title: how do i get my JSON into android listview?
body: <p>I'm a new programmer and I'm making an app which can get data from MYSQL to php and then display on android. I've been trying to find a solution but none of the tutorials I've seen so far seems to work for me, I've only managed to get one object from json into a single textview. But what I really need is to get data to be displayed on individual rows on listview.</p>
  
  <p>here's my JSON output,</p>
  
  <pre><code> [{"id":"1","name":"darrel","password":"pass1234"},{"id":"2","name":"garrett","password":"important"},{"id":"3","name":"neoys","password":"yseniopass"},{"id":"4","name":"john","password":"mikel123"},{"id":"5","name":"owen","password":"mike4l"}]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and my java code which gets only one of the users displayed onto a textview.</p>
