Parsing JSON string on Android

Given a json string, you could convert it to either JSONObject(str) or JSONArray(str). For example, This json response is from weather forecaset server:

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?zip=545%2Ctw&mode=json&units=metric&cnt=7&appid=aa032e548c67daa9cd1bc64eec737960

The response json format is like this:

json

If you want to get the first max temperature value: 17.06:

    JSONObject weather = new JSONObject(weatherJsonStr);
    JSONArray daysWeather = weather.getJSONArray("list");
    JSONObject dayWeather = daysWeather.getJSONObject(0);
    JSONObject dayTemperature = dayWeather.getJSONObject("temp");
    int maxTemp = dayTemperature.getDouble("max");

Note that there may has a JSONException when the json tring is invalid, you need to add try-catch for this.
