How to get json object of google maps places api in android? -

is there way json data google maps places api in android. using following link retrieve data.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=store+in+lahore&type=clothing_store&key=---- 

it returns data in json format. please me how can data form above in android.

i know it's old question. hope useful others in future.

first, have add module level build.gradle,

android {     uselibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy' } 

next step create asynctask,

public class myasynctask extends asynctask<string, void, boolean> {     private jsonobject jsonobject;      @override     protected void onpostexecute(boolean aboolean) {         super.onpostexecute(aboolean);         system.out.println(jsonobject); //use jsonobject here     }      protected boolean doinbackground(final string... args) {         try {             looper.prepare();             string latitude = args[0];             string longitude = args[1];             string radius = args[2];             string name = args[3];             string key = "your_api_key_for_browser";              string uri = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?"                      + "location=" + latitude + "," + longitude                      + "&radius=" + radius                      + "&name=" + name                     + "&key="+ key; // can add more options here              httpclient httpclient = new defaulthttpclient();             httppost httppost = new httppost(uri);             httppost.setentity(new urlencodedformentity(new arraylist<namevaluepair>()));             httpentity httpentity = httpclient.execute(httppost).getentity();              inputstream stream = httpentity.getcontent();             bufferedreader breader = new bufferedreader(new inputstreamreader(stream, "utf-8"), 8);             stringbuilder sbuilder = new stringbuilder();              string line = null;             while ((line = breader.readline()) != null) {                 sbuilder.append(line + "\n");             }              stream.close();             jsonobject = new jsonobject(sbuilder.tostring());          } catch (exception e) {             e.printstacktrace();         }         return null;     } } 

and execute asynctask wherever want. (maybe mainactivity),

string latitude = string.valueof(latlng.latitude); string longitude = string.valueof(latlng.longitude); string radius = "2000"; // 2 kilometer string name = "hospital";  myasynctask myasynctask = new myasynctask(); myasynctask.execute(latitude, longitude, radius, name); 

you can add more option while fetching places google places, example keyword, language etc. read more options , how use them here.
