building a weather app course

Hi,

I am following the 'Build a weather app' course and find some difficulties with the JSON files.

When running this code the icon resource acquired is a null value.

private CurrentWeather getCurrentDetails(String jsonData) throws JSONException {
    JSONObject forecast = new JSONObject(jsonData);
    String timeZone =forecast.getString("timezone");
    Log.i(TAG,"From JSON: " + timeZone);

    JSONObject currently = forecast.getJSONObject("currently");

    CurrentWeather currentWeather = new CurrentWeather();
    currentWeather.setHumidity(currently.getDouble("humidity"));
    currentWeather.setTime(currently.getLong("time"));
    currentWeather.setIcon(currently.getString("icon"));
    currentWeather.setPrecipitation(currently.getDouble("precipProbability"));
    currentWeather.setSummary(currently.getString("summary"));
    currentWeather.setTemperature(currently.getDouble("temperature"));
    //currentWeather.setTtimeZone(currently.getString(timeZone));
    currentWeather.setTtimeZone(timeZone);


    Log.d(TAG, currentWeather.getFormattedTime());

    return new CurrentWeather();
}

Does anyone know how to solve it and get a true value from the JSON file? Thanks

can you post the json?

currently: 
{
"time":1454814475,
"summary":"Partly Cloudy",
"icon":"partly-cloudy-night",
"nearestStormDistance":6,
"nearestStormBearing":122,
"precipIntensity":0,
"precipProbability":0,
"temperature":57.53,
"apparentTemperature":57.53,
"dewPoint":46.79,
"humidity":0.67,
"windSpeed":2.19,
"windBearing":318,
"visibility":8.34,
"cloudCover":0.43,
"pressure":1026.74,
"ozone":295.73
}

this is how I did it.

   private Current getCurrentDetails(String jsonData) throws JSONException {
        JSONObject forecast = new JSONObject(jsonData);
        String timezone = forecast.getString("timezone");

        JSONObject currently = forecast.getJSONObject("currently");

        Current current = new Current();
        current.setHumidity(currently.getDouble("humidity"));
        current.setTime(currently.getLong("time"));
        current.setIcon(currently.getString("icon"));
        current.setPrecipChance(currently.getDouble("precipProbability"));
        current.setSummary(currently.getString("summary"));
        current.setTempature(currently.getDouble("temperature"));
        current.setTimeZone(timezone);

        Log.d(TAG, current.getFormattedTime());

        Log.i(TAG, "From JSON: " + timezone);

        return current;
    }
