            ]
        },
        "name":"xD",
        "@id":"Scion xd"
    }
]

I can't seem to be parsing it correctly please advice and if possible a sample code that I could use, any ideas are more than welcome.

Answer 1

You need to wrap it with []: right now it is not valid JSON.

EDIT: if it is properly wrapped, try this:

JSONArray js = new JSONArray(newjson);
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),js.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        for (int i = 0; i < js.length(); i++) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),js.getJSONObject(i).getString("name").toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
            .show();

Answer 2

Easiest way to answer this is to run it through an online validation tool such as JSON Lint:

http://jsonlint.com/

With your example it suggested that you have an error on line 42:

Parse error on line 42: ... "@id":"Scion xb"},{ "modelTrimLi ----------------------^ Expecting 'EOF'

Answer 3

That's because your JSON isn't valid, it looks like it should be an array of modelTrimLists
