Update elements in a JSONObject

Use the put method: https://developer.android.com/reference/org/json/JSONObject.html

JSONObject person =  jsonArray.getJSONObject(0).getJSONObject("person");
person.put("name", "Sammie");

Remove key and then add again the modified key, value pair as shown below :

    JSONObject js = new JSONObject();
    js.put("name", "rai");

    js.remove("name");
    js.put("name", "abc");

I haven't used your example; but conceptually its same.


Hello I can suggest you universal method. use recursion.

    public static JSONObject function(JSONObject obj, String keyMain,String valueMain, String newValue) throws Exception {
    // We need to know keys of Jsonobject
    JSONObject json = new JSONObject()
    Iterator iterator = obj.keys();
    String key = null;
    while (iterator.hasNext()) {
        key = (String) iterator.next();
        // if object is just string we change value in key
        if ((obj.optJSONArray(key)==null) && (obj.optJSONObject(key)==null)) {
            if ((key.equals(keyMain)) && (obj.get(key).toString().equals(valueMain))) {
                // put new value
                obj.put(key, newValue);
                return obj;
            }
        }

        // if it's jsonobject
        if (obj.optJSONObject(key) != null) {
            function(obj.getJSONObject(key), keyMain, valueMain, newValue);
        }

        // if it's jsonarray
        if (obj.optJSONArray(key) != null) {
            JSONArray jArray = obj.getJSONArray(key);
            for (int i=0;i<jArray.length();i++) {
                    function(jArray.getJSONObject(i), keyMain, valueMain, newValue);
            }
        }
    }
    return obj;
}

It should work. If you have questions, go ahead.. I'm ready.
