Question

Here is the class where i get JSON objects. In this code I get only one object and I don’t really know how to return from the method, there is a Protected Void method where it is a settext method called and there is where the only JSON object goes.

public class ConnectMySql extends Activity {

 TextView httpStuff;
 HttpClient client;
 JSONObject json;

 final static String URL = "http://79.114.48.119/RadarsMySql.php";

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    httpStuff = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvHttp);
    client = new DefaultHttpClient();
    new Read().execute("latitude");
}


public JSONObject lastTweet(String username) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException,JSONException{
    StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder(URL);
    url.append(username);


    HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url.toString());
    HttpResponse r = client.execute(get);
    int status = r.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
    //if(status == 200){
        HttpEntity e = r.getEntity();

        String data = EntityUtils.toString(e);
        data = data.substring(data.indexOf("["));

        JSONArray timeline = new JSONArray(data);
        JSONObject last = timeline.getJSONObject(0);
        return last;

    //}else{ 
        //Toast.makeText(ConnectMySql.this, "error", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
        //return null;

    //}
}

public class Read extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String>{

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        try {
            json = lastTweet("");
            return json.getString(params[0]);
        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onPostExecute(String result) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        httpStuff.setText(result);
        int myNum = 0;

        try {
            myNum = Integer.parseInt(result);
            httpStuff.setText(myNum);
        } catch(NumberFormatException nfe) {
           System.out.println("Could not parse " + nfe);
        } 
    }

}

}

What I want to do is to have an array where i could store three kind of objects (exemple Latitude[1], Longitude [1], Description[1]; Latitude[2] etc… I would like the latitude and longitude to be as integers ). After this I will use a for loop to call a function with this 3 parameters. Could anyone help me or could give me some tips ?
Thank you!

Dont use AsyncTask, as it executes in background, and this is why it causes some problems for you.

And when you have your twitter arser working, integrate it in a AsyncTask. Code below is not tested.

 public class ConnectMySql extends Activity {

 TextView httpStuff;
 HttpClient client;
 int i;
 JSONObject json;

 final static String URL = "http://localhost/RadarsMySql.php";

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    httpStuff = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvHttp);
    client = new DefaultHttpClient();
    for(i=0;i<2;i++){
    new Read().execute("latitude");

        try {
            json = lastTweet("",i);

            String result = json.getString(params[i]);

         httpStuff.setText(result);
            int myNum = 0;

            try {
                myNum = Integer.parseInt(result);
                httpStuff.setText(myNum);
            } catch(NumberFormatException nfe) {
               System.out.println("Could not parse " + nfe);
            } 


        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }
}


public JSONObject lastTweet(String username,int i) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException,JSONException{
    StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder(URL);
    url.append(username);


    HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url.toString());
    HttpResponse r = client.execute(get);
    int status = r.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
    //if(status == 200){
        HttpEntity e = r.getEntity();

        String data = EntityUtils.toString(e);
        data = data.substring(data.indexOf("["));

        JSONArray timeline = new JSONArray(data);
        JSONObject last = timeline.getJSONObject(i);
        return last;

    //}else{ 
        //Toast.makeText(ConnectMySql.this, "error", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
        //return null;

    //}
}

}
