Android Json parsing how to get Array

Question

I have an JSON something like:

{
"store":"usa",
"values":["1","2","3","4"];
}

and so I go ahead and get a JSON object for values:

JSONObject values = json.getJSONObject("values");

So now I have this Json object but methods like getName("X") does not work for this type of JSON. There is no key value for the Array now. Its just Strings oen after another.

I want it to return like

String[] listValues = value.getArray();

But I don't see anything like this.

Any ideas ?

Thanks !!

The ; at the end of the array needs to go for this to be valid JSON. Is that present in the data or just a typo in the post? — Ted Hopp

Have you tried this?

JSONArray a = json.getJSONArray("values");
for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++) {
    Log.d("Type", a.getString(i););
}

Yep. The key is to use getJSONArray instead of getJSONObject. The answer would be improved if you edited it to show how to use a.getLength() to allocate the String[] and then assign elements (instead of logging).

String myJson = "{
"store":"usa",
"values":["1","2","3","4"]
}";

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(myJson);

JSONArray array = jsonObject.getJSONArray("values");
