Parsing nested Json Objects with Gson

Question

I am new to Gson parsing ,did some examples , but this time my json is much complex it looks like this

{
  "message": "Ok",
  "code": 200,
  "data": {
    "storage": {
      "39": {
        "weight": 22000,
        "verificationPackageRequested": null,
        "id": 39,
        "countryCode": "US",
        "photosPackageRequested": null,
        "created": "2014-12-30 11:27:57",
        "ItemPrice": 224.99,
        "ItemTitle": "Apple iPad Mini MF432LL/A (16GB, Wi-Fi, Space Gray )",
        "PhotoThumbnail": "/upload/storage-products/b8c2839010a8c5aae21df3b9e57125d0_photoThumbnail.jpg"
        "items": [
          {
        "weight": 22000,
        "verificationPackageRequested": null,
        "id": 39,
        "countryCode": "US",
        "photosPackageRequested": null,
        "created": "2014-12-30 11:27:57",
        "ItemPrice": 224.99,
        "ItemTitle": "Apple iPad Mini MF432LL/A (16GB, Wi-Fi, Space Gray )",
        "PhotoThumbnail": "/upload/storage-products/b8c2839010a8c5aae21df3b9e57125d0_photoThumbnail.jpg"
          }
        ],
        "cellStatus": null,
        "orderStorageIsMfPackage": 0,
        "storageImage": "/upload/storage/storage_6_thumbnail.jpg"
      }
    }
  },
  "error": false
}

i tried this way

static class Page{
    String message;
    int code;
    Data data;
    //getters+setters
}
static class Data{
    HashMap<Values,String> storage;
}
static class Values{
    String PhotoThumbnail;
    String ItemTitle;
    String  showPrice;
    String weight;
    String symbol;
    String created;
    String id;
    String photosPackageRequested;
    String verificationPackageRequested;
    String countryCode;
    //getters+setters
    @Override
    public String toString(){
        return PhotoThumbnail+ " - "+ItemTitle+" - "+showPrice+" - "+weight+" - "+symbol+" - "+created+" - "+id+" - "+photosPackageRequested+" - "+verificationPackageRequested+" -"+countryCode;
    }
}

}

And pass results like this

Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().create();
Page wp=gson.fromJson(json,Page.class) ;

But all the i can't get it to work , it show storage as null , i can't understand why , plsease help

That maybe because you didn't initialize your **List**? Can you give your code? — Nemolovich, Jan 06 '15 at 19:33
Your `Storages` should have a `Map`. RItems should have an RItem inside it I guess. — RP-, Jan 06 '15 at 19:36
What do you mean by map ,a map may help in skiping the 39 number also ? — Alex, Jan 06 '15 at 19:39
In your json, `39` is a key and the value is an object. I am thinking that RItems represents that object, then with `Map` the `39` will be the key with in that map. — RP-, Jan 06 '15 at 19:42
one key I can not find is `RItems` and what about `39`? its acted as key. Might be something wrong with your Json response. — user370305, Jan 06 '15 at 19:42
@Rp- oh, i think finally did understand , so youre sayng if i do a map , it will not matter if i will have more diferent numbers like , 40 with an object of items , or 912 and so on ? — Alex, Jan 06 '15 at 19:45

It is because you have 39 item:

data
   '-storage
      '-39
          '-items [item...]

If you change the "39" by "changeIT" for example:

...
"data": {
    "storage": {
        "changeIT": {
            "orderStorageIsAlone": 1,
...

You can use model:

static class Wrapper {

    Data data;
}

static class Data {

    Storages storage;
}

static class Storages {

    ChangeIT changeIT;
}

static class ChangeIT {

    List<RItems> items;

    public ChangeIT() {
        items = new ArrayList<>();
    }
}

static class RItems {

    String PhotoThumbnail;
    String ItemTitle;
    String showPrice;
    String weight;
    String symbol;
    String created;
    String id;
    String photosPackageRequested;
    String verificationPackageRequested;
    String countryCode;
    ...

(This is an example)

You can not use numbers as Class name, so I don't know how to map a transient element.

Perhaps you can consider using org.json libraries instead of GSON. — dispake, Jan 06 '15 at 19:49
i was using them earlier , but it take a lot of time to parse,so i want to go to Gson , as i read , it's a lot faster — Alex, Jan 06 '15 at 19:52
