What I amtrying to do is:

for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
        JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
        System.out.println(jsonObject.getString("title"));
}

Thank you very much for your help.

How jsonArray is being achieved? Error at org.json.JSONArray.getJSONObject can be because what stored in jsonArray is no longer an array. Try making it JsonObject first then only jsonArray. — prayagupadhyay

It looks like you aren't digging quite deep enough to get to your data. What you have is an array containing multiple arrays, each of which contains an object. Try this:

for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
        JSONArray innerJsonArray = jsonArray.getJSONArray(i);
        JSONObject jsonObject = innerJsonArray.getJSONObject(0);
        System.out.println(jsonObject.getString("title"));
}
