Question

I have data on a server which stores name and images.
I want to retrieve that from server and display in table layout on Android.

I wonder which is the best xmlparsing or json parsing for that purpose.
Is there any tutorial for that?

if($_REQUEST['mode']=="get")
{
 $result = mysql_query("SELECT state,imageurl FROM `pic_upload`");

        while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
        {
                $output=$row;

                print(json_encode($output));

        }
        mysql_close;
 }

using this i will get data from server but how to get data using xml parsing any one know

Answer 1

It seems that json_encode($output) will produce a JSON output, so you should use Android’s JSON API (org.json).

A quite recent tutorial is located at http://www.androidhive.info/2012/01/android-json-parsing-tutorial/ (also showing how to put retrieved elements on a list), but you will find many simply googling for Android and JSON.
