parsing a JSON array from a string

can some one please get me the json parsing for an json array 

 line = "contexts": [
    {
        "uuid": "6686feaa-a254-42ec-a662-c36f70f7a586",
        "name": "School",
    },
    {
        "uuid": "bd8e6c44-d461-4bbe-8946-a3717dc7fa7f",
        "name": "Teaching",
    }]

I need uuid and name into to string arrays. I tried 

String[] x = new String[10];
String[] y = new String[10];
JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(line);
for(int i=0;i<jArray.length();i++){          
    JSONObject json_data = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
    x = json_data.getString("name");
y = json_data.getString("uuid");            
        }

I get type mismatch error when I run this. The type of line is string which I return from server.

use i to add elements to Array's:

String[] x = new String[10];
String[] y = new String[10];
JSONObject json=new JSONObject(line);
JSONArray jArray =json.getJSONArray("contexts");

for(int i=0;i<jArray.length();i++){          
    JSONObject json_data = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
    x[i] = json_data.getString("name");
    y[i] = json_data.getString("uuid");            
        }

you can use http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/ for checking json is valid or not. and use ArrayList instead of Array for getting items dynamically from web service

Its neither JSONObject, nor JSONArray, return string from server like below:

line = {"contexts": [
    {
        "uuid": "6686feaa-a254-42ec-a662-c36f70f7a586",
        "name": "School",
    },
    {
        "uuid": "bd8e6c44-d461-4bbe-8946-a3717dc7fa7f",
        "name": "Teaching",
    }]}

and then parse like below code:

JSONObject json=new JSONObject(line);
JSONArray jArray =json.getJSONArray("contexts");
