Sample JSON file assets parse using GSON

Right now in my Android Development journey Google GSON becomes my favorite arsenal for
converting JSON to Java objects vice versa. 

Benefits using GSON:


1. Its very handy to use.
2. The number of codes will be lessen.
3. Once you converted Java objects to JSON you can now pass it thru intent bundle as a String.


Heres a step by step sample How GSON can help you to parse JSON objects To Java Pojo.

GSON PART:

1.) Create a directory under main folder name it “assets”
src > main > assets

2.) Create a File “androidwear.json”

src > main > assets > androidwear.json


3.) Create class name “BaseWatch.java”
src > main > java > {package name} > BaseWatch.java
Basically this BaseWatch will serve as JSON parser that uses Google GSON library.

4.) Create Class name “Watch.java”
src > main > java > {package name} > Watch.java
This class also serve as JSON parser it will get the inner data of androidwear.json

5.) After doing the 4 steps above we need to create two layouts for the Activity and Adapter;


5.1) Create a xml file “activity_main.xml”
res > layout > activity main.xml
this will serves as the main display container of the app.





 5.2) Create a xml file “list_item_watch.xml”
res > layout > list_item_watch.xml
this will be the view for the list item.



6.) Once you already finished creating the two layouts, the next step will be create the “MainActivity.java”.
src > main > java > {package name } > MainActivity.java



7.) After that, Create a class “WatchAdapter.java” this class will be the incharge of inflating the data to ListItem.

src > main > java > {package name } > WatchAdapter.java
