Convert JSONArray into a String Array [closed]

There already was that problem on Stack. Here is the solution. Look here or here. There is what You need.

Try this

JSONArray jsonArray = null;
    try {
        jsonArray = new JSONArray(responseString);

        if (jsonArray != null) {

            String[] strArray = new String[jsonArray.length()];

            for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
                strArray[i] = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("route");
            }
        }
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Followed by this TUTORIAL

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

Or use GSON

Gson gson = new Gson();
    Collection<Integer> ints = Lists.immutableList(1,2,3,4,5);

//(Serialization)
String json = gson.toJson(ints); ==> json is [1,2,3,4,5]

//(Deserialization)
Type collectionType = new TypeToken<Collection<Integer>>(){}.getType();
Collection<Integer> ints2 = gson.fromJson(json, collectionType);
//ints2 is same as ints

You can try below solutions,

Just replace { and } by following code

String jsonString = jsonArray.toString();
jsonString.replace("},{", " ,");
String[]array = jsonString.split(" ");

Or

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

this will convert to Arraylist and then if you want it to string then convert it to StringArray. for more reference use this link

as straight forward as it can be

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
for( int ix = 0; ix < yourArray.length(); ix++ ){
  list.add( yourArray.getJSONObject( ix ).getString( "route" ) );
}
return list.toArray( new String[] );

// try this way here i gave with demo code
public class MyActivity extends Activity {


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        try{
            JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
            JSONObject jsonObject1 = new JSONObject();
            jsonObject1.put("route","route1");
            jsonArray.put(jsonObject1);
            JSONObject jsonObject2 = new JSONObject();
            jsonObject2.put("route","route2");
            jsonArray.put(jsonObject2);
            JSONObject jsonObject3 = new JSONObject();
            jsonObject3.put("route","route3");
            jsonArray.put(jsonObject3);

            String[] array = jsonArrayToArray(jsonArray);

            for (int i=0;i<array.length;i++){
                Log.i((i+1)+" Route : ",array[i]);
            }
        }catch (Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

    @SuppressWarnings({ "rawtypes", "unchecked" })
    public String jsonToStrings(JSONObject object) throws JSONException {
        String data ="";
        Iterator keys = object.keys();
        while (keys.hasNext()) {
            String key = (String) keys.next();
            data+=fromJson(object.get(key)).toString()+",";
        }
        return data;
    }


    private Object fromJson(Object json) throws JSONException {
        if (json == JSONObject.NULL) {
            return null;
        } else if (json instanceof JSONObject) {
            return jsonToStrings((JSONObject) json);
        } else if (json instanceof JSONArray) {
            return jsonArrayToArray((JSONArray) json);
        } else {
            return json;
        }
    }

    private String[] jsonArrayToArray(JSONArray array) throws JSONException {
        ArrayList<Object> list = new ArrayList<Object>();
        int size = array.length();
        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
            list.add(fromJson(array.get(i)));
        }
        ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (int i=0;i<list.size();i++){
            String[] row = ((String)((String)list.get(i)).subSequence(0,((String)list.get(i)).length()-1)).split(",");
            for (int j=0;j<row.length;j++){
                arrayList.add(row[j]);
            }
        }
        String[] strings = new String[arrayList.size()];
        for (int k=0;k<strings.length;k++){
            strings[k]=arrayList.get(k);
        }

        return strings;
    }
