From the link posted it looks like a incomplete tutorial.
//JSON Functions cannot be resolved Error occured
So the tutorial is missing JSONFunctions class and WorldPopulation class.
Have the below and keep the rest of the code the same.
private class DownloadJSON extends AsyncTask {
{
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
world = new ArrayList();
worldlist = new ArrayList();
try
{
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpclient.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
HttpGet request = new HttpGet("http://www.androidbegin.com/tutorial/jsonparsetutorial.txt");
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(request);
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();
String _response=EntityUtils.toString(resEntity);
Log.i("Response is......................",""+_response);
jsonobject = new JSONObject(_response);
jsonarray = jsonobject.getJSONArray("worldpopulation");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonarray.length(); i++) {
jsonobject = jsonarray.getJSONObject(i);
WorldPopulation worldpop = new WorldPopulation();
worldpop.setRank(jsonobject.optString("rank"));
worldpop.setCountry(jsonobject.optString("country"));
worldpop.setPopulation(jsonobject.optString("population"));
worldpop.setFlag(jsonobject.optString("flag"));
world.add(worldpop);
worldlist.add(jsonobject.optString("country"));
}catch(Exception e)
{
}
return null;
}
Edit:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
JSONObject jsonobject;
JSONArray jsonarray;
ProgressDialog mProgressDialog;
ArrayList worldlist;
ArrayList world;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
new DownloadJSON().execute();
}
private class DownloadJSON extends AsyncTask
{
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
world = new ArrayList();
worldlist = new ArrayList();
try

httpclient.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
HttpGet request = new HttpGet("http://www.androidbegin.com/tutorial/jsonparsetutorial.txt");
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(request);
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();
String _response=EntityUtils.toString(resEntity);
Log.i("Response is......................",""+_response);
jsonobject = new JSONObject(_response);
jsonarray = jsonobject.getJSONArray("worldpopulation");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonarray.length(); i++) {
jsonobject = jsonarray.getJSONObject(i);
WorldPopulation worldpop = new WorldPopulation();
worldpop.setRank(jsonobject.optString("rank"));
worldpop.setCountry(jsonobject.optString("country"));
worldpop.setPopulation(jsonobject.optString("population"));
worldpop.setFlag(jsonobject.optString("flag"));
world.add(worldpop);
worldlist.add(jsonobject.optString("country"));
}
}catch(Exception e)
{
}
return null;
}
