Count Of an Element in json array

Question

This is my JSON array,

[{
    "textinput": [{
        "position": 0,
        "dependency": "no",
        "id": 0,
        "label": "single1",
        "Itype": "textinput"
    }, {
        "position": 1,
        "dependency": "no",
        "id": 1,
        "label": "single2",
        "Itype": "textinput"
    }, {
        "position": 2,
        "dependency": "no",
        "id": 2,
        "label": "single3",
        "Itype": "textinput"
    }, {
        "position": 3,
        "dependency": "no",
        "id": 3,
        "label": "single4",
        "Itype": "textinput"
    }, {
        "position": 4,
        "dependency": "no",
        "id": 4,
        "label": "single5",
        "Itype": "textinput"
    }, {
        "position": 5,
        "dependency": "no",
        "id": 5,
        "label": "single6",
        "Itype": "textinput"
    }]
}]

I would like to get help in counting the number of position in the above array.

what exactly you looking for you want to get sum of position??if not then you just need jsonArraylength it give count of your responses. — Vishal Thakkar

not the sum but how many " position" are there in the array @AndroidDeveloper — user6602265

then put your whole json. because json never starts with JsonArray Its always starts with root Json Object — Vishal Thakkar

You missed out the j there :P

try {
     JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray("Your response");    
     int count = jsonArray.getJSONObject(0).getJSONArray("textinput").length();
 } catch (JSONException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
 }

String[] array = text.split("position"); //text your reponse json String

int count = array.length-1; //the number of position
