How to check if JSONArray Element is null

Question

I can\'t figure out how to determine is an element that lives inside a json array is null. To check if the jsonObject itself is null, you simply use:

jsonObj         


        

Answer 1

I guess json passes null values as strings, so you can't check null as a java element. Instead treat the null value as a string as check this way:

if(!mapItem.getString("date").equals("null")) {
    //Value is not null
}

I have updated the code snippet in the original question to a working version.
