JSON Parsing of JSON Objects in android

Question

I have a JSON like,

 {

 "Area1": "areacode1",
 "Area2": "areacode2",
 "Area3" : "areacode3"

 }

I want to parse the json and iterate "area" it to autocompletetextview, My code is,

//Reading JSON from local file

public String loadJSONFromAsset() {
    String json = null;
    try {

        InputStream is = getAssets().open("arealist.json");

        int size = is.available();

        byte[] buffer = new byte[size];

        is.read(buffer);

        is.close();

        json = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");



    } catch (IOException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
    return json;

}

//parsing and iterating the json...

    try {
        JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(loadJSONFromAsset());
           Iterator<String> keys= obj.keys();
        while (keys.hasNext())
        {
            String keyValue = (String)keys.next();
            String valueString = obj.getString(keyValue);
            Log.d("Details-->",valueString);
        }

    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

try to read arealist.json like this

InputStream inputStream = getContext().getAssets().open("arealist.json");
                    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));


 String line;
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
                sb.append(line).append("\n");
            }

            //parse JSON and store it in the list
            String jsonString =  sb.toString();

and use this jsonString in JSONobject

After debug the given json by the below code:

    String json = "{\n" +
            "\n" +
            " \"Area1\": \"areacode1\",\n" +
            "  \"Area2\": \"areacode2\",\n" +
            "  \"Area3\" : \"areacode3\"\n" +
            "\n" +
            " }";
    try {
        JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(json);
        Iterator<String> keys= obj.keys();
        while (keys.hasNext())
        {
            String keyValue = (String)keys.next();
            String valueString = obj.getString(keyValue);
            Log.d("Details-->",valueString);
        }



    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

I realize that the way you read which json does not have any problem. The problem is the string return from loadJSONFromAsset. You must correct the out of that method.
