Getting error when parsing JSON by GSON using Volley

Question

How to parse below JSON using GSON library and Volley?

[
    {
        "code": 1,
        "message": "Scan Details",
        "result": [
            {
                "Inbound Date": "2017-10-13",
                "Outobund Date": "2017-10-16",
                "Inbound": "3",
                "Outbound": "3",
                "Outbound Pending": "0"
            },
            {
                "Inbound Date": "2017-10-16",
                "Outobund Date": "2017-10-16",
                "Inbound": "3",
                "Outbound": "2",
                "Outbound Pending": "1"
            }
        ]
    }
]

I have already created POJO classes :

DashboardPojo_BK

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.List;
import com.google.gson.annotations.Expose;
import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName;
import org.json.JSONObject;

public class DashboardPojo_BK implements Serializable {

    @SerializedName("code")
    @Expose
    private Integer code;
    @SerializedName("message")
    @Expose
    private String message;
    @SerializedName("result")
    @Expose
    private List<ResultDashboard_BK> result = null;

    public Integer getCode() {
        return code;
    }

    public void setCode(Integer code) {
        this.code = code;
    }

    public String getMessage() {
        return message;
    }

    public void setMessage(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }

    public List<ResultDashboard_BK> getResult() {
        return result;
    }

    public void setResult(List<ResultDashboard_BK> result) {
        this.result = result;
    }

}

ResultDashboard_BK

import com.google.gson.annotations.Expose;
import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName;

import java.io.Serializable;

public class ResultDashboard_BK implements Serializable {

    @SerializedName("Inbound Date")
    @Expose
    private String inboundDate;
    @SerializedName("Outobund Date")
    @Expose
    private String outobundDate;
    @SerializedName("Inbound")
    @Expose
    private String inbound;
    @SerializedName("Outbound")
    @Expose
    private String outbound;
    @SerializedName("Outbound Pending")
    @Expose
    private String outboundPending;

    public String getInboundDate() {
        return inboundDate;
    }

    public void setInboundDate(String inboundDate) {
        this.inboundDate = inboundDate;
    }

    public String getOutobundDate() {
        return outobundDate;
    }

    public void setOutobundDate(String outobundDate) {
        this.outobundDate = outobundDate;
    }

    public String getInbound() {
        return inbound;
    }

    public void setInbound(String inbound) {
        this.inbound = inbound;
    }

    public String getOutbound() {
        return outbound;
    }

    public void setOutbound(String outbound) {
        this.outbound = outbound;
    }

    public String getOutboundPending() {
        return outboundPending;
    }

    public void setOutboundPending(String outboundPending) {
        this.outboundPending = outboundPending;
    }

}

This is the post request I am using here, I can able to parse data but getting issue when data is setting to POJO classes by GSON.

Below is my JSON parsing using Volley library.

 String url = Constants.BLOOMKONNECT_DASHBOARD;
    Log.e("URL",""+url);

    StringRequest eventoReq = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url,
            new Response.Listener<String>() {
                @Override
                public void onResponse(String response) {
                    Log.e("RESPONSE", response.toString());

                    utils.hideDialog();
                    try {
                        JSONArray j = new JSONArray(response);

                        // Parse a json
                        for (int i = 0; i < j.length(); i++) {
                            try {
                                JSONObject obj = j.getJSONObject(0);
                                String code = String.valueOf(obj.get("code"));
                                Log.e("CODE", "" + code);

                                if(code.equals("1")){
                                    utils.showtoast("i m here");



                                    Gson gson = new Gson();
                                    Type listType = new TypeToken<ResultDashboard_BK>() {
                                    }.getType();
                                    ResultDashboard_BK pojo  = gson.fromJson(response.toString(), listType);
                                     Log.e("DATA",""+pojo);

                                } else {
                                    utils.hideDialog();
                                    utils.showtoast("Unexpected Response");
                                }


                            } catch (JSONException e) {
                                e.printStackTrace();
                            }

                        }

                    } catch (JSONException e) {

        @Override
        public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
            Log.e("Error: ", "" + error.getMessage());
            //hidePDialog();

        }
    }) {
        @Override
        protected Map<String, String> getParams() {
            // Posting parameters to login url
            Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
            params.put("user_id", userId);
            Log.e("USER_ID",""+userId);
            return params;
        }
    };

    // Añade la peticion a la cola
    AppController.getInstance(this).addToRequestQueue(eventoReq);

I don't know why root element is JsonArray but it's better to correspond for loop because of JsonArray. try the following codes.

try {
    JSONArray j = new JSONArray(response);

    Gson gson = new Gson();
    // Parse a json
    for (int i = 0; i < j.length(); i++) {
      JSONObject obj = j.getJSONObject(i);

      DashboardPojo_BK pojo = gson.fromJson(obj.toString(), DashboardPojo_BK.class);

      if (pojo.getCode().equals("1")){
        utils.showtoast("i m here");

        // do somthing with pojo
      } else {
        utils.hideDialog();
        utils.showtoast("Unexpected Response");
      }

    }

  } catch (JSONException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }

Add this compile dependency in build.gradle file

compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.1'

then after getting response you can parse the json to gson using following

Type listType = new TypeToken<List<DashboardPojo_BK>>(){}.getType();
List<DashboardPojo_BK> responseModel = (List<DashboardPojo_BK>) gson.fromJson(response, listType);

//where reponse is the string you got from api response

Change to this in your code .

 Gson gson = new Gson();

 Type listType = new TypeToken<List<DashboardPojo_BK>>() {}.getType();
 List<DashboardPojo_BK> mList = gson.fromJson(response.toString(), listType);

Your code solved by issue what i was getting. Thankyou – Abhishek kumar Oct 18 '17 at 06:42
Please help me one thing more,I have to set the result data in RecyclerView. adapter = new InOutboundAdapter(this,mList.get(0).getResult()); recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter); HOw i have to send arrayList to Adapter. – Abhishek kumar Oct 18 '17 at 06:51
You can set `List mList` as global data ,and you can use it in your adapter . – KeLiuyue Oct 18 '17 at 06:56
I solved , One thing i have not understand when i am sending context , i have to set in constructor of adapter is Response.Listener context; previously i set Context context; Why i am getting context from Activity to Adapter is Response.Listener context; ? – Abhishek kumar Oct 18 '17 at 07:02
Solved, Thanks alot @KeLiuyue – Abhishek kumar Oct 18 '17 at 07:28
Good luck to you .@Abhishekkumar – KeLiuyue Oct 18 '17 at 07:29

Your json is a JSONArray, so you need to parse List<DashboardPojo_BK> instead of parsing DashboardPojo_BK directly.
