Android Parse JSON Array

Question

How Can I parse a JSON ARRAY to get the data without the [] and ""

here is the json

"formattedAddress": [
"23, Damansara - Puchong Hwy (Bandar Puchong Jaya)",
"47100 Puchong Batu Dua Belas, Selangor",
"Malaysia"
]

my code:

poi.setFormattedAddress(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getJSONObject("location").getJSONArray("formattedAddress").toString());

output: [ "23, Damansara - Puchong Hwy (Bandar Puchong Jaya)", "47100 Puchong Batu Dua Belas, Selangor", "Malaysia" ]

I just want the data. as:

23, Damansara - Puchong Hwy (Bandar Puchong Jaya), 47100 Puchong Batu Dua Belas, Selangor, Malaysia

Thanks

Use JSONArray#join() to join the elements. Check out the JSONArray docs for more info.

poi.setFormattedAddress(
    jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getJSONObject("location")
       .getJSONArray("formattedAddress").join(", ")); // passing ", " as the separator

It's unclear if the quotations are part of your input JSON string. If they show up in your join, you can easily remove them with the String#replace() method.

System.out.println(jsonArray.join(", ").replace("\"", ""));

Thank you for your reply. I tried .join and this is the output: "Northpoint Midvalley City", "Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur", "Malaysia"

I am sorry, I missed the .join(", ").replace("\"", "")); - it now works

Please, refresh the page so that my edits show up. Use replace() as shown in my answer.

Try something like this:

public String getFormattedAddressFromArray(JSONArray array) {
    List<String> strings = new ArrayList<String>();
    try {
      for (int i = 0; i < array.length(); i++) {
        strings.add(array.getString(i));
      }
    } catch (JSONException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return TextUtils.join(", ", strings);
  }

Use JSONArray.join():

getJSONArray("formattedAddress").join(","));
