Android: JSONObject cannot be converted to JSONArray



I want to get data from php file to Android using JSON. This is my code:







....

HttpEntity e = r.getEntity();

String data = EntityUtils.toString(e);

JSONArray timeline = new JSONArray(data);

JSONObject last = timeline.getJSONObject(0);

return last;







When I debug the program there is JSONException on this line:







JSONObject last = timeline.getJSONObject(0);







data = {"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}





and the Exception is: "org.json.JSONException: Value {"d":4,"e":5,"b":2,"c":3,"a":1} of type org.json.JSONObject cannot be converted to JSONArray"

  1. In Json object are described using [].
    There you define an object with five attributes.

  2. data = {"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}

    is already json array not json object.

    that's whay one by one get json array element.

  3. The exception message is quite explicit and a look at the JSON syntax diagrams should be illustrative. The JSON string that your code received is:

    {"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}


    This string represents an object, not an array. An example of an array would be this:

    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]


    or even this:

    [{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}]


    Note that starting and closing brackets.

    I think that you will find that the exception location is slightly misleading. I don't know if it is a result of some sort of lazy initialization or something else, but I believe that the cause is actually this line:

    JSONArray timeline = new JSONArray(data);


    Since the data string represents a JSON object and not an array, this operation is clearly impossible.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
