Question

I have this string that gets passed from the server:

{\"error\":\"email_in_diff_account\"}

It is created in PHP like this:

$post_data = array('error' => "email_in_diff_account");

echo json_encode($post_data);

But when I try to parse it like this in JAVA:

JSONArray obj = new JSONArray(result);

It causes the following exception.

org.json.JSONObject cannot be converted to JSONArray

Would anyone know how to fix this? Am I not creating the JSON correctly in php?

If you’re using http://www.json.org/javadoc/org/json/JSONArray.html

You are trying to parse an array but you are passing it an object, you should use http://www.json.org/javadoc/org/json/JSONObject.html

JSONObject json = new JSONObject(result);
