I am facing a problem . When i tried to receive the value I am getting error that items of type org.json.JSONArray cannot be converted to JSONObject. How can i solve this?

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
JSONObject snippet = jsonObject.getJSONObject("items");
String t = snippet.getString("rating");

[..] means it should be an JSONArray and {..} means it should be a JSONObject.

Do this:

JSONArray snippet = jsonObject.getJSONArray("items");

JSON having a value enclosed within [] signifies an array as is a common practice in most programming languages and {} as a plain JSON entity. Hence,

when syntax is {}then this is JSONObject

when syntax is [] then this is JSONArray

A JSONArray is an array of JSONObjects. Your items json node is an array, not an object. Replace

JSONObject snippet = jsonObject.getJSONObject("items");

with

JSONArray snippet = jsonObject.getJSONArray("items");

Then from your snippet array you can get the item object you need

JSONObject item = snippet.getJSONObject(0);

And from there

String t = item.getString("rating");

Just change from getJSONObject a getJSONArray for the items attribute.

JSONArray snippet = jsonObject.getJSONArray("items");
