json object check if key exists java
// JSONObject class has a method named "has":
// http://developer.android.com/reference/org/json/JSONObject.html#has(java.lang.String)
// Returns true if this object has a mapping for name. The mapping may be NULL.
if (json.has("status")) {
String status = json.getString("status"));
}
if (json.has("club")) {
String club = json.getString("club"));
}
Here is what the above code is Doing:
1. Create a JSONObject from the JSON response string
2. Extract the value for the key called “status”
3. Extract the value for the key called “club”
