To get a JSONObject or JSONArray from a String I've created this class:

public static class JSON {

     public Object obj = null;
     public boolean isJsonArray = false;

     JSON(Object obj, boolean isJsonArray){
         this.obj = obj;
         this.isJsonArray = isJsonArray;
     }
}

Here to get the JSON:

public static JSON fromStringToJSON(String jsonString){

    boolean isJsonArray = false;
    Object obj = null;

    try {
        JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonString);
        Log.d("JSON", jsonArray.toString());
        obj = jsonArray;
        isJsonArray = true;
    }
    catch (Throwable t) {
        Log.e("JSON", "Malformed JSON: \"" + jsonString + "\"");
    }

    if (object == null) {
        try {
            JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
            Log.d("JSON", jsonObject.toString());
            obj = jsonObject;
            isJsonArray = false;
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            Log.e("JSON", "Malformed JSON: \"" + jsonString + "\"");
        }
    }

    return new JSON(obj, isJsonArray);
}

Example:

JSON json = fromStringToJSON("{\"message\":\"ciao\"}");
if (json.obj != null) {

    // If the String is a JSON array
    if (json.isJsonArray) {
        JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray) json.obj;
    }
    // If it's a JSON object
    else {
        JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) json.obj;
    }
}
