Contents in this project :

Watch the live demo video of this project.
Start a new android application project on Studio.
Create MySQL database with table on your local or online hosting server.
Create PHP Script to convert MySQL data into JSon data.
Test the PHP Script.
Add internet permission in your project.
Add RecyclerView ,CardView and Volley library in your Android Studio project.
Start Coding.

List of Java file in this project :

MainActivity.java
RecyclerViewCardViewAdapter.java
subjects.java

List of layout files in this project :

activity_main.xml
cardview.xml

List of PHP files in this project :

DataBaseConfig.php
Subjects.php

1. Watch the live demo video of this project :

2. Start a new android application project on Studio.

3. Create MySQL database with table on your local or online hosting server :

Create MySQL database and then inside that a table which will contain the items.

4. Create PHP Script to convert MySQL data into JSon data :

This script will automatically convert the MySQL db data into JSon form.

Code for DatabaseConfig.phpfile.

 <?php

//Define your host here.
$HostName = "mysql.hostinger.in";

//Define your database username here.
$HostUser = "u288012116_json";

//Define your database password here.
$HostPass = "N1c45hlf";

//Define your database name here.
$DatabaseName = "u288012116_json";

?>

Code for Subjects.php file.

<?php
include 'DatabaseConfig.php';

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($HostName, $HostUser, $HostPass, $DatabaseName);

if ($conn->connect_error) {
 
 die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
} 

$sql = "SELECT * FROM ListViewDataTable";

$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows >0) {
 
 
 while($row[] = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
 
 $tem = $row;
 
 $json = json_encode($tem);
 
 
 }
 
} else {
 echo "No Results Found.";
}
 echo $json;
$conn->close();
?>

5. Test the PHP Script : Next step is to run the uploaded php script URL which will display the JSON .

6. Add internet permission in your project : Open your project’s AndroidManifest.xml file and internet permission inside it.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

7. Add RecyclerView ,CardView and Volley library in your Android Studio project :

1. Open your project’s build.gradle(Module:App) file.

2. Add below code inside dependencies scope.

 compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0'

 compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:25.0.+'

 compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.0.+'

 compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library:1.0.19'

3. Screen shot of build.gradle(Module:app) file after adding above 4 libraries :

8. Start Coding :
