The following code examples demonstrate where and how to use nested classes in your interfaces. It may look a bit strange at first, an interface with a nested class but after following the examples below it should make sense and you'll see how it fits together. The main thing to come away with is that the interface strictly types the classes tha…
import java.util.*;
public interface Input {
public class KeyEvent {
public static final int KEY_DOWN = 0;
public static final int KEY_UP = 1;
public int type;
public int keyCode;
public char keyChar;

An example of creating a JSON string representation of an object with a nested object using the Gson library from Google. You will need to add the google-gson library as a dependency. Available here -> https://code.google.com/p/google-gson/
package net.tomlins.testapplication.json;
import com.google.gson.*;
public class JavaObjToGSONStringExample {
public static void main(String... args) {
JavaObjToGSONStringExample app = new JavaObjToGSONStringExample();
System.out.println(app.toGSONStringExample());

A simple JSON reader I use for Android that reads a stream from a given URL and returns a org.json.JSONObject. You can optionally provide time-out values for socket and connection. Returns null if unsuccessful. You can remove the Android logging to use this elsewhere.
