Closed 7 years ago.

I want to parse JSON which looks like this:

{
 "A": [
 [
 "content1"
 ],
 [
 "content2"
 ]
 ]
}

I need content1 and content2 as a String.

What I tried

String content = object.getString("A");

but with this I get a String which includes content1 and content2.
I need it seperated because I add it to GridView later.

This is not a duplicate of the question which is marked, look at the JSON it is different.

• Manohar: that is invalid json
• Hannes: There was a ] missed, I added it.
• MeetTitan: Use a json library like gson then deserialize to an object that you can call a custom getter on.

Answer 1

It should be object.getJSONArray("A"), store it in some variable.

JSONArray someArray = object.getJSONArray("A");

and than you can traverse through JSONArray to get its values

• Hannes: Okay but I have to define [0] [1] etc? The problem is there can be a lot of Arrays and not only one or two.
• Ravi: If it is array you can use for loop for that, if it is object you can access it with key name
• Vivek Mishra: @Hannes jsonarray is similar to normal arrays. You can use a normal for loop to iterate through it
• AskNilesh: @Hannes check this stackoverflow.com/a/30586115/7666442
• Hannes: I receive it as single array now. Should I remove [" and "] manually?
