Question

I have this JSON string:

   [{"user_id":"123","email":"[e-mail]","lat":"40.748329","lng":"-73.996223",
                    "first_name":"Alex","last_name":"Genadinik"}]

and this Java Code:

            try
            {
                JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(result);

                Log.d( "NAME: " , "test: " + obj.getString("first_name") );       

            }
            catch ( Exception e )
            {
                Log.d( "JSON ERRORZ: " , "some crap happened " + e.getMessage() );  
            }

But it throws this error:

[{"last_name":"Genadinik","first_name":"Alex","lng":"-73.996223","user_id":"1","email":"[e-mail]","lat":"40.748329"}] of type org.json.JSONArray cannot be converted to JSONObject

Any idea how I can fix this and simply just extract the values in the JSON?

Thanks!

Answer 1

This JSON string is an array, not object, not the square brackets at the beginning (look here). Use JSONArray instead, and extract the JSONObjects from it.
