Question

I am making an app in which i am getting a string as response from server side. that response is encoded in json. Now my problem is How to do json parsing of the encoded response from server side to decode it..
I am geting the following response from server

[“[e-mail]”,”[e-mail]”,”facebook_514728069″]

It is in the form of an array.I want to decde it and display as textviws in my another activity.
I am using the following code:

                          HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
                String getURL =      "http://www.ondamove.it/English/mob/profile_friends.php?email="+Login.eMailId+"";
               HttpGet get = new HttpGet(getURL);
              HttpResponse responseGet = client.execute(get);  
              HttpEntity resEntityGet = responseGet.getEntity(); 


            if (resEntityGet != null) 
            {  

            String  s = EntityUtils.toString(resEntityGet);
            System.out.println(s);


            JSONArray ids = new JSONArray(s);

            for(int i=0; i< ids.length(); i++){
                   System.out.println(ids[]); //print each of the   string in json array.
            }

but it is giving me the error :
The type of the expression must be an array type but it resolved to JSONArray

how to resolve this issue.
can anyone help me over this?
thanks

You can use JSONTokener to parse JSON documents for example:

String json = "{"
         + "  \"query\": \"Pizza\", "
         + "  \"locations\": [ 94043, 90210 ] "
         + "}";

 JSONObject object = (JSONObject) new JSONTokener(json).nextValue();
 String query = object.getString("query");
 JSONArray locations = object.getJSONArray("locations");
