
String json = null;
try {
InputStream is = context.getAssets().open("file_name.json");
int size = is.available();
byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
is.read(buffer);
is.close();
json = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
return json;
}
and then you can simply read this string return by this function as
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(json_return_by_the_function);
For further details regarding JSON see http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidJSON/article.html
Hope you will get what you want.
