Question

I’m trying to play around with Android development, but I can’t seem to get passed this error when I try to parse some JSON coming from an API:

org.json.JSONException: Value true at 0 of type java.lang.Boolean cannot be converted to JSONObject

So, it can’t handle “true”? That just seems silly. Here’s the first part of the response, where it’s failing:

[true,{"total":84,"results": ...

And here’s how I’m trying to do the parsing:

new JSONArray(json);

Hi Phil this is an example…

int mytotal;
if (result instanceof JSONArray) {
    JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray) result;       
     JSONObject jo = jsonArray.getJSONObject(0);
      mytotal = jo.getInt("total");
    }
