Receiving JSONException

Exception caught: org.json.JSONException: Unterminated string at character 5902 of {........ it then lists the entire JSON response Any idea where I should look to resolve this?

I haven't made it that far in the second android project but an Unterminated string sounds like a missing " and the end of a string somewhere. Maybe?

Yeah that's what I'm seeing on stack overflow, however everyone is saying it's due to how the JSON is formatted. Sometimes this exception is thrown, other times it is not. I'm assuming it may have to do with the 3rd party emulator I'm using (genymotion).

I'm also having the exact same issue when using Genymotion. However the default emulator works just fine. shrugs

Hello,

Take a look at Hubert Maraszek's fix over here: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/trying-to-retrieve-data-from-my-own-blog-help

It fixed my problem and should fix yours too :)
