Question

I’m retrieving information about places from my database. After retreiving them, I want to store them into an ArrayList (which is “ArrayList of Places”, however, each time a new entry is written, it overwrites the previous entries too. I’m testing it out by printing the log. Below is the segment of codes:

response = CustomHttpClient.executeHttpPost("http://www.testing.com
/requestPlaces.php", postParameters);

            JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(response);

            for(int i = 0; i < jArray.length() ; i++)
            {
                Places place = new Places();
                JSONObject jObj = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
                place.setPlace(
                        jObj.optString("placeID"), 
                        jObj.optString("placeName"), 
                        jObj.optString("placeType"),
                        jObj.optString("placeLat"),
                        jObj.optString("placeLng"),
                        jObj.optString("placePict"),
                        jObj.optString("placeRegion"));

                arrPlace.add(place);
                for(int j = 0; j <= i ; j++)
                {
                    Log.e("log_tag2", arrPlace.get(j).getPlaceID());
                }

This is what my log prints out that shows that the previous entry has been overwritten:

Answer 1

I would guess that you have static fields instead of instance fields in your Places class. Remove the static modifier:

class Places {
    static int id;
}

E.g:

class Places {
    int id;
}
