How can I extract data from JSON?

Question

I am calling a GET request to an api which should return an JSON with longitude, latitude and addresses.

I am trying to get the addresses into an ArrayList and place them into a Spinner. I successfully retrieve the whole JSON but when I try to take only the addresses I get this error:

W/System.err: org.json.JSONException: Value 1 Chester Street, , , , , 
Coventry, West Midlands at 0 of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to 
JSONObject
    at org.json.JSON.typeMismatch(JSON.java:101)

    at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:858)

The code that is causing the problem is:

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String response) {
        super.onPostExecute(response);
        if (pd.isShowing()){
            pd.dismiss();
        }
        try{
            jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
            jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("addresses");
            //jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(0);

            for(int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++){
                jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
                addresses.add(jsonObject.toString());
            }

            Spinner addressSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.addressSpinner);

            addressSpinner.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(LocationActivity.this,
                    android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item,addresses));


        }catch(JSONException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }




    }
}

EDIT: This is the whole JSON I am expecting:

    "latitude": 52.24593734741211,
    "longitude": -0.891636312007904,

Answer 1

You're trying to get a json object from string array.

Instead of this:

    for(int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++){
        jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
        addresses.add(jsonObject.toString());
    }

Try this:

    for(int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++){
        String spinnerElement =  jsonArray.getString(i);
        addresses.add(spinnerElement);
    }
