ListPicker with an API

[sschucktown]

Hey Guys,

I have an API/listPicker problem.  I have a Google Custom search engine and when I query the Api it returns 10 results.  I have a function in AI2 set up to parse the JSON and return it to a list view.  I am using the (I'd paste the blocks but I am not in front of my computer ATM)  listview.elemensFromSring->join->select list item list->select list item list->etc....

type of set up to find only the url of each result in the list of lists from JSON.  It is working fine except it posts them all as a single list item in the ListView class.  I want to parse them to a "ListPicker" class where each URL is its' own select able item.  

I don't know if i can do that with the multiple index approach via http://www.newthinktank.com/2014/02/android-development-beginners-10/weatherapp3blocks/

 or if I need to use a scrapping approach via https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-lFRRPzsi5N0/UvBM9E_gZMI/AAAAAAAAKBQ/AuqDPGlwXNg/s1600/composite.png

I've tried both but can't seem to get it to parse into either the listview or listpicker.  Let me know what you all think.  Thank you

I would use the lookup in pairs block, see also this example

you might want to provide an example JSON result, so we can better understand, what you are talking about 

It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.

Thanks Taifun.  That is getting me a little closer I think.  Also, what is the easiest way to post the blocks.  I have a very long block that I would like to post but it wont all fit into a screen shot.

just post the relavant part 

and if you are talking about the JSON result, please post it as text into the thread
