my php code for making a json array so far is 

 $response[$x]=$row['firstname']." ".$row['lastname'];
 $res2=array("names"=>$response);
 echo json_encode($res2);

where response is an array. This has as output

{"names":["Mario 1","Luigi 2","Mario 3"]}

which looks like a json array but when i try to retrieve the array in android by using 

 json.getJSONArray("names");

I get a jsonexception saying "no values for names". What is wrong? Otherwise any suggestion on how to put the names on a jsonobject and retrive them in android.?

    String obj=JSONObject.quote(YourData);
    JSONArray lArray=new JSONArray(obj);

or simply Delete the prefix 'names' $res2=array("names"=>$response); and you will retrive directelly your JsonArray like 

    JSONArray lArray=new JSONArray(YouData);

Thanks. My code was actually correct. I made a mistake when requesting the json object. so I was not getting any object at the end. But I fixed it and I am getting the array now, going to delete this question. – user2829419 Nov 12 '13 at 23:01
