Cannot convert to JSONObject after updating array

I used to have a response string that I converted to JSONObject in this way:
JSONObject obj_temp = new JSONObject(response);
Then, I added to that string some modifications. At first, the index 'TripDetails' just had 1 trip with it details (trip information, passenger information and driver information). Now, with the new modifications, 'TripDetails' is an array of trips. Each index has the same information for each trip (trip information, passenger information and driver information). But now, with this new string, Android Studio gives me this error:
of type org.json.JSONArray cannot be converted to JSONObject
Can a string be casted to JSONObject if it has this format? It's a valid JSON string. Here's the complete JSON: https://paste2.org/VemkLNMJ

It is because you made your json object an array (I don't see why since you have just 1 element). Anyway you can probably do something like this:
JSONArray arr = new JSONArray(response);
JSONObject obj_temp = arr.getJSONObject(0);

your response starts with Array and you trying to convert it into Object.
[ represents json array node
{ represents json object node
JSONArray obj_temp = new JSONArray(response);
for(int i=0; i < jsonarray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonobject = obj_temp.getJSONObject(i);
String id = jsonobject.getString("id");
String title = jsonobject.getString("title");
String company = jsonobject.getString("company");
String category = jsonobject.getString("category");}

Parsing json code to a string in android using volley

i need help to parse this json code to actual strings using android volley. this is the json code:[{"name":"Tayo","0":"Tayo","thread_name":"Welcome","1":"Welcome","post":"Hi there,","2":"Hi there,","post_time":"Sunday","3":"Sunday"},{"name":"Pete","0":"Pete","thread_name":"Welcome","1":"Welcome","post":"Hi,am pete","2":"Hi,am pete","post_time":"Monday","3":"Monday"}].
I have tried other helps but not working. Thanks!

Remember:
if the .json content starts with { is considered as a Json Object.
if the .json content starts with [ is considered as a Json Array.
so you hava a JsonArray then you can parse your content like this way:
//Obtain the JsonArray
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(myJsonContent);
// Get the JsonObjects inside JsonArray
for(int i=0;i<jsonArray.length();i++){
JSONObject jsonobject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
}

// strData is the json data received.
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(strData);
for (int i=0; i<jsonArray.length();i++){
JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
String name = jsonObject.optString("name");
String zero = jsonObject.optString("0");
String thread_name = jsonObject.optString("thread_name");
String one = jsonObject.optString("1");
String post = jsonObject.optString("post");
String two = jsonObject.optString("2");
String post_time = jsonObject.optString("post_time");
String three = jsonObject.optString("3");
//Just an example
arrayName.add(jsonObject.optString("name"));
}
You can even use array to store data instead of the string.

unterminated character when parsing json in android

I am using the Retrofit package from square to make http request to my server. I get json data from my server that needs to be parsed. The problem I'm having is when the name field has more than one word I get a "Unterminated object at character". What can be the problem.
This works fine
{results=[{id=23.0, name= Canada}]}
This does not
{results=[{id=23.0, name= United States}]}
JSONObject jsonResponse = new JSONObject(data);
JSONArray result = jsonResponse.getJSONArray("results");
for(int i=0; i <result.length();i++ )
{
MyObj obj = new MyObj();
obj.id= result.getJSONObject(i).optString("id").toString();
obj.name=result.getJSONObject(i).optString("name").toString();
p.add(obj);
}

Your input is not valid according to the JSON specs.
It shoud be:
{"results":[{"id":23.0, "name":"United States"}]}

How parse json object and json array together

i have two situation of Json output .
one is data that found and i have a json array and a json object like this:
{"data":"yes"}[{"id":"10","number":"7","text":"text7","desc":"text7_again","user_code":"0"},{"id":"11","number":"8","text":"text8","desc":"text8_again","user_code":"1"}]
other situation is that data not found :
{"data":"no"}
just one json object.
how parse this data in android client for support two situtaion?

First, you should validate your json in http://jsonlint.com/ if you test it you will look that is a wrong json. So, for make it right, in your server your response should look something like this:
{"data":"yes","response":[{"id":"10","number":"7","text":"text7","desc":"text7_again","user_code":"0"},{"id":"11","number":"8","text":"text8","desc":"text8_again","user_code":"1"}]}
And in that case, in android
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(response);
if (jsonObj.getString("data").compareTo("yes") == 0) {
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObj.getJSONArray("response");
//To-Do another code
}
and that's all

Here is a possible case: (you need to fix your json format)
Success -
string resultJSON =
{"success":true,
"data":[
{"id":"10","number":"7","text":"text7","desc":"text7_again","user_code":"0"},
{"id":"11","number":"8","text":"text8","desc":"text8_again","user_code":"1"}]}
Failed -
string resultJSON =
{"success":false}
Then
JSONObject jsonRoot = new JSONObject(resultJSON);
bool isSuccess = jsonRoot.getBoolean("success");
if (isSuccess) {
// do the array parser
for(int i=0; i<jsonData.lenght;i++) {
JSONObject jsonObj = jsonData.getJSONObject(i);
String id = jsonObj.getString("id"); // get the value of id
String desc = jsonObj.getString("desc"); // and so on...
}
}

How to parse JSON without title object in Android?

I've a json output which returns something like this :
[
{
"title":"facebook",
"description":"social networking website",
"url":"http://www.facebook.com"
},
{
"title":"WoW",
"description":"game",
"url":"http://us.battle.net/wow/"
},
{
"title":"google",
"description":"search engine",
"url":"http://www.google.com"
}
]
I am familiar with parsing json having the title object, but i've no clue about how to parse the above json as it is missing the title object. Can you please provide me with some hints/examples so i can check them and work on parsing the above code?
Note : I've checked a similar example here but it doesn't have a satisfactory solution.

Your JSON is an array of objects.
The whole idea around Gson (and other JSON serialization/deserialization) libraries is that you wind up with your own POJOs in the end.
Here's how to create a POJO that represents the object contained in the array and get a List of them from that JSON:
public class App
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
String json = "[{\"title\":\"facebook\",\"description\":\"social networking website\"," +
"\"url\":\"http://www.facebook.com\"},{\"title\":\"WoW\",\"description\":\"game\"," +
"\"url\":\"http://us.battle.net/wow/\"},{\"title\":\"google\",\"description\":\"search engine\"," +
"\"url\":\"http://www.google.com\"}]";
// The next 3 lines are all that is required to parse your JSON
// into a List of your POJO
Gson gson = new Gson();
Type type = new TypeToken<List<WebsiteInfo>>(){}.getType();
List<WebsiteInfo> list = gson.fromJson(json, type);
// Show that you have the contents as expected.
for (WebsiteInfo i : list)
{
System.out.println(i.title + " : " + i.description);
}
}
}
// Simple POJO just for demonstration. Normally
// these would be private with getters/setters
class WebsiteInfo
{
String title;
String description;
String url;
}
Output:
facebook : social networking website
WoW : game
google : search engine
Edit to add: Because the JSON is an array of things, the use of the TypeToken is required to get to a List because generics are involved. You could actually do the following without it:
WebsiteInfo[] array = new Gson().fromJson(json, WebsiteInfo[].class);
You now have an array of your WebsiteInfo objects from one line of code. That being said, using a generic Collection or List as demonstrated is far more flexible and generally recommended.
You can read more about this in the Gson users guide

JSONArray jsonArr = new JSONArray(jsonResponse);
for(int i=0;i<jsonArr.length();i++){
JSONObject e = jsonArr.getJSONObject(i);
String title = e.getString("title");
}

use JSONObject.has(String name) to check an key name exist in current json or not for example
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray("json String");
for(int i = 0 ; i < jsonArray.length() ; i++) {
JSONObject jsonobj = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
String title ="";
if(jsonobj.has("title")){ // check if title exist in JSONObject
String title = jsonobj.getString("title"); // get title
}
else{
title="default value here";
}
}

JSONArray array = new JSONArray(yourJson);
for(int i = 0 ; i < array.lengh(); i++) {
JSONObject product = (JSONObject) array.get(i);
.....
}
