parse json string without double quads in integer value in android

Question

I am trying to parse an json string in android. String is as-

   String response = "[{"UserID":100055,"VisibleName":"sarita","UserSince":"September 2015"}]";
    JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(response);
    for(int i = 0 ; i <jArray.length();i++){

        JSONObject jObject = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
    }

but it gives parsing exception at

 JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(response);

org.json.JSONException: Value [{"UserID":100054,"VisibleName":"Sarita","UserSince":"September 2015"}] of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject

I am using following imports

import org.json.JSONArray;

import org.json.JSONObject;

Answer 1

Try Using Verbatim String or Pass Escape Character for Double Quotes

 response = "\"{\"UserID\":100055,\"VisibleName\":\"sarita\",\"UserSince\":\"September 2015\"}\""

Answer 2

just add escape sequence to your response string as

      String response = "[{\"UserID\":100055,\"VisibleName\":\"sarita\",\"UserSince\":\"September 2015\"}]";
        JSONArray jArray = null;
        try {
            jArray = new JSONArray(response);
            for(int i = 0 ; i <jArray.length();i++){
                JSONObject jObject = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
                Log.e("value->","UserID->"+jObject.getString("UserID")+" UserSince->"+jObject.getString("UserSince")+" VisibleName->"+jObject.getString("VisibleName"));
            }
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

output:

value->﹕ UserID->100055 UserSince->September 2015 VisibleName->sarita
