        this.myListView = myListView;
        this.context = context;

    }

    public DownloadJson() {

    }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http Connection" + e.toString());

        }
        // converting response to string

Answer 1

Its json array of arrays. It is like a 2D array.

JsonArray jsonarray= new JsonArray(json);
 for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
  strListView[i] = jsonarray.getJsonArray(i);


}

Answer 2

JSONObject json_data = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);

Here ' jsonArray' contains array object not json object. So you have to change that to JsonArray

  JSONArray jsonArrayElement = jsonArray.getJSONArray(0);

And also this json is valid but not conventional or useful..!!

Check more information for json here .

Answer 3

Try by changing the lines

JSONObject json_data = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
strListView[i] = json_data.getString("Num_Rows");

to

JSONArray innerJsonArray = jsonArray.getJSONArray(i);
strListView[0] = json_data.get(0);

Answer 4

Try this. working fine

String json = "[[\"AACHI\"],[\"AJAY COMPANY\"],[\"ALL OUT\"],[\"AMBICA\"],[\"AMICO PRODUCTS\"],[\"AMUL\"],[\"ANAND BHOG PRODUCTS\"],[\"ANNAPURNA\"],[\"ANOOS PRODUCTS\"],[\"ARVIND LABORATORIES \"],[\"ASWINI PHARMACEUTICALS\"],[\"ATTK PRODUCTS\"],[\"AVA\"],[\"BAJAJ PRODUCTS \"],[\"BAMBINO\"],[\"BANJARAS PRODUCTS\"],[\"BHAGAYALAKSHIMI PRODUCTS\"],[\"BRITANNIA\"],[\"cadbury\"]]";
     try {
        JSONArray jsAr = new JSONArray(json);
        String job="";
        for(int i=0;i<jsAr.length();i++)
        {
            JSONArray js1 = jsAr.getJSONArray(i);
            job += js1.getString(0);

        }
        Toast.makeText(this,job,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    } catch (JSONException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block

        Toast.makeText(this,"Error",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
