Android getJSONObject reordered automatic

I use below code :
JSONObject value = ...;
JSONObject stationList = value.getJSONObject("stationList");
Iterator<String> iter = array.keys();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
try {
String key = iter.next();
String val = array.get(key).toString();
Log.i("res", key+"- "+val);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
My data sort is :
1- name
3- other
2- your
But output is :
1- name
2- your
3- other
I think JSONObject reorder data with integer key.
How I can fix it and read data without reorder?

JSONObjects are similar to map which stores data as a key value pair without maintaining order.

Android, Iterate over JSON-fied dictionary

I have the following string, which was created using javascript JSON. (It's passed from a Webview to the native code using JavascriptInterface.)
{"var1":1,"var2":8}
How do I convert that into an object and then iterate over the key/value pairs? The names of the keys are NOT known in advance.
I have seen this JSON Array iteration in Android/Java and this Converting json string to java object? and this how to convert JSON string to object in JAVA android.
None of those seem to fit with my example, which is a dictionary with unknown key names. At least, it's certainly not clear to me which of the 15+ answers is relevant for my case.

The org.json library comes "for free" with Android, so I'd go with that. Usage when you don't know the keys ahead of time could be something like this:
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(/* your json String here */);
Iterator<String> keys = jsonObject.keys();
while (keys.hasNext()) {
String key = keys.next();
String value = jsonObject.getString(key);
// do whatever you want with key/value
}
}
catch (JSONException e) {
// thrown when:
// - the json string is malformed (can't be parsed)
// - there's no value for a requested key
// - the value for the requested key can't be coerced to String
}

You can use it by converting the getting the json length like this:-
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(response);
for (int i = 0; i < obj.length(); i++) {
//getting the json object of the particular index inside the array
JSONObject heroObject = obj.getJSONObject(i);
String aka=heroObject.getString("your key here");
}

Android studio: How to receive Json Volley with different objects

According to this json file I want to receive data1 , xyz, abc object and their sub objects and show it in recyclerview.But I am receiving only data1 and their key-value pairs(index1 and name). I am using library Volley.
Can someone help me how to recive xyz and abc ?
{
"Data1":{
"index1":"4",
"name":"dan"
},
"xyz":{
"index1":"2",
"name":"jimi"
}
"abc":{
"index1":"5",
"name":"jordan"
}
}
JSONObject jsonObject = response.getJSONObject("Data1");
getset1.seti(jsonObject.getString("index1"));
getset1.setn(jsonObject.getString("name"));

Try this
JSONObject jsonobject=new JSONobject("");
for (int i=0;i<jsonobject.length();i++){
JSONObject jsonObject1=jsonobject.getJSONObject(i);
);

You have to use loop.As this is not an array so u have to fetch the all keys using iterator and then loop among them try this
Iterator<String> keys = json.keys();
while (keys.hasNext())
{
// Get the key
String key = keys.next();
// Get the value
JSONObject value = json.getJSONObject(key);
// parse inner string from value
}

Parsing JsonObject's fields regardless of their name

I've been looking for this for a while now, but couldn't find it anywhere in SO or in the docs.
I am using Gson to parse a json file, and suppose the file is:
{
"animal":"cat",
"paws":"4",
"eyes":"2"
}
Now, since all the fields are strings, I want to parse it as an array of strings, I want something like:
{"cat","4","2"}
And I would like to parse the JsonObject regardless of the name of its tags, and that's where the problem lies. I can garantee the json will contain only strings, but I have no clue of what the fields are going to be named.
Anyone ever faced this problem ? Any help is much appreciated, and any research direction also.
Edit
From the anwers, I managed to do it like this:
for (Map.Entry<String, JsonElement> entry : object.entrySet()) {
// do your stuff here
}
as explained in this answer

JSONObject has the keys() method that returns an Iterator<String>. Through the iterator you can retrieve the value associated with each key. Here the documentation
EDIT:
Since you are using GSON , you can retrieve the keys through the method entrySet()

You should use Iterator, which you can get by calling .keys() on your JSONObject. I think something like that should work (using org.json library):
String[] output = new String[jsonObject.length()];
Iterator iterator = jsonObject.keys();
int i = 0;
while (iterator.hasNext()){
output[i++] = jsonObject.optString((String) iterator.next());
}
EDIT Ok, in case of GSON it will be like this:
Set<Map.Entry<String, JsonElement>> set = jsonObject.entrySet();
String[] out = new String[set.size()];
int i = 0;
for (Map.Entry<String, JsonElement> x : set){
out[i++] = x.getValue().toString();
}

If you are using gson then simple solution is :
Type mapType = new TypeToken<Map<String, String>>(){}.getType();
Map<String, String> map = gson.fromJson(YOUR_JSON_STRING, mapType);
// get only values from map
Collection<String> values = map.values();
for (String string : values) {
// do your stuff here
}
result values collection contains
[cat, 4, 2]

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(parentJson.getJSONObject("objectname")
.toString());
Iterator<?> iter = jsonObject.keys();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
String key =(String) iter.next();
String value = jsonObject.getString(key);
}

JSONObject create iterator with Integer

I want to iterate a JSONObject by using the method keys(). The problem is that one of the key is an Integer.
Iterator it = json.getJSONObject("body").keys();
The keys() method only creates an iterator from String values and I get an exception when one of the keys is an Integer. What can I do to solve this?

please read following example
String s = "{menu:{\"1\":\"sql\", \"2\":\"android\", \"3\":\"mvc\"}}";
JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(s);
JSONObject menu = jObject.getJSONObject("menu");
Map<String,String> map = new HashMap<String,String>();
Iterator iter = menu.keys();
while(iter.hasNext()){
String key = (String)iter.next();
String value = menu.getString(key);
map.put(key,value);
}

JSON object members are key-value pairs where the key is always a string (ref). If it's a number literal, then the JSON is invalid. You should fix whatever is producing that invalid JSON.
