Answer 1

If you can edit the server repose then change it to array of JSON objects.

JSON:

[
{PropertyName:"Date of Issue:",PropertyValue:"3/21/2011"},
PropertyName:"Report No:",PropertyValue:"2131196186"},{PropertyName:"Weight:",PropertyValue:"1.00"},
{PropertyName:"Report Type:",PropertyValue:"DG"}
]

And I handled it with JSONArray in client side (Android):

String tempresult="[{PropertyName:"Date of Issue:",PropertyValue:"3/21/2011"},PropertyName:"Report No:",PropertyValue:"2131196186"},PropertyName:"Weight:",PropertyValue:"1.00"},{PropertyName:"Report Type:",PropertyValue:"DG"}]"

JSONArray array = new JSONArray(tempresult);
             for (int i = 0; i < array.length(); i++) 
             {
                 String key = array.getJSONObject(i).getString("PropertyName"); 
                 String value = array.getJSONObject(i).getString("PropertyValue");
                 rtnObject.put(key.trim(),value.trim()); //rtnObject is LinkedHashMap but can be any other object which can keep order.
