JSON Data missing (when passed to member variable in onPostExecute() method)

Hi all,

After having passed the JSON object from doInBackground() to onPostExecute() and then set a member variable equal to the JSON object, when I then "read" the member variable by way of Log.d, only the array part of the object shows up in the log and the preceding "properties" (such as: "status": "ok", "count": 20, "count_total": 1724, "pages": 87,) are no where to be found.

I get the feeling that I'm missing something really obvious... can anyone help me out?

Cheers,

Masum

Edit: However, if specifically requesting the data that I can't see by way of .getString("status") it appears, so it's there but just won't be printed to the log when doing the above... hmmm...

Can you paste in all the code from your Activity class to help troubleshoot?

Thank you for replying to this post... this issue was actually caused by the getContentLength() method, couple of your posts here in the forum and the info in the Teacher's Notes helped me solve this issue already! But thanks for following up!
