How to parse JSON Array (Not Json Object) in Android

use the following snippet to parse the JsonArray.

JSONArray jsonarray = new JSONArray(jsonStr);
for (int i = 0; i < jsonarray.length(); i++) {
    JSONObject jsonobject = jsonarray.getJSONObject(i);
    String name = jsonobject.getString("name");
    String url = jsonobject.getString("url");
}

I'll just give a little Jackson example:

First create a data holder which has the fields from JSON string

// imports
// ...
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class MyDataHolder {
    @JsonProperty("name")
    public String mName;

    @JsonProperty("url")
    public String mUrl;
}

And parse list of MyDataHolders

String jsonString = // your json
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
List<MyDataHolder> list = mapper.readValue(jsonString, 
    new TypeReference<ArrayList<MyDataHolder>>() {});

Using list items

String firstName = list.get(0).mName;
String secondName = list.get(1).mName;

public static void main(String[] args) throws JSONException {
    String str = "[{\"name\":\"name1\",\"url\":\"url1\"},{\"name\":\"name2\",\"url\":\"url2\"}]";

    JSONArray jsonarray = new JSONArray(str);


    for(int i=0; i<jsonarray.length(); i++){
        JSONObject obj = jsonarray.getJSONObject(i);

        String name = obj.getString("name");
        String url = obj.getString("url");

        System.out.println(name);
        System.out.println(url);
    }   
}   

Output:

name1
url1
name2
url2

Create a class to hold the objects.

public class Person{
   private String name;
   private String url;
   //Get & Set methods for each field
}

Then deserialize as follows:

Gson gson = new Gson();
Person[] person = gson.fromJson(input, Person[].class); //input is your String

In this example there are several objects inside one json array. That is,

This is the json array: [{"name":"name1","url":"url1"},{"name":"name2","url":"url2"},...]

This is one object: {"name":"name1","url":"url1"}

Assuming that you have got the result to a String variable called jSonResultString:

JSONArray arr = new JSONArray(jSonResultString);

  //loop through each object
  for (int i=0; i<arr.length(); i++){

  JSONObject jsonProductObject = arr.getJSONObject(i);
  String name = jsonProductObject.getString("name");
  String url = jsonProductObject.getString("url");


}
