How Do I create a Json Array in a Json Array?

Question

Here is my server that I am trying to parse

    [
  {
   "Hello": "How are You?",
"GoodBye": "I will see you later",
"Today": "How is it outside today",
"Date": "what is the date today",
"Weather": "10 degrees",
"Subcategory": [
  {
    "text": "Text goes here",
          }
{
    "text": "Text goes here",
          }
{
    "text": "Text goes here",
          }]
  [
  {
   "Hello": "How are You?",
"GoodBye": "I will see you later",
"Today": "How is it outside today",
"Date": "what is the date today",
"Weather": "10 degrees",
"Subcategory2": [
{
    "text": "Text goes here",
          }
{
    "text": "Text goes here",
          }
{
    "text": "Text goes here",
          }]
  [

Additionally, below I have my JSON parse for the text alone, however, I would like to get the text of the weather.

Please post valid JSON.

text key is inside Subcategory JSONArray, so need to get JSONArray first then get text String from it:

JSONObject currentQuestions = response.getJSONObject(x);
JSONArray arrSubcategory=currentQuestions.optJSONArray("Subcategory");
for (int y = 0; y < arrSubcategory.length(); y++) {
   JSONObject objectSubcategory = arrSubcategory.getJSONObject(y);
   String text = objectSubcategory.optString("text");
}

NOTE:

if Subcategory JSONArray key name is dynamic like Subcategory,Subcategory1,... then do it as:

JSONObject currentQuestions = response.getJSONObject(x);
Iterator<String> iter = currentQuestions.keys();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
    String key = iter.next();
    JSONArray arrSubcategory=currentQuestions.optJSONArray(key);
    for (int y = 0; y < arrSubcategory.length(); y++) {
       JSONObject objectSubcategory = arrSubcategory.getJSONObject(y);
       String text = objectSubcategory.optString("text");
    }
}

so I see you put JSONObject currentQuestions = response.getJSONObject(x);

eli Over a year ago

are u creating another for loop? if so can you include that?

ρяσѕρєя K Over a year ago

@eli: Yes eli because Subcategory is JSONArray of JSONObject so need to use another loop. do it let me know if getting any issue

Just do like this.

JSONArray array=new JSONArray(Your JSONObject);

Now the above is the Main JSONArray.

JSONArray newArray=new JSONArray();
for(int i=0;i<array.length();i++){
 JSONObject objmain=array.getJSONObject(i);
 JSONObject obj=new JSONObject();
 obj.put("your key","your value");
 newArray.put(obj);
 objmain.put("New array key",newArray);
}
