Using Intents to Display and Share Posts Video

Hi, I've followed the instructions in the video all the way to the end however, upon reaching the bit where is up to: *"String blogUrl = jsonPosts.getString("url")" the url is underlined red.

I have used the auto completion have when it is fixed by : *String blogUrl = jsonPosts.getString(Integer.parseInt("url")); the emulator works and displays the titles but when i click into the website it crashes and exits the application.

I see there is the variable log say "Disconnected from the target VM, address: 'local host :8606', transport 'socket'."

I have been stuck on this for a while now trying to look through the coding.

To clarify this is part of the "Build a Blog Reader App" - First Video "Using Intents to Display and Share Posts".

Tree House wouldn't let me put in a longer title for the description.

You're trying to get the url from the JSONArray instead of the JSONObject, so try this:

String blogUrl= jsonObject.getString("url");

Thanks, It works! Looks like I'll have to look more into the formula.

Cheers!
