You can prefer quick-json parser to meet your requirement...

quick-json parser is very straight forward, flexible, very fast and customizable. Try this out

[quick-json parser] (https://code.google.com/p/quick-json/) - quick-json features -

• Compliant with JSON specification (RFC4627)

• High-Performance JSON parser

• Supports Flexible/Configurable parsing approach

• Configurable validation of key/value pairs of any JSON Heirarchy

• Easy to use # Very Less foot print

• Raises developer friendly and easy to trace exceptions

• Pluggable Custom Validation support - Keys/Values can be validated by configuring custom validators as and when encountered

• Validating and Non-Validating parser support

• Support for two types of configuration (JSON/XML) for using quick-json validating parser

• Require JDK 1.5 # No dependency on external libraries

• Support for Json Generation through object serialization

• Support for collection type selection during parsing process

For e.g.

JsonParserFactory factory=JsonParserFactory.getInstance();
JSONParser parser=factory.newJsonParser();
Map jsonMap=parser.parseJson(jsonString);

Even shorter and with json-functions:

JSONObject songsObject = json.getJSONObject("songs");
JSONArray songsArray = songsObject.toJSONArray(songsObject.names());

You could try something like:

new JSONArray(jsonString)

or if it is a property:

jsonObject.getJSONArray(propertyName)

If you don't already have a JSONArray object, call

JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonArrayString);

Then simply loop through that, building your own array. This code assumes it's an array of strings, it shouldn't be hard to modify to suit your particular array structure.

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i=0; i<jsonArray.length(); i++) {
    list.add( jsonArray.getString(i) );
}

It works for me.

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(result.toString());
JSONArray arr = obj.getJSONArray("value");

//         is = entity.getContent();
ArrayList<String> myList = new ArrayList<String>();


              //convert response to string
            try{

                BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is,"iso-8859-1"),8);
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                String line = null;
                while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                    sb.append(line + "\n");
                }
                is.close();
                result = sb.toString();


            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result "+e.toString());
            }




            //parse json data
            try{
                    jArray = new JSONArray(result);


                    for(int i=0;i<jArray.length();i++){

                        json_data = jArray.getJSONObject(i);

                        myList.add(json_data.getString("id"));
                        Log.i("log_tag","id: " + json_data.getString("id"));
                    }

            }
            catch(JSONException e){
                    Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data "+e.toString());
            }


return myList;

// then u can recieve this myList :

ArrayList<String> get_data_id = postData();
// get_data_id = myList
get_data_id.get(0) - it is first element,
get_data_id.get(1) - it is second element

.... EXAMPLE

json data is : [{"id":"1"},{"id":"2"},{"id":"3"},{"id":"4"},{"id":"5"},{"id":"6"}]
                        {in loop}   myList.add(json_data.getString("id"));
get_data_id.get(0) = 1
get_data_id.get(1) = 2
get_data_id.get(2) = 3
..........
:)

Good Luck
