Try out as below: You can parse your response as below:

    // Get our response as a String.
    String jsonString = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
   JSONObject m_jobj;
try {
    m_jobj = new JSONObject(jsonString);
    JSONArray m_ja = m_jobj.getJSONArray("cityData");
    for (int i = 0; i < m_ja.length(); i++) 
     {
                 JSONObject m_obj = m_ja.getJSONObject(i);
                  String city=m_obj.getString("cityID");
                  String cityName=m_obj.getString("cityName");
                   //And so on get all the values.
               }

Update your getJSONArrayFromurl() as below:

public static JSONArray getJSONArrayFromUrl(String url) throws Exception {
    try {


           HttpClient client = getHttpClient();

           HttpGet request = new HttpGet();

           request.setURI(new URI(url));

           HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);

        try {
            // Get our response as a String.
            String jsonString = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
       JSONObject m_jobj;
    try {
    m_jobj = new JSONObject(jsonString);
    JSONArray m_ja = m_jobj.getJSONArray("cityData");
    /*for (int i = 0; i < m_ja.length(); i++) 
             {
             JSONObject m_obj = m_ja.getJSONObject(i);
                  String city=m_obj.getString("cityID");
                  String cityName=m_obj.getString("cityName");
                   //And so on get all the values.
               }*/


            // Parse the JSON String into a JSONArray object.
            return m_ja;

        } catch (JSONException e) {
            Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
        }
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;

    }

I can't use loopin' . Tht's wht my leader said . What i get is only CityID . Could you help me . –  user3032822 Dec 3 '13 at 4:50
 
Without looping how will you get all the CityID ? –  GrIsHu Dec 3 '13 at 4:52
 
tht's wht I said her . But she command me to use something like dictionary Object or sth like that :( –  user3032822 Dec 3 '13 at 4:56
 
Its the only possible with the looping only if you want to get all the CityID from your response. Its a common sense man. –  GrIsHu Dec 3 '13 at 4:58
 
I'm really sorry . Thanks for your patient . –  user3032822 Dec 3 '13 at 5:00

change your method to :

public static JSONArray getJSONArrayFromUrl(String url) throws Exception {
try {


       HttpClient client = getHttpClient();

       HttpGet request = new HttpGet();

       request.setURI(new URI(url));

       HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);

    try {
        // Get our response as a String.
        String jsonString = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
        String[] names = JSONObject.getNames(jsonObject);
        JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.toJSONArray(new JSONArray(names));


        // Parse the JSON String into a JSONArray object.
        return jsonArray;

    } catch (JSONException e) {
        Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
    }
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;

}

You cant cast string to JsonArray, First cast it to a JsonObject

try {
       JSONObject jObj = new JSONObject(json);
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
    }

Then get the JsonArray from it

jObj.getJSONArray(NAME);
