How to send JSON array containg jsonobjects to php server

Question

Hello everyone I m sorry if this has been asked earlier , i have been searching for this solution since past 3 days.I am new in android and php. I want to know how can i send "jsonArray"(shown below) to my php server and then extract jsonobject values recieved in php. I have tried jsonarrayrequest and hashmap but was not able to send. Please help.

String url="http://192.168.43.210/jjj.php";
JSONArray list;
RequestQueue requestQueue;
final JSONArray jsonArray=new JSONArray();

for (int i=0;i<valu;i++)
{
JSONObject jsonObject=new JSONObject();
try {
jsonObject.put("comptext",smslist.get(i).completeText);
jsonObject.put("amount",smslist.get(i).amount);
jsonObject.put("txntype",smslist.get(i).txnType);
jsonObject.put("party",smslist.get(i).party);
jsonObject.put("from",smslist.get(i).fromNo);
jsonObject.put("datetime",smslist.get(i).dateTime);
jsonArray.put(jsonObject);

} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}


 JsonArrayRequest jsonArrayRequest=new JsonArrayRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, new Response.Listener<JSONArray>() {
                @Override
                public void onResponse(JSONArray response) {

                    result.append("Successfully sent");
                }
            }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
                @Override
                public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {

                }
            }){
                protected Map<JSONArray,JSONArray> getparams() throws AuthFailureError{
                    Map<JSONArray,JSONArray> parameters = new HashMap<JSONArray, JSONArray>();
                    parameters.put(list,jsonArray);
                    return parameters;

                }
            };
            requestQueue.add(jsonArrayRequest);

        }


    });

Use StringRequest instead of JsonArrayRequest for example:

private void register() {

        if (!validate()) {

            onRegistrationFailed("Registration Failed");
            return;

        }
        final String name = et_username.getText().toString();
        final String email = et_email.getText().toString();
        final String phone = et_phone.getText().toString();
        final String password = et_password.getText().toString();

        showDialog();

        StringRequest strRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, Config.MAIN_URL + Config.REGISTER,
                new Response.Listener<String>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(String response) {
                        Log.d(TAG, "Register Response: " + response.toString());
                        hideDialog();
                        try {
                            JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);

                            int status = jsonObject.getInt("status");
                            String msg = jsonObject.getString("message");

                            if (status == SUCCESS) {

                                onRegistrationSuccess(name,email);

                            } else {

                                onRegistrationFailed(msg);
                            }

                        } catch (JSONException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }

                }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
            @Override
            public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                Log.e(TAG, "Registration Error: " + error.getMessage());
                hideDialog();
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                        error.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }) {
            @Override
            protected Map<String, String> getParams() {
                // Posting params to register url
                Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
                params.put(Config.KEY_USERNAME, name);
                params.put(Config.KEY_EMAIL, email);
                params.put(Config.KEY_PHONE, phone);
                params.put(Config.KEY_PASSWORD, password);
                return params;
            }

        };

        // Adding request to request queue
        AppController.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(strRequest);

    }

This is working code for login sample. so try this, and change as per your need.
