Json feed won't work in the blogreader app

I have follow de blogreader app tutorials, now i want to get my own data.

I made this: http://dev.dennis-adriaansen.nl/

with this: function checkNameExists() { $qry = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM posts WHERE firstname = 'Dennis'"; $resource = $dblink->query($qry);

$count = mysqli_fetch_array($resource);
$count = $count['0'];

if ($count[0] == 0) {
    return false;
} else {
    return true;
}

}

and change the url in the android project. But firefox json plugin seems to ignor the json code and in android: there was an error getting data from the blog.

Dennis,

After a quick look at the headers your website is returning, the problem is most likely the fact that the Content-Type header is set to "text/html" instead of "application/json".

curl --head http://dev.dennis-adriaansen.nl
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:46:29 GMT
Server: Apache/2
Vary: Accept-Encoding,User-Agent
Content-Type: text/html

Try fixing that first and see if it resolves your issues.

JSONVIEW give the following -

 {
status: "ok",
count: 1,
count_total: 1691,
pages: 1,
posts: [
{
id: "1",
title: "dennis",
author: "testlastname"
}
]
}
