Question

It was going good until I needed to parse the type of the place, the file is organized like this:

        "geometry" : {
        "location" : {
           "lat" : 45.7849210,
           "lng" : 11.8724490
        },
        "viewport" : {
           "northeast" : {
              "lat" : 45.81619110,
              "lng" : 11.89575470
           },
           "southwest" : {
              "lat" : 45.75432980,
              "lng" : 11.84532520
           }
        }
     },
     "icon" : "http://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/place_api/icons/geocode-71.png",
     "id" : "a454072e2ba71d4e2331e39099261f086cd11d1e",
     "name" : "Fonte",
     "reference" : "CnRtAAAAUaGSsbXRv05lApqXueEKjOAjtkpEDz07ioe3vPS9HqpOIJSTTQWYObc6o6GfEq-pzVUtKT03oRWNx6ld-rUfdat47e8W3NbSsLY1NldO9iQEUjQOM9kIIOix8xLAvqh5YHUNTAela4Mo8HGSJPPBhhIQ9j4Uy_WrQtFO7qxirA0UHRoUsmY0ngstG5BBiHQNLkLgxTpsDEY",
     "types" : [ "locality", "political" ],
     "vicinity" : "Fonte"
  },

As it is possible to notice that types is an string array I tried this approach:

  JSONArray results = o.getJSONArray("results");
  JSONObject tempObject = results.getJSONObject(0);
  JSONArray typee = tempObject.getJSONArray("types");
  String a = typee.getJSONObject(0).toString();

but it doesn’t work.Any help will be appreciated.The whole JSON can be seen here: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=45.7909,11.8700&radius=500&key=AIzaSyC9Ob9_u-2mxCHeItDHytDLmZP-P1QCejw&sensor=true.

Answer 1

JSONArray typee = tempObject.getJSONArray("types");
String a = typee.getString(0);
String b = typee.getString(1);

The above will return locality to variable a and political to variable b. Use typee.length() to find out how many elements are in the JSONArray if it’s possible that types might have a variable number of elements.
