为什么我不能在Android中将String转换为JSON对象？

Question

I´m receaving an array from php to android and I receive the following format in an String:

["Rick","Anne","Carl"]

but when I execute:

 JSONObject myjson = new JSONObject(the_json);

I get:

 org.json.JSONException: Value ["Rick","Anne","Carl"] of type org.json.JSONArray cannot be converted to JSONObject

why? I send the array fom php with

 echo json_encode($arreglo);

I suppose this sentence send the stream with the correct format, no?

Answer 1

why?

Because the JSON does not represent a JSON object. It represents a JSON array. To parse a JSON array using the org.json classes, use JSONArray, not JSONObject.
