snakeYAML JAVA: using the object produced

I am attempting to use snakeYAML to load a YAML file into an object in an Android Java Class. How do I access the members of the resulting object?

Yaml yaml = new Yaml();
Object data = yaml.load(questionsStream);
Log.v(TAG2,data.toString());

The output is:

03-07 18:15:55.637: VERBOSE/Q_Engine Load Questions(615): [{Answer=Sun Jun 25 01:00:00 GMT+01:00 1950, ID=8, Meta Info={Main Topics=[Korean War]}, Obscurity=1, Question=When did the Korean War begin?}, etc...

I want to iterate through the list of Maps and access their members by their keywords.

Replace the second line with:

List<Map<String, Object>> data = (List<Map<String, Object>>) yaml.load(questionsStream);

The Objects from inside the Map can be cast to Maps or Lists and iterated through the same way, depending on the yaml file structure.

Cast your data to list of Maps and iterate.
