Only five items load on the logCat in the BlogReader app

Hi, I have been following along with the blog reader app and when i finished parsing the data to JSON and went to check the log cat there are only five items loaded instead of 20 as in Ben's example.

``` package com.wambugu.blogreader;

import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.io.Reader; import java.net.HttpURLConnection; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import java.net.URL;

import org.json.JSONArray; import org.json.JSONObject;

import android.app.ListActivity; import android.content.Context; import android.net.ConnectivityManager; import android.net.NetworkInfo; import android.os.AsyncTask; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.view.Menu; import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainListActivity extends ListActivity { protected String[] mBlogPostTitles; public static final int NUMBER_OF_POSTS = 20; public static final String TAG = MainListActivity.class.getSimpleName();

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_list);


    if (isNetworkisAvailable()){

        GetBlogPostTask getBlogPostTask = new GetBlogPostTask();

        getBlogPostTask.execute();

    }

    else{

        Toast.makeText(this, "Network is Unavailabe", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    }

        //Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.no_items), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();


}



private boolean isNetworkisAvailable() {

    ConnectivityManager manager = (ConnectivityManager) 

            getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    NetworkInfo networkInfo = manager.getActiveNetworkInfo();


    boolean isAvailable = false;


    if(networkInfo != null && networkInfo.isConnected()){

        isAvailable = true;

    }

    return isAvailable;

}

@Override

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_list, menu);

return true;

}


private class GetBlogPostTask  extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, String> {

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(Object... arg0) {

        int responseCode = -1;

        try{

            URL blogFeedUrl = new URL("http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/api/get_recent_summary/?count=" + NUMBER_OF_POSTS);

            HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) blogFeedUrl.openConnection();

            connection.connect();
            responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();

            //--checking if the response is equal to the positive response code of 200--
            if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {

                InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream();

                Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);

                int contentLength = connection.getContentLength();

                char[] charArray = new char[contentLength];

                reader.read(charArray);

                String responseData = new String(charArray);

                JSONObject jsonResponse = new JSONObject(responseData);
                String status = jsonResponse.getString("status");
                Log.v(TAG, status);

                JSONArray jsonPosts = jsonResponse.getJSONArray("posts");

                for(int i = 0; i<jsonResponse.length();i++) {
                    JSONObject jsonPost = jsonPosts.getJSONObject(i);
                    String title = jsonPost.getString("title");
                    Log.v(TAG, "Post: " + i + title);
                }

            }

            else{

                Log.i(TAG, "Unsuccessful HTTP Response Code: " + responseCode);

            }


            }catch(MalformedURLException e) {

                Log.e(TAG, "Exception caught: ", e);

            } catch (IOException e) {

                Log.e(TAG, "Exception caught: ", e);

            }

            catch(Exception e){

                Log.e(TAG, "Exception caught: ", e);

            }

            return "Code: " + responseCode;

        }
    }

}```

and the last few line shown on the log cat, the last four show the titles loaded but only five of them

On the line for(int i = 0; i<jsonResponse.length();i++), change jsonResponse.length() to jsonPosts.length()
