and this is my code:

package com.example.roa.jasonhw_31116;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

TextView textView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
    JasonConn jasonConn = new JasonConn();
    jasonConn.execute("http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users");
}


public class JasonConn extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String >{


    HttpURLConnection connection = null;
    BufferedReader reader = null;
    String result = "";
    String username =  "";


    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
        try {
            URL url = new URL(params[0]);
            //  open the connection to the server (send request)
            connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            // check if response code is ok!
            if(connection.getResponseCode() != HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK){
                return "Error from server";
            }
            reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
            String line;
            if((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
                result += line;
            }

            JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(result);

            for(int i = 0; i<jArray.length(); i++){
                JSONObject jRealObj = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
                username += jRealObj.getString("username");

            }

        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return username;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String s) {

            textView.setText(username);

    }
 }
}

thanks to all!!

What exactly is the problem? "Can't get the username" is not very descriptive. — Xaver Kapeller

You are not reading the result properly.

Change

if((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
        result += line;
}

to

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            sb.append(line + "\n");
}
result = sb.toString();

just to know. i try again the solution you gave but without the
StringBuilder() and it is work good. the code look like this:

 while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                result += line + "\n";
            }

thanks again :)
