How do I access nested JSON data in android using java?

Question

If my JSON object looks something like this:

{
 "weather:{
   "sunny": "yes"
   "wind": "48mph"
   "location":{
     "city": "new york"
     "zip": "12345"
   }
 }
 "rating": "four stars"
}

How would I access the city name? I can use optString to get all of "weather" or "rating" but how do I get info that's inside that?

It's very simple

JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonString);
JSONObject weather = jsonObj.getJSONObject("weather");
JSONObject location = weather.getJSONObject("location");
String city = location.getString("city");

JSONObject json = new JSONObject(yourdata); 
JSONObject weather = json.getString("weather");
weather.getString("sunny"); //yes
weather.getString("wind"); //46mph

JSONObject location = new JSONObject(weather.getString("location"));
location.getString("city"); // new york

json.getString("rating"); //...
