Android- App with WordPress API e GSON

3 Views

i’m trying to make an android native app for my WordPress blog. I heard that WordPress has JSON-API to handle the information of a blog but I don’t know how I could use it. Please, could someone give me a tiny introduction of its use and if I could use the GSON library to manage the information within my Android app?
Thanks!!

  1. Simple example to parse/deserialize your JSON string 

    String jsonStr = "{"name": "A", "address":"XYZ"}";

// You can convert your Json string to JsonObject as below

Gson gson = new Gson();
JsonElement element = gson.fromJson (jsonStr, JsonElement.class);
JsonObject jsonObj = element.getAsJsonObject();


// If you can define a POJO class for your Json, you can convert json to java object

public class MyData {
    private String name;
    private String address;
    //Setters and Getters   
}

Gson gson = new Gson();
MyData data = gson.fromGson(jsonStr, MyData.class);

    Refer Gson API documentation for more details. Hope this will be helpful.

  2. To use GSON you will have to create a class with the exact same fields as the JSON you will want to parse. GSON till then take in a JSON string and instantiate an object with the data. For example if you have some JSON with som information like: 

    {"name":"Test testsson", "id":19}

    and you would like to parse that. You have to create a class like: 

    Person{
    public String name;
    public int id;  
}

    And then use GSON: 

    Gson gson = new Gson();
Person p = gson.fromGson(jsonString, Person.class);

    and the p object will have the data from your JSON string.
