To get all the keys in JSONObject into String array

I want to create a json object from existing json object. For this i want to get all the keys in JSONObject to a String[] array. Is there any default method to get the keys into a String array. I found there exists a static method here getNames() but it's not working.

I can go over each key using iterator and can construct a keys String array but i want any default method if exists.

To construct JSONObject from other JSONObject you can use constructor that accept JSONObject and array of keys names that should be copied. To do it:

Iterator keysToCopyIterator = firstJSONObject.keys();
List<String> keysList = new ArrayList<String>();
while(keysToCopyIterator.hasNext()) {
    String key = (String) keysToCopyIterator.next();
    keysList.add(key);
}
String[] kesyArray = keysList.toArray(new String[keysList.size()]);
JSONObject secondJSONObject = new JSONObject(firstJSONObject, );
