Try this..

JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(response);  
JSONObject test_jsonObj = jsonObj.getJSONObject("test");  
int id = test_jsonObj.getInt("id");

Thanks! And what about if there is an array inside of object?

Here is full documentation of JSONObject. There is a method called getJSONArray for such case.

@user3316779 You can get like getJSONArray into JSONArray.

You have to do:

JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONOBject(response);
JSONObject nestedObj = jsonObj.getJSONObject("test");
int id = nestedObj.getInt("id");
