Question

What my application Does:
I have implemented facebook login for my website. And i want to save some user info from facebook graph api which i am getting response through Json.

My problem:
I am able to print some Individual values from json response but unable to print values which are nested inside the array.
How can i print the child values from json response?

       *Please see my code below. There i am able to print users info like name and id.
         But unable to get the location of  user from json response.*

Json Output:

        --responseBody---{"id":"100003645579131","name":"Ashutosh Singh","first_name":"Ashutosh","location":{"id":"106377336067638","name":"Bangalore, India"}}
        ---json---{"work":[{"position":{"id":"140001066034322","name":"Senior Inspector"},"location":{"id":"106377336067638","name":"Bangalore, India"},"name":"Ashutosh Singh","last_name":"Singh","gender":"male"}

My code to print above values:

String newUrl = "https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=" + accessToken;
            httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(newUrl);
            System.out.println("Get info from facebook --> executing request: "+ httpget.getURI()); 
            ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
            String responseBody = httpclient.execute(httpget, responseHandler);
               System.out.println("--responseBody---"+responseBody);
            json = (JSONObject) JSONSerializer.toJSON(responseBody);
            System.out.println("---json---"+json);
            facebookId = json.getString("id");//this values are printing fine
            String firstName = json.getString("first_name");//this values are printing fine
            String lastName = json.getString("last_name");//this values are printing fine

            String location=json.getJSONArray("location").toString(); //Unable to print information. Plz give help me. I want to print the location name from the json results.

            System.out.println("locale:"+location); //Unable to print

As you can see from JSON, location is not a JSON Array , but a JSON Object. You are using getJSONArray() to retrieve it. Use getJSONObject() instead.
