What I amtrying to do is:

for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
 JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
 System.out.println(jsonObject.getString("title"));
}

Thank you very much for your help.

• RajV: Please post a sample JSON document as test case. Thanks.
• Milos Cuculovic: Thank you for the answer, the JSON can be found here: skbf-csre.ch/apps/iphone/rss/…
• prayagupadhyay: How jsonArray is being achieved? Error at org.json.JSONArray.getJSONObject can be because what stored in jsonArray is no longer an array. Try making it JsonObject first then only jsonArray.

Answer 1

It looks like you aren't digging quite deep enough to get to your data. What you have is an array containing multiple arrays, each of which contains an object. Try this:

for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
 JSONArray innerJsonArray = jsonArray.getJSONArray(i);
 JSONObject jsonObject = innerJsonArray.getJSONObject(0);
 System.out.println(jsonObject.getString("title"));
}
