Converting a JSON object to an equivalent in JAVA - android-async-http

Question

I am massively stuck with converting a PHP server request into an equivalent Java Request. This is the code that contains the JSON object that I need to replicate in JAVA and send from an Android device:
$(".unableprocess").click(function() {
if (!confirm("Confirm not able to process...!")) {
return false;
} else {
var item_id = $(this).attr('data-id');
var table_id = $(this).attr('table-id');
var data = {
BookOrders: {
item_id: item_id,
table_id: table_id
}
};
$.ajax({
url: //MY URL HERE ,
type: "POST",
data: data,
success: function(evt, responseText) {
location.reload();
}
});
}
});
And here is my Java class that attempts to perform the same functionality. The class extends AsyncTask and all network interactions occur in the doInBackground() method. Here is my code:
#Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(String... arg0) {
try{
HashMap<String, String> hashMap = new HashMap<String,String>();
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
int statusCode;
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(tableMateCannotProcessURL);
// JSON object creation begins here:
jsonObject.accumulate("item_id",this.itemId);
jsonObject.accumulate("table_id",this.tableId);
JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject();
jObject.accumulate("BookOrders", jsonObject);
// JSON object ends here
Log.v("ATOMIC BLAST",jObject.toString());
String json = jObject.toString();
StringEntity se = new StringEntity(json);
httpPost.setEntity(se);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpPost);
statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
Integer statusCodeInt = new Integer(statusCode);
Log.v("HTTPResponse",statusCodeInt.toString());
String result= "";
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
if (statusCode == 200) {
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
InputStream content = entity.getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(content));
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
builder.append(line);
}
result = builder.toString();
}
else {
Log.e("==>", "Failed to download file");
}
}
catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
The JSON object that I created looks like this after printing it out to the console:
{"BookOrders":{"table_id":"1","item_id":"2"}}
After POSTing this object to the server I do not get the expected response. What is the proper method for converting the JSON object into an equivalent JSON object in JAVA? Any guidance, direction or a solution would be most appreciated.

Update php to version 5.4 helped me.
In this version json_encode($x, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT) works just as needed.

Your JSON seems to be correct but it's an Object in an Object.
JSONObject json = new JSONObject(yourdata);
JSONObject jsonTable = new JSONObject(json.getString("BookOrders"));
Log.d("JsonDebug", "json:" + jsonTable.toString());
If you are not sure if you have a JSONObject or an Array you can validate it by using
String data = "{ ... }";
Object json = new JSONTokener(data).nextValue();
if (json instanceof JSONObject)
//you have an object
else if (json instanceof JSONArray)
//you have an array
