Introduction

If you've been using the YouTube Data API in your Android application but find that your details array remains empty after hitting the API, then you are not alone. This is a common issue that developers face when working with networking libraries such as Volley. In this guide, we will break down the problem and provide a clear solution to help you successfully retrieve data from your JSON file.

The Problem

You have implemented a request to the YouTube Data API, intending to fetch details about specific videos using their IDs. However, despite your efforts, the details array where you want to store the fetched data is empty after your Volley's gettingRequest() method is called. You suspect there is an issue within this function.

Understanding the API Response

Let's first understand what the JSON response from the API looks like. A typical response looks like this:

You can see the structure of the data being returned. However, in your current implementation, you are checking for a field named success to determine if the API call was successful.

The Solution

The success field does not exist in the YouTube Data API's response. Therefore, the condition you set up is leading to the issue where the code inside the if(success) block is never executed. What you need to do is simply remove that condition.

Step-by-Step Guide to Fix the Issue

Identify the Condition:
Look for the following lines of code in your gettingRequest() function:

Modify Your Data Extraction Logic:
Ensure that the remaining code within the Response.Listener block runs without any conditional checks. Here’s how your modified code snippet should look:

Test Your Changes:
After making these modifications, rebuild your project and run the application again. Check if the details array now contains the data fetched from the API.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it's always vital to closely examine the structure of the API response when making requests in your Android application. By ensuring that you check for the correct fields, you can avoid common pitfalls such as an empty data array. Implementing this straightforward change in your code will now allow your application to fetch and display data correctly from the YouTube Data API.

Keep coding and happy debugging!
