Sending JSON data (Twitter (Temboo)) from Processing to Arduino - json

Question

I'm working on a student project and trying to send JSON data (based on the twitter hashtag '#tune') from Processing to Arduino, but the method 'myPort.write(status);' isn't usable with JSON, I've looked around online but not sure what command to use - Am I on the right track? Here's the code:
Processing:
import processing.serial.*; //Serial connection for Arduino
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import com.temboo.core.*; // Temboo library
import com.temboo.Library.Twitter.Search.*; // Temboo Twitter search library
// Create a session using your Temboo account application details
TembooSession session = new TembooSession("MYUSERNAME", "MYTEMBOOAPPNAME", "MYTEMBOOCODE");
// Setup objects
Serial myPort; // Create object from Serial class
int portNo = 7; // Define portNo as int
int baudRate = 9600; // Define baudRate as int
void setup() {
// Run the Tweets Choreo function
runTweetsChoreo();
String portName = Serial.list()[portNo]; // Setup String for port ([7] is the port number for my machine)
myPort = new Serial(this, portName, baudRate); // Setting up serial port
}
void runTweetsChoreo() {
// Create the Choreo object using your Temboo session
Tweets tweetsChoreo = new Tweets(session);
// Set credential
tweetsChoreo.setCredential("ArduinoUkulele");
// Set inputs
// Run the Choreo and store the results
TweetsResultSet tweetsResults = tweetsChoreo.run();
// retrieve the results as JSON
JSONObject results = parseJSONObject(tweetsResults.getResponse());
// retrieve the statuses from the results
JSONArray statuses = results.getJSONArray("statuses");
// loop through the statuses
for (int i = 0; i < statuses.size(); i++){
JSONObject status = statuses.getJSONObject(i);
println(status.getString("text"));
println(" -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ");
myPort.write(status); // THIS IS THE CODE NOT WORKING WITH JSON
}
}
Arduino:
char val; // Data received from the serial port
int ledPin = 13; // Set the pin to digital I/O 13
void setup(){
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set pin as OUTPUT
Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication at 9600 bps
}
void loop(){
if (Serial.available()) { // If data is available to read,
val = Serial.read(); // read it and store it in val
Serial.println(val);
delay(10); // Wait 10 milliseconds for next reading
}
}
I'm sure I'm just looking for a certain command - once I've received the data I'm just looking to turn the LED on based on a new hashtag being receieved. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

write() method cannot take JSONObject as input, only byte[], String. But you already have everything you need: just use getString() method as you are doing it two lines above (using appropriate key string, which you should know from API that you are using on top of JSON):
myPort.write(status.getString("text"));
