I’m experiencing some problem loading a JSONArray on the Android. I’ve constructed the JSON string with Gson and I’ve checked this online to see whether it is valid. It validates on various online JSON-syntax checkers.
The JSONArray constructor I want to use seems to throw an error when I feed it with a JSONString.
The full error trace from the JSONArray(String json) constructor which causes a problem looks like this.

Here is an excerpt of the code where the error begins.
try {
JSONArray json = new JSONArray(finalString);
for(int i = 0; i < json.length(); i++){
JSONObject jsonObj = json.getJSONObject(i);
try {
Kabelskap ks = getKabelskapFromJSON(jsonObj);
skap.put(ks.objektnummer, ks);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
A System.out.println(finalString) gives me this result in the DDMS. The System.out.println() skips long parts of the text. I would presume that the DDMS LogCat is using a charset not supporting Norwegian special letters, and not writing the whole string to log.

I’ve already created a question here here, and I’ve followed up the feedback from the answers, but it seems like another problem. Anyhow, perhaps this questions may fill in some blanks.

The JSON string which is read by the system looks like this (but is longer). Should an JSON Array be encapsulated by [] for each element or just in the beginning? Is there som way of reading a JSON-collection into a JSONArray structure.

The string in your log isn’t an array (arrays in JSON are enclosed with square brackets). It’s just an object.
