Capture basic profile data Linkedin

Question

I am doing an integration of my app with Linkedin, what happens is that I can perform the authentication and return to the Activity from my app it showed me the logged in user data.

I am using the codes of the Linkedin API, but being still starting in the development I do not know where and how to call the method that recovers the data, below my code.

Can you help me with this? I just want to know one way to get the user’s name and last name logged in.

Thanks in advance.

        final Activity thisActivity = this;

        Button linkedin = (Button) findViewById(R.id.linkedin);

        linkedin.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        });

    }

I managed to solve my problem, as stated above I am using the Linkedin API where there is a class called Apiresponse, so I understand it already performs all the treatment of JSON.

I hope that if someone faces the same problem the code snippet below can help.

public void getProfile() {
    String url = "https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~";

    APIHelper apiHelper = APIHelper.getInstance(getApplicationContext());
    apiHelper.getRequest(this, url, new ApiListener() {
        @Override
        public void onApiSuccess(ApiResponse s) {
            // onApiSuccess(s);
            JSONObject json = s.getResponseDataAsJson();
            try {
                String nome = json.getString("firstName");
                String sobrenome = json.getString("lastName");
                // JSONObject nome = json.getJSONObject("lastName");
                // nome.toString();

                System.out.println(nome);
                System.out.println(sobrenome);

            } catch (JSONException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }

        @Override
        public void onApiError(LIApiError LIApiError) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }

    });

}
