I received the error: JSON Parser﹕ Error parsing data org.json.JSONException: Value Success of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject at success = json.getBoolean(SUCCESS);
I searched around SO and the Internet and I am still not understanding what I am doing wrong.
My JSON looks like: Success
@Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... params) {
//Log.v("LoginActivity", "UserLoginTask-AsyncTask-doinBackground");
Boolean success;
String username = mUsernameView.getText().toString();
String password = mPasswordView.getText().toString();
try {
//Building Parameters
ArrayList<NameValuePair> postParameters = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", mUsernameView.getText().toString()));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", mPasswordView.getText().toString()));
Log.d("request!", "starting");
//getting product details by making HTTP request
//JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(LOGIN_SUCCESS_URL, "POST", postParameters);
//Error parsing data org.json.JSONException:
