[FIXED] Convert JSONArray to String Array

Issue

I want to ask a question about converting a jsonArray to a StringArray on Android. Here is my code to get jsonArray from server.

try {
    DefaultHttpClient defaultClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpGet httpGetRequest = new HttpGet("http://server/android/listdir.php");
    HttpResponse httpResponse = defaultClient.execute(httpGetRequest);

    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpResponse.getEntity().getContent(),"UTF-8"));

    String json = reader.readLine();

    //JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(json);
    JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(json);
    Log.d("", json);

    //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), json, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

} catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

And this is the JSON.

[
    {"name": "IMG_20130403_140457.jpg"},
    {"name":"IMG_20130403_145006.jpg"},
    {"name":"IMG_20130403_145112.jpg"},
    {"name":"IMG_20130404_085559.jpg"},
    {"name":"IMG_20130404_113700.jpg"},
    {"name":"IMG_20130404_113713.jpg"},
    {"name":"IMG_20130404_135706.jpg"},
    {"name":"IMG_20130404_161501.jpg"},
    {"name":"IMG_20130405_082413.jpg"},
    {"name":"IMG_20130405_104212.jpg"},
    {"name":"IMG_20130405_160524.jpg"},
    {"name":"IMG_20130408_082456.jpg"},
    {"name":"test.jpg"}
]

How can I convert jsonArray that I've got to StringArray so I can get StringArray like this:

array = {"IMG_20130403_140457.jpg","IMG_20130403_145006.jpg",........,"test.jpg"};

Thank you for your help :)

Solution

Take a look at this tutorial. Also you can parse above json like :

JSONArray arr = new JSONArray(yourJSONresponse);
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
for(int i = 0; i < arr.length(); i++){
    list.add(arr.getJSONObject(i).getString("name"));
}
