How to parse Json Array with gson in android

Question

I am developing android application and I am using gson for parsing json response. My json responce looks like

[{"customerid":"abc","customername":"abc","location":null}

,{"customerid":"xyz","customername":"xyz","location":null}]

And class for parsing this response looks like :

public class CustomerInfo 
{   
    @SerializedName("customerid")
    public String customerid;

    @SerializedName("customername")
    public String customername;

    @SerializedName("location")
    public String location;

    public CustomerInfo()
    {}
}

I tried it in following way:

  Gson gson = new Gson();
  List<CustomerInfo> customers = (List<CustomerInfo>)gson.fromJson(result,CustomerInfo.class);

But its not working for me. How to do this. Need Help. Thank you.

First you create getters and setters for all your variables inside class CustomerInfo i.e. for customerid, customername & location, then you can parse JSON using below code snippet:

Gson gson = new Gson();
JsonData gsonData = gson.fromJson(response, CustomerInfo.class);
for (int j = 0; j < gsonData.getCount(); j++) 
{
    String customerid = gsonData.get(j).getCustomerId();
    String customername = gsonData.get(j).getCustomerName();
    String location = gsonData.get(j).getLocation();
}
