I’m new to Android and also don’t know much about JSON so I was doing a tutorial login But I’m wrong and I don’t know what to do. I think it is a php error or database because my register class and my insert query class also give the same error but my query class works well. This is the mistake:
Error Parsing data org.json.Jsonexception: Value  of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to Jsonobject
Android code:
public class Login extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
private EditText user, pass;
private Button mSubmit, mRegister;
// Progress Dialog
private ProgressDialog pDialog;
// JSON parser class
JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser();
//php login script location:
//localhost :
//testing on your device
//put your local ip instead, on windows, run CMD > ipconfig
//or in mac's terminal type ifconfig and look for the ip under en0 or en1
// private static final String LOGIN_URL = "http://xxx.xxx.x.x:1234/webservice/login.php";
//testing on Emulator:
private static final String LOGIN_URL = "http://www.cresceranorte.com/WebService/login.php";
//testing from a real server:
//private static final String LOGIN_URL = "http://www.yourdomain.com/webservice/login.php";
//JSON element ids from repsonse of php script:
private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
private static final String TAG_MESSAGE = "message";

I also thought it was this but I in the application also have a log menu that also gives me a similar error but even giving error and the program stop responding and close the REGISTER APPEARS IN THE DATABASE. Class error record: Error Parsing data org.json.Jsonexception: Value  of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to Jsonobject

There is no other explanation for this error. The translation of the same already says: impossible to convert the "..." value of the String type to a Jsonobject. Debug your program and make sure your request response is in this format: Jsonobject

I was looking at the JSON results and came across this: {"Success":1,"message":"Invalid Credentials!" } the mistake that gives me is because 1 has no quotes? is that I until a few days had never heard of JSON.
