Question

I build this webservice on netbeans,

package in.figures.on.mobile;

import db.koneksi.dbKoneksi;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import org.json.simple.JSONValue;

/**
 *
 * @author Setyadi
 */
@WebService()
public class AksesData {

    /**
     * Web service operation
     */
    @WebMethod(operationName = "Kategori")
    public String Kategori() {
        //TODO write your implementation code here:

        dbKoneksi con = new dbKoneksi();
        Statement statement;
        Properties properties;
        List list = new ArrayList();
        String sql = "SELECT idPrimary_key, kategori FROM kategori ";
        ResultSet hasil;
        String kategori = null;

        try{
            statement = con.getConnection().createStatement();
            hasil = statement.executeQuery(sql);
            while (hasil.next()) {
                properties = new Properties();
                properties.put("idPrimary_key", hasil.getString(1));
                properties.put("kategori", hasil.getString(2));
                list.add(properties);
            }
            kategori = JSONValue.toJSONString(list);
        }
        catch(Exception e){
        }

        return kategori;
    }


}

And return a JSON like this

[{"idPrimary_key":"21ye21","kategori":"FirstCategory"},
{"idPrimary_key":"89oy89","kategori":"SecondCategory"},
{"idPrimary_key":"34ew34","kategori":"ThirdCategory"}]

And I try to consume in Android ListView like this, but still got errors,

        SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);  

        SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
        envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);

        HttpTransportSE transportSE = new HttpTransportSE(URL);

        try {
            transportSE.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
            SoapPrimitive response = (SoapPrimitive) envelope.getResponse();
            result = response.toString();

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

        }

        String jsonAN = "{\"kat\":"+result+"}"; //try to build to be like this {"kat":[{blablablaJSON}]}
        String kategoriJSONList[][] = new String[99][2];
        String katList[] = new String[99]; //tobe shown on listview, derived from two dimensional array above.
        try {
            jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonAN);
            jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("kat");

            for(int i=0; i < jsonArray.length() ; i++){
                kategoriJSONList[i][0] = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("idPrimary_key").toString();
                kategoriJSONList[i][1] = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("kategori").toString();
            }

            for(int i=0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++){
                katList[i] = kategoriJSONList[i][1];
            }

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

        ListView list  = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listKategori);
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
                WebServiceActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,katList
                );

        list.setAdapter(adapter);

        list.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position,
                    long arg3) {
                final String kategori = (String) ((TextView)arg1).getText();
                Toast.makeText(WebServiceActivity.this, kategori,
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });

Need help how to consume the JSONValue that return as shown above to be shown as ListView.
I got stress in this days.
Thanks in advance.

Ok. Try this bellow code. It is full functional to me. You should implement the HttpRequest in the commented line. Pay atention to that the JSON array is hard-coded.

// the Adapter
public class ListViewAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    private Context context = null;
    private List<String> fields = null;

    public ListViewAdapter(Context context, JSONArray arr) {
        this.context = context;
        this.fields = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (int i=0; i<arr.length(); ++i) {
            try {
                fields.add(arr.getJSONObject(i).toString());
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return fields.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return fields.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup viewGroup) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.itemlist, null);
        TextView txt = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.ItemList_txt);
        txt.setText(fields.get(position));
        return convertView;
    }

}

// the activity
public class ListViewActivity extends Activity {

    public final String result = "[{\"idPrimary_key\":\"21ye21\",\"kategori\":\"FirstCategory\"},{\"idPrimary_key\":\"89oy89\",\"kategori\":\"SecondCategory\"},{\"idPrimary_key\":\"34ew34\",\"kategori\":\"ThirdCategory\"}]";
    public final String obj = "{\"kat\":"+result+"}";

    private ListViewAdapter adapter = null;
    private ListView myList = null;
    private JSONArray items = new JSONArray();

    final Handler handler = new Handler() {
        @Override
        public void handleMessage(android.os.Message msg) {
            if (msg.what == 0) { // server returned null, try again
                loadFields();
            } else if(msg.what == 1) { // error in json
                // do something to treat it
            } else if (msg.what == 2) { // ready to roll the list
                adapter = new ListViewAdapter(ListViewActivity.this, items);
                myList.setAdapter(adapter);
                adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            }
        }
    };

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    myList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.Lists_notificationsListview);
    loadFields();
}

private void loadFields() {
    new Thread() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            Looper.prepare();
            StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(obj);
            if (builder != null) {
                try {
                    // HERE, you should implement the HTTP request...
                    items = new JSONObject(obj).getJSONArray("kat");
                    handler.sendEmptyMessage(2);
                } catch (JSONException e) {
                    handler.sendEmptyMessage(1);
                }
            } else {
                handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
            }
            Looper.loop();
        }
    }.start();
}

And the xml files:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:isScrollContainer="true">
        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/Lists_notificationsListview"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
        </ListView>
    </RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/ItemList_txt"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>

As result, it generates the following view:

Of course, you can customize it to create lists that you want, just parsing the jsons!
Hope that I’ve helped in some way…
