Android Question Quiz with json file

[jchal]

Hi all
I am trying to make a Quiz with a json file
I managed to read the json file, my problem is how to add the results in the B4A page. I design a page with 2 labels and 5 buttons
The 1st label is question number 1 of 20 for example
2nd label is for question
The first 4 buttons are for the 4 answers.
The 5th button is for skip a question
In the json file you will see the correct answer as index number.

The main Idea is to display the answers one by one the user must answer the question and move to the next one.

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    
    Dim j As HttpJob
    j.Initialize("", Me)
    j.Download("https://www.bz.com/in/intQ.json")
  
    Wait For (j) JobDone(j As HttpJob)
    If j.Success Then
        Dim s As String = j.getstring
        Log(s)
    Else
        Log(LastException)
    End If
    j.Release
    
    
    Dim parser As JSONParser
    parser.Initialize( s )
'    parser.Initialize(File.ReadString(File.DirAssets, "intQ.json"))
    Dim jRoot As Map = parser.NextObject
    Dim questions As List = jRoot.Get("questions")
    For Each colquestions As Map In questions
        Dim question As String = colquestions.Get("question")
        Dim answers As List = colquestions.Get("answers")
        'Dim correctIndex As Int = colquestions.Get("correctIndex")
        For Each colanswers As String In answers
        Next
        Dim correctIndex As Int = colquestions.Get("correctIndex")
    Next
        
    
    Activity.LoadLayout("QuizL")
End Sub

Try this.

I have hacked the 3 pages standard b4xpages example to do most of what you describe. It should get you started.

Cheers

I also have a quiz app.

B4XQuiz (B4A/B4i/B4J)

This is a B4XPages app. For the server, please check: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jquiz-api-server-web-service-for-b4xquiz-with-ssl.124200/

I only shared the B4J project but it’s easy to convert to B4A.
