I started working with sky-scanner API using volley on Android. I am able to poll the response from the API, however I have no clue how to parse the json which is sent in response, please see json below. The json response is very big, I have never worked with such responses before thus have no idea how can I handle this.
Can someone please help me figure this out? There is no sample implementation done by anyone for skyscanner for android.
JSON response to be parsed to get price, agents, flight number, carrier, duration of flight, image URL of flight.

P.S. I hope this will helps you the idea how to get the data you need.
I'll show a basic example of how to parse. Take the following sample JSON.
http://api.androidhive.info/contacts/
How to get the contacts list.
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject("Your JSON String here");
JSONArray contacts = jsonObj.optJSONArray("contacts");
How to calculate the phone number
//Get first contact
JSONObject firstContact = contacts.optJSONObject(0);
JSONObject phone = firstContact.optJSONObject("phone");
String mobileNo = phone.optString("mobile");
Similarly you can apply this technique to your JSON.

when I parsing this json object, String key "likes" is sometimes exist and sometimes do not exist in "data" jsonArray. So when I parsing JsonString "likes", sometimes I gets JSONException since I am parsing null value. Is there any way to skipping "null" json value?
Please help me regarding this.
if try catch it, next processes will be skipped.
you can check by isNull("name") method.
Edit: this is to check key. since you mentioned key exists sometimes. did you mean the value?
use JSONObjects method has(key)
data = (JSONObject) new JSONTokener(jsonObjRecv.toString()).nextValue();
if data.has("like"){
...
}
to check whether the value is null check with isNull("name")
