How to make a dictionary application using Oxford Dictionary api?

This is the code which I got from the documentations, I get that, I receive the result in JSON format. But I only need the meaning of the word. So can anyone tell me how do I extract only the meaning of the searched word, rather getting the whole JSON file. I am new to android development, Please help me.
package com.example.hsekar.dictionarytestbeta;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
new CallbackTask().execute(dictionaryEntries());
}
private String dictionaryEntries() {
final String language = "en";
final String word = "Ace";
final String word_id = word.toLowerCase(); //word id is case sensitive and lowercase is required
return "https://od-api.oxforddictionaries.com:443/api/v1/entries/" + language + "/" + word_id;
}
//in android calling network requests on the main thread forbidden by default
//create class to do async job
private class CallbackTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
//TODO: replace with your own app id and app key
final String app_id = "10742428";
final String app_key = "ada344f3a7a7c7de0315fb78c5c9d6f9";
try {
URL url = new URL(params[0]);
HttpsURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept","application/json");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("app_id",app_id);
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("app_key",app_key);
// read the output from the server
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuilder.append(line + "\n");
}
return stringBuilder.toString();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return e.toString();
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
Log.d("This will be my result",result);
}
}
}
The following is my output. I am just printing it in the Logcat but once I get the concept , I will start working on the project.
This will be my result: {

So my question is how do I extract only the 'meaning' part from this output?

The Json result that you have mentioned is incomplete.the objects in the result are not closed.By the way this is how you get the results from json string.
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
try {
JSONObject js = new JSONObject(result);
JSONArray results = js.getJSONArray("results");
for(int i = 0;i<results.length();i++){
JSONObject lentries = results.getJSONObject(i);
JSONArray la = lentries.getJSONArray("lexicalEntries");
for(int j=0;j<la.length();j++){
JSONObject entries = la.getJSONObject(j);
JSONArray e = entries.getJSONArray("entries");
for(int i1=0;i1<e.length();i1++){
JSONObject senses = la.getJSONObject(i1);
JSONArray s = entries.getJSONArray("senses");
JSONObject d = s.getJSONObject(0);
JSONArray de = d.getJSONArray("definitions");
def = de.getString(0);
}
}
}
Log.e("def",def);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
//Log.d("This will be my result",result);
String def = "";
try {
JSONObject js = new JSONObject(result);
JSONArray results = js.getJSONArray("results");
for (int i = 0; i < results.length(); i++) {
JSONObject lentries = results.getJSONObject(i);
JSONArray la = lentries.getJSONArray("lexicalEntries");
for (int j = 0; j < la.length(); j++) {
JSONObject entries = la.getJSONObject(j);
JSONArray e = entries.getJSONArray("entries");
for (int k= 0; k < e.length(); k++) {
JSONObject senses = e.getJSONObject(k);
JSONArray s = senses.getJSONArray("senses");
JSONObject d = s.getJSONObject(0);
JSONArray de = d.getJSONArray("definitions");
def = de.getString(0);
}
}
}
Log.e("def", def);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
//Log.d("This will be my result",result);
}

How to parse login response in android?

I am confused about parsing so I want to know about how to parse. Whenever I login with valid login id and password give response
{
"data": {
"status": "1",
"Full Name": [
{
"user_id": 1,
"user_name": "deepika#soms.in",
"full_name": "",
"display_name": "",
"token": "",
"photo_url": "http://clients.vfactor.in/putt2gether/images/profile/default.jpg"
}
],
"Event": [
{
"latest_event_id": "",
"format_id": ""
}
],
"msg": "Success Login"
}
}
and if invalid login id then give response
{
"Error": {
"msg": "Please Enter valid Email Address"
}

try {
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(response);
if (obj.has("Error")) {
JSONObject objError = obj.getJSONObject("Error");
} else if (obj.has("data")) {
JSONObject objData = obj.getJSONObject("data");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

You need to parse the json answer.
There are many sources to learn how to do that:
Oracle documentation
Jackson documentation - Jackson is a library to parse json
GSon documentation - Another json parser

Let's assume response be,
String response;
try
{
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
if (jsonObject.has("data"))
{
JSONObject jsonObjData = jsonObject.getJSONObject("data");
String status = jsonObject.getString("status");
JSONArray jsonArrayName = jsonObjData.getJSONArray("Full Name");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArrayName.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObj = jsonArrayName.getJSONObject(i);
Integer user_id = jsonObj.getInt("user_id");
String user_name = jsonObj.getString("user_name");
String full_name = jsonObj.getString("full_name");
String display_name = jsonObj.getString("display_name");
String photo_url = jsonObj.getString("photo_url");
}
JSONArray jsonArrayEvent = jsonObjData.getJSONArray("Event");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArrayEvent.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObj = jsonArrayEvent.getJSONObject(i);
String latest_event_id = jsonObj.getString("latest_event_id");
String format_id = jsonObj.getString("format_id");
}
String msg = jsonObject.getString("msg");
} else if (jsonObject.has("Error")) {
JSONObject jsonObjError = jsonObject.getJSONObject("Error");
String msg = jsonObjError.getString("msg");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

How to parse this type of JSON in Java?

How do I fetch the third leaveTypeId and year from leaveInfo?
{
"statusCode":"1001",
"message":"Success",
"response":{
"leaveInfo":[
{
"leaveTypeId":1,
"year":2014
},
{
"leaveTypeId":2,
"year":2014
},
{
"leaveTypeId":3,
"year":2014,
},
{
"leaveTypeId":4,
"year":2014
},
{
"leaveTypeId":5,
"year":2014
},
{
"leaveTypeId":6,
"year":2014
}
]
}
}
I did this to achieve my need
JSONObject jobj1 = new JSONObject(result);
String statusCode = jobj1.getString("statusCode");
if (statusCode.equalsIgnoreCase("1001"))
{
String response = jobj1.getString("response");
JSONObject jobj2 = new JSONObject(response);
String leaveInfo = jobj2.getString("leaveInfo");
System.out.println("leaveInfo: "+leaveInfo);
}
I don't know how to go further as there are no key values for the arrays inside leaveInfo. Please help me in this regard.

Use this
JSONObject jobj1 = new JSONObject(result);
String statusCode = jobj1.getString("statusCode");
if (statusCode.equalsIgnoreCase("1001"))
{
String response = jobj1.getString("response");
JSONObject jobj2 = new JSONObject(response);
JSONArray ary=jobj2.getJSONArray("leaveInfo");
for(int i=0;i<ary.length;i++){
JSONObject obj=ary.getJSONObject(i);
String leaveInfo=obj.getString("leaveTypeId");
System.out.println("leaveInfo: "+leaveInfo);
}
}
I hope this will help to you :)

How can I parse a local JSON file from assets folder into a ListView?

I'm currently developing a physics app that is supposed to show a list of formulas and even solve some of them (the only problem is the ListView)
This is my main layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:measureWithLargestChild="false"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".CatList">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/titlebar">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/Title1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="#string/app_name"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:textColor="#ff1c00"
android:textIsSelectable="false" />
</RelativeLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listFormulas"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
And this is my main activity
package com.wildsushii.quickphysics;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.res.AssetManager;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class CatList extends Activity {
public static String AssetJSONFile(String filename, Context context) throws IOException {
AssetManager manager = context.getAssets();
InputStream file = manager.open(filename);
byte[] formArray = new byte[file.available()];
file.read(formArray);
file.close();
return new String(formArray);
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_cat_list);
ListView categoriesL = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listFormulas);
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> formList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
Context context = null;
try {
String jsonLocation = AssetJSONFile("formules.json", context);
JSONObject formArray = (new JSONObject()).getJSONObject("formules");
String formule = formArray.getString("formule");
String url = formArray.getString("url");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
//My problem is here!!
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.cat_list, menu);
return true;
}
}
I actually know I can make this without using JSON but I need more practice parsing JSON. By the way, this is the JSON
{
"formules": [
{
"formule": "Linear Motion",
"url": "qp1"
},
{
"formule": "Constant Acceleration Motion",
"url": "qp2"
},
{
"formule": "Projectile Motion",
"url": "qp3"
},
{
"formule": "Force",
"url": "qp4"
},
{
"formule": "Work, Power, Energy",
"url": "qp5"
},
{
"formule": "Rotary Motion",
"url": "qp6"
},
{
"formule": "Harmonic Motion",
"url": "qp7"
},
{
"formule": "Gravity",
"url": "qp8"
},
{
"formule": "Lateral and Longitudinal Waves",
"url": "qp9"
},
{
"formule": "Sound Waves",
"url": "qp10"
},
{
"formule": "Electrostatics",
"url": "qp11"
},
{
"formule": "Direct Current",
"url": "qp12"
},
{
"formule": "Magnetic Field",
"url": "qp13"
},
{
"formule": "Alternating Current",
"url": "qp14"
},
{
"formule": "Thermodynamics",
"url": "qp15"
},
{
"formule": "Hydrogen Atom",
"url": "qp16"
},
{
"formule": "Optics",
"url": "qp17"
},
{
"formule": "Modern Physics",
"url": "qp18"
},
{
"formule": "Hydrostatics",
"url": "qp19"
},
{
"formule": "Astronomy",
"url": "qp20"
}
]
}
I have tried a lot of things and even delete the entire project to make a new one :(

As Faizan describes in their answer here:
First of all read the Json File from your assests file using below code.
and then you can simply read this string return by this function as
public String loadJSONFromAsset() {
String json = null;
try {
InputStream is = getActivity().getAssets().open("yourfilename.json");
int size = is.available();
byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
is.read(buffer);
is.close();
json = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
return json;
}
and use this method like that
try {
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(loadJSONFromAsset());
JSONArray m_jArry = obj.getJSONArray("formules");
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> formList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
HashMap<String, String> m_li;
for (int i = 0; i < m_jArry.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jo_inside = m_jArry.getJSONObject(i);
Log.d("Details-->", jo_inside.getString("formule"));
String formula_value = jo_inside.getString("formule");
String url_value = jo_inside.getString("url");
//Add your values in your `ArrayList` as below:
m_li = new HashMap<String, String>();
m_li.put("formule", formula_value);
m_li.put("url", url_value);
formList.add(m_li);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
For further details regarding JSON Read HERE

With Kotlin have this extension function to read the file return as string.
fun AssetManager.readAssetsFile(fileName : String): String = open(fileName).bufferedReader().use{it.readText()}
Parse the output string using any JSON parser.

{ // json object node
"formules": [ // json array formules
{ // json object
"formule": "Linear Motion", // string
"url": "qp1"
}
What you are doing
Context context = null; // context is null
try {
String jsonLocation = AssetJSONFile("formules.json", context);
So change to
try {
String jsonLocation = AssetJSONFile("formules.json", CatList.this);
To parse
I believe you get the string from the assests folder.
try
{
String jsonLocation = AssetJSONFile("formules.json", context);
JSONObject jsonobject = new JSONObject(jsonLocation);
JSONArray jarray = (JSONArray) jsonobject.getJSONArray("formules");
for(int i=0;i<jarray.length();i++)
{
JSONObject jb =(JSONObject) jarray.get(i);
String formula = jb.getString("formule");
String url = jb.getString("url");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Just summarising #libing's answer with a sample that worked for me.
val gson = Gson()
val todoItem: TodoItem = gson.fromJson(this.assets.readAssetsFile("versus.json"), TodoItem::class.java)
private fun AssetManager.readAssetsFile(fileName : String): String = open(fileName).bufferedReader().use{it.readText()}
Without this extension function the same can be achieved by using BufferedReader and InputStreamReader this way:
val i: InputStream = this.assets.open("versus.json")
val br = BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(i))
val todoItem: TodoItem = gson.fromJson(br, TodoItem::class.java)

Method to read JSON file from Assets folder and return as a string object.
public static String getAssetJsonData(Context context) {
String json = null;
try {
InputStream is = context.getAssets().open("myJson.json");
int size = is.available();
byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
is.read(buffer);
is.close();
json = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
Log.e("data", json);
return json;
}
Now for parsing data in your activity:-
String data = getAssetJsonData(getApplicationContext());
Type type = new TypeToken<Your Data model>() {
}.getType();
<Your Data model> modelObject = new Gson().fromJson(data, type);

If you are using Kotlin in android then you can create Extension function.
Extension Functions are defined outside of any class - yet they reference the class name and can use this. In our case we use applicationContext.
So in Utility class you can define all extension functions.
Utility.kt
fun Context.loadJSONFromAssets(fileName: String): String {
return applicationContext.assets.open(fileName).bufferedReader().use { reader ->
reader.readText()
}
}
MainActivity.kt
You can define private function for load JSON data from assert like this:
lateinit var facilityModelList: ArrayList<FacilityModel>
private fun bindJSONDataInFacilityList() {
facilityModelList = ArrayList<FacilityModel>()
val facilityJsonArray = JSONArray(loadJSONFromAsserts("NDoH_facility_list.json")) // Extension Function call here
for (i in 0 until facilityJsonArray.length()){
val facilityModel = FacilityModel()
val facilityJSONObject = facilityJsonArray.getJSONObject(i)
facilityModel.Facility = facilityJSONObject.getString("Facility")
facilityModel.District = facilityJSONObject.getString("District")
facilityModel.Province = facilityJSONObject.getString("Province")
facilityModel.Subdistrict = facilityJSONObject.getString("Facility")
facilityModel.code = facilityJSONObject.getInt("code")
facilityModel.gps_latitude = facilityJSONObject.getDouble("gps_latitude")
facilityModel.gps_longitude = facilityJSONObject.getDouble("gps_longitude")
facilityModelList.add(facilityModel)
}
}
You have to pass facilityModelList in your ListView
FacilityModel.kt
class FacilityModel: Serializable {
var District: String = ""
var Facility: String = ""
var Province: String = ""
var Subdistrict: String = ""
var code: Int = 0
var gps_latitude: Double= 0.0
var gps_longitude: Double= 0.0
}
In my case JSON response start with JSONArray
[
{
"code": 875933,
"Province": "Eastern Cape",
"District": "Amathole DM",
"Subdistrict": "Amahlathi LM",
"Facility": "Amabele Clinic",
"gps_latitude": -32.6634,
"gps_longitude": 27.5239
},
{
"code": 455242,
"Province": "Eastern Cape",
"District": "Amathole DM",
"Subdistrict": "Amahlathi LM",
"Facility": "Burnshill Clinic",
"gps_latitude": -32.7686,
"gps_longitude": 27.055
}
]

Using OKIO
implementation("com.squareup.okio:okio:3.0.0-alpha.4")
With Java:
public static String readJsonFromAssets(Context context, String filePath) {
try {
InputStream input = context.getAssets().open(filePath);
BufferedSource source = Okio.buffer(Okio.source(input));
return source.readByteString().string(Charset.forName("utf-8"));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
With Kotlin:
fun readJsonFromAssets(context: Context, filePath: String): String? {
try {
val source = context.assets.open(filePath).source().buffer()
return source.readByteString().string(Charset.forName("utf-8"))
} catch (e: IOException) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
return null
}
and then...
String data = readJsonFromAssets(context, "json/some.json"); //here is my file inside the folder assets/json/some.json
Type reviewType = new TypeToken<List<Object>>() {}.getType();
if (data != null) {
Object object = new Gson().fromJson(data, reviewType);
}

You have to write a function to read the Json File from your assests folder.
public String loadJSONFile() {
String json = null;
try {
InputStream inputStream = getAssets().open("yourfilename.json");
int size = inputStream.available();
byte[] byteArray = new byte[size];
inputStream.read(byteArray);
inputStream.close();
json = new String(byteArray, "UTF-8");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
return json;
}

I validated this String online, it seems to be correct. Now I am using the following code in android development to utilise
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(readlocationFeed);
This throws exception a type mismatch Exception.

Here you get JSONObject so change this line:
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(readlocationFeed);
with following:
JSONObject jsnobject = new JSONObject(readlocationFeed);
and after
JSONArray jsonArray = jsnobject.getJSONArray("locations");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject explrObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
}

Input String
[
{
"userName": "sandeep",
"age": 30
},
{
"userName": "vivan",
"age": 5
}
]
Simple Way to Convert String to JSON
public class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws JSONException
{
String data = "[{\"userName\": \"sandeep\",\"age\":30},{\"userName\": \"vivan\",\"age\":5}] ";
JSONArray jsonArr = new JSONArray(data);
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArr.length(); i++)
{
JSONObject jsonObj = jsonArr.getJSONObject(i);
System.out.println(jsonObj);
}
}
}
Output
{"userName":"sandeep","age":30}
{"userName":"vivan","age":5}

Using json lib:-
String data="[{"A":"a","B":"b","C":"c","D":"d","E":"e","F":"f","G":"g"}]";
Object object=null;
JSONArray arrayObj=null;
JSONParser jsonParser=new JSONParser();
object=jsonParser.parse(data);
arrayObj=(JSONArray) object;
System.out.println("Json object :: "+arrayObj);
Using GSON lib:-
Gson gson = new Gson();
String data="[{\"A\":\"a\",\"B\":\"b\",\"C\":\"c\",\"D\":\"d\",\"E\":\"e\",\"F\":\"f\",\"G\":\"g\"}]";
JsonParser jsonParser = new JsonParser();
JsonArray jsonArray = (JsonArray) jsonParser.parse(data);

you will need to convert given string to JSONObject instead of JSONArray because current String contain JsonObject as root element instead of JsonArray :
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(readlocationFeed);

String b = "[" + readlocationFeed + "]";
JSONArray jsonArray1 = new JSONArray(b);
jsonarray_length1 = jsonArray1.length();
for (int i = 0; i < jsonarray_length1; i++) {
}
or convert it in JSONOBJECT
JSONObject jsonobj = new JSONObject(readlocationFeed);
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonobj.getJSONArray("locations");

Try this piece of code:
try {
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in convert String" + result.toString());
JSONObject json_data = new JSONObject(result);
String status = json_data.getString("Status");
{
String data = json_data.getString("locations");
JSONArray json_data1 = new JSONArray(data);
for (int i = 0; i < json_data1.length(); i++) {
json_data = json_data1.getJSONObject(i);
String lat = json_data.getString("lat");
String lng = json_data.getString("long");
}
}
}

if the response is like this
"GetDataResult": "[{\"UserID\":1,\"DeviceID\":\"d1254\",\"MobileNO\":\"056688\",\"Pak1\":true,\"pak2\":true,\"pak3\":false,\"pak4\":true,\"pak5\":true,\"pak6\":false,\"pak7\":false,\"pak8\":true,\"pak9\":false,\"pak10\":true,\"pak11\":false,\"pak12\":false}]"
you can parse like this
JSONObject jobj=new JSONObject(response);
String c = jobj.getString("GetDataResult");
JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(c);
deviceId=jArray.getJSONObject(0).getString("DeviceID");
here the JsonArray size is 1.Otherwise you should use for loop for getting values.

It's a very simple way to convert:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.google.gson.JsonArray;
import com.google.gson.JsonElement;
import com.google.gson.JsonParser;
class Usuario {
private String username;
private String email;
private Integer credits;
private String twitter_username;
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
public Integer getCredits() {
return credits;
}
public void setCredits(Integer credits) {
this.credits = credits;
}
public String getTwitter_username() {
return twitter_username;
}
public void setTwitter_username(String twitter_username) {
this.twitter_username = twitter_username;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "UserName: " + this.getUsername() + " Email: " + this.getEmail();
}
}
/*
* put string into file jsonFileArr.json
* [{"username":"Hello","email":"hello#email.com","credits"
* :"100","twitter_username":""},
* {"username":"Goodbye","email":"goodbye#email.com"
* ,"credits":"0","twitter_username":""},
* {"username":"mlsilva","email":"mlsilva#email.com"
* ,"credits":"524","twitter_username":""},
* {"username":"fsouza","email":"fsouza#email.com"
* ,"credits":"1052","twitter_username":""}]

public class TestaGsonLista {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Gson gson = new Gson();
try {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(
"C:\\Temp\\jsonFileArr.json"));
JsonArray jsonArray = new JsonParser().parse(br).getAsJsonArray();
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.size(); i++) {
JsonElement str = jsonArray.get(i);
Usuario obj = gson.fromJson(str, Usuario.class);
System.out.println(obj);
System.out.println(str);
System.out.println("-------");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

You can do the following:
JSONArray jsonArray = jsnobject.getJSONArray("locations");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject explrObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
}

If having following JSON from web service, Json Array as a response :
[3]
0: {
id: 2
name: "a561137"
password: "test"
firstName: "abhishek"
lastName: "ringsia"
organization: "bbb"
}-
1: {
id: 3
name: "a561023"
password: "hello"
firstName: "hello"
lastName: "hello"
organization: "hello"
}-
2: {
id: 4
name: "a541234"
password: "hello"
firstName: "hello"
lastName: "hello"
organization: "hello"
}
have To Accept it first as a Json Array ,then while reading its Object have to use Object Mapper.readValue ,because Json Object Still in String .
List<User> list = new ArrayList<User>();
JSONArray jsonArr = new JSONArray(response);
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArr.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObj = jsonArr.getJSONObject(i);
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
User usr = mapper.readValue(jsonObj.toString(), User.class);
list.add(usr);
}
mapper.read is correct function ,if u use mapper.convert(param,param) . It will give u error .
