Anyone ever tried sending a simple json command from an app?

[Timmiej93]

So has anyone ever tried creating a simple app that sends a json command to control domoticz on a buttonpress? I've been looking all over the internet for something that just does the same as 'curl' does in shell/bash, but it doesn't seem to exist.
I'm pretty new to Android developing, so I don't need anything fancy by a long stretch, I simply need a proof of concept. Something that just has a button which I can click, which sends out a json command, like setting the brightness of a lamp.

If anyone can help me, or point me in the right direction, that would be truly awesome. I've asked the same question on some other forums, but the general response is "You're stupid, just look it up", but I haven't got a clue what to look for.

Take a look at domoticz-android source code. I believe it uses JSON. https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz-android

Thank you. I will go through that, but I can barely make out what everything does, so it'll be hard for me to find out what everything actually does.
So if anyone has more tips / examples on a simple way to send the JSON command, that would be great.

Don't know thing about Android programming, but how about this?

So google is your friend...

Well, like I said, I don't really know what I'm looking for. I've actually seen that first post so often, but never realised it could be of any use (I've literally seen hundreds of pages in my search, so I've overlooked some stuff probably.
I'll have a look into it tomorrow, thanks.
