Answer 1

Using @Chao answer i can solve my problem. Other way also we can check this.

This is my Json response

{
  "message": "Club Details.",
  "data": {
    "main": [
      {
        "id": "47",
        "name": "Pizza",

      }
    ],

    "description": "description not found",
    "open_timings": "timings not found",
    "services": [
      {
        "id": "1",
        "name": "Free Parking",
        "icon": "http:\/\/hoppyclub.com\/uploads\/services\/ic_free_parking.png"
      } 
    ]
  }
}

Now you can check like this that which object is JSONObject or JSONArray in response.

String response = "above is my reponse";

    if (response != null && constant.isJSONValid(response))
    {
        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);

        JSONObject dataJson = jsonObject.getJSONObject("data");

        Object description = dataJson.get("description");

        if (description instanceof String)
        {
            Log.e(TAG, "Description is JSONObject...........");
        }
        else
        {
            Log.e(TAG, "Description is JSONArray...........");
        }
    }

This is used for check that received json is valid or not

public boolean isJSONValid(String test) {
        try {
            new JSONObject(test);
        } catch (JSONException ex) {
            // e.g. in case JSONArray is valid as well...
            try {
                new JSONArray(test);
            } catch (JSONException ex1) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
