JSONTokener Error on Android

Question

I'm running the following code in my Runnable Class and getting an error. Both the code and the error are detailed below.

Code :

public class RunnableJob implements Runnable {

public Products products = new Products();

@Override
public void run() {
    products
            .productsField( "search", "iphone" );

/* Make the Request */
    try {
        JSONObject results = products.getProducts();
        Log.i("System.out", results.getString("code"));
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        Log.i("error", "hit the exception");
    }

}
}

This is the error we're getting:

Um..there's no such method. There seems to be an error with the semantics3request. I would read here. Seems to talk about this error http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18231134/how-to-avoid-java-lang-nosuchmethoderror-org-apache-poi-util-ioutils-copyljava — cjds, Jul 17 '15 at 19:27

You have a dependency on an old version of org.json (probably in some other package that also depends on org.json)

I solved this by explicitly defining the dependency in pom.xml

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.json</groupId>
        <artifactId>json</artifactId>
        <version>20141113</version>
    </dependency>

(If you are using something other than Maven for dependency management you will have a similar change you need to make.)
