Example to parse data from a simple JSON fromat
From the URL : "http://yourwebsite.com/getCities";
{ //JSON Object
"list":[ //JSON Array
{"name":"Hyderabad"},
{"name":"Mumbai"},
{"name":"Delhi"}
] //JSON Array
} //JSON Object
Now check the following code,
1.ListActivty
2.ParserClass
3.ServiceHandlerClass
4.Pojo Class
And List, Row XML layouts
