I've done it using Gson (by Google).

Add the following line to your module's build.gradle:

dependencies {
  // ...
  // Note that `compile` will be deprecated. Use `implementation` instead.
  // See https://stackoverflow.com/a/44409111 for more info
  implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.2'
}

JSON string:

private String jsonString = "[\n" +
            "        {\n" +
            "                \"id\": \"c200\",\n" +

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) );
}

Internally this JsonArray implements list interface so type casting to List is perfectly fine. Moreover iterating each and every element will access list one by one which will be overhead(Performance impact).

If you need alternate way you can use toCollection static method from the same JsonArray class

Aazelix, your Json output seem to be missing opening array bracket. Its correct form is listed below:

{"output":[{"name":"Name3","URI":"Value3"},{"name":"Name5","URI":"Value5"},{"name":"Name4","URI":"Value4"}]}

As for the conversion to POJO

List<MyObj> list = new ArrayList<>();
if (outputs!= null) { 
  int len = outputs.length();
  for (int i=0; i<len; i++) { 
    JSONObject o = (JSONObject) outputs.get(i);
    list.add(new MyObj(o.getString('name'), o.getString('URL')));
  } 
} 
System.out.println("There is " + list.size() + " objects.");


public static final class MyObj {
  final String name;
  final String url;

  public MyObj(String name, String url) {
     this.name = name;
     this.url  = url;
  }
}

Try with correct case for videoId, like

list.add(json.getString("videoId"));

Move this before the for loop

  ArrayList<OrderUser> listOrderUser = new ArrayList<OrderUser>();

Then simply add an item using, listOrderUser.add(<your_model_item>);

and after the for loop, do a notifyDataSetChanged(); on the recyclerView Adapter

Simplest and correct code is:

public static String[] toStringArray(JSONArray array) {
    if(array==null)
        return new String[0];
    
    String[] arr=new String[array.length()];
    for(int i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {
        arr[i]=array.optString(i);
    }
    return arr;
}

Using List<String> is not a good idea, as you know the length of the array. Observe that it uses arr.length in for condition to avoid calling a method, i.e. array.length(), on each loop.

I think the problem could be something to do with toString() on JSONArray. But are you using obj.getAsJsonArray method?

Try this:

JSONArray arr = obj.getAsJsonArray("result"); 

            Type listType = new TypeToken<List<Noticia>>() {
            }.getType();
            return new Gson().fromJson(arr , listType);
