I am struggling to send/receive the MQTT messages as JSON.

This is my code:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    Gson gson = new Gson();



    public static final String BROKER_URL = "tcp://iot.eclipse.org:1883";





    String userid = "12345";  //

    //We have to generate a unique Client id.

    String clientId = userid + "-sub";



    // Default sensor to listen for -

    // Change to another if you are broadcasting a different sensor name

    String sensorname = "brightness";

    String sensorTemp = "temperature";



    String topicname = userid + "/" + sensorname;

    String topicname2 = userid + "/" + sensorTemp;

    public final String TOPIC_BRIGHTNESS = userid + "/brightness";

    public final String TOPIC_TEMPERATURE = userid + "/temperature";

    public final String TOPIC_DOORLOCK = userid + "/doorlock";

    private MqttClient mqttClient;

    Button publishTemperatureBtn;

    Switch publishDoorState;

    SeekBar tempSeekBar;

    TextView tempLabel;



    SensorData oneSensor = new SensorData("unknown", "unknown");

    String oneSensorJson = new String();



    @Override

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        publishTemperatureBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.publishTemperatureBtnID);

        tempSeekBar = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.temperatureSeekBar);

        publishDoorState = (Switch) findViewById(R.id.doorSwitch);

        tempLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.temperatureLabel);



        publishTemperatureBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {

                // Code here executes on main thread after user presses button

                System.out.println("PUBLISHING");

                runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                    }

                });

            }

        });

                        }

This is what I have been tasked to do:

1. Amend the Android code to send/receive the MQTT messages as json strings representing sensor objects. You will need to include the same SensorData object that you used in the Eclipse labs, and include the Gson class in your Android project. Use sample code from the Eclipse client/server labs to remind you how to create json objects from the SensorData object, and how to extract the object data when a json object arrives.

I already have my SensorData object. The examples in Elicpse that I have are no help whatsoever. Could someone please point me in the right direction.
