This is the data i want to get to a java array (to create a dynamic table to show data).

i can get a text value using this

String response = null;
            try {
                response = CustomHttpClient.executeHttpPost("http://test.tester.com/check.php", postParameters);
                String res=response.toString();}

As from How to parse a JSON and turn its values into an Array?:

for your example:

{'profiles': [{'name':'john', 'age': 44}, {'name':'Alex','age':11}]}

you will have to do something of this effect:

JSONObject myjson = new JSONObject(the_json);
JSONArray the_json_array = myjson.getJSONArray("profiles");

this returns the array object.

Then iterating will be as follows:

    int size = the_json_array.length();
    ArrayList<JSONObject> arrays = new ArrayList<JSONObject>();
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
      JSONObject another_json_object = the_json_array.getJSONObject(i);
            //Blah blah blah...
            arrays.add(another_json_object);
    }

//Finally
JSONObject[] jsons = new JSONObject[arrays.size()];
arrays.toArray(jsons);

//The end...

You will have to determine if the data is an array (simply checking
that charAt(0) starts with [ character).

Hope this helps.
