Question

I connected my android to a MySQL Database and it works fine. I do it with a php file to connect to the database and make the query.
Now I want to show data from different tables from the same database. I think I have to call the function read but I don’t know how to shave the data.
Maybe it’s easier or better to do it with web services??
This is the code I used from another post

package com.example.onlinetestactivity;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;
import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    TextView resultView;
    HttpClient client;
    JSONObject json;
    String Dat;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        resultView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvjson);
        client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        try {
            json = RedData();
        } 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();
        }

      Dat = json.toString();

        new Read().onPostExecute(Dat);
    }
    public JSONObject RedData() throws ClientProtocolException, IOException, JSONException {

        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://file.php");     
        HttpResponse r = client.execute(httppost);

        HttpEntity e = r.getEntity();
        String data = EntityUtils.toString(e);
        JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(data);
        JSONObject last = jArray.getJSONObject(0);
        return last;


    }


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

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            try {
                json = RedData();
                //Toast.makeText(OnlineTestActivity.this, json.getString(arg0[0]), Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
                return json.getString(arg0[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
        protected void onPostExecute(String data) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            resultView.setText(data);
        }
    }
}

and this is the php file

<?php
header('Content-type: application/json');

$server = "XXXXXXXX";
$username = "XXXXXXX";
$password = "XXXXXXXX";
$database = "XXXXXXX";

$con = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password) or die ("No se puede conectar: " . mysql_error());

$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $con);
if (!$db_selected)
{
  die ("Error al seleccionar la Base de datos: " . mysql_error());
}

$sql = "select XXXXXXXXXXX)";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Query error: " . mysql_error());

$records = array();

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $records[] = $row;
}

mysql_close($con);

print(json_encode($records));
?>

Thank you everybody

Answer 1

The problem was in PHP file:

print(json_encode($records));

Must go before:

mysql_close($con);

JSON couldn´t understand that and it failed but changing the order works properly
