Question

I just started looking at android app development. For my first test app i want to fetch a json object from a public rest api, e.g. Twitters.

Is there any way to deserialize the JSON in to an anonymous object? Or do i have to parse it manually and create a dictionary with key value pairs or something similar?

Thanks

import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.json.JSONArray;

...

final String string = getWebString(webHelper, ctx, args);

try {
    return new JSONArray(string);
} catch (JSONException e) {
    Log.e(TAG, "Malformated JSON string: " + string + ", e = " + e);
    Utils.where(e);
    return null;
}
