Continuing your class:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private static String url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/rhk01nqlyj5gixl/jsonparsing.txt?dl=1";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //Create a JSON parser Instance ----- Used JSON parser from Android
        JSONParser jParser=new JSONParser();

        //Getting JSON string from URL ------ Used JSON Array from Android
        JSONArray json=jParser.getJSONFromUrl(url);

        List yourData = new ArrayList();

        try {
            for(int i=0;i

adater:

public class ListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {

    public ListAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId) {
        super(context, textViewResourceId);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    private List items;

    public ListAdapter(Context context, int resource, List items) {

        super(context, resource, items);

        this.items = items;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        View v = convertView;

        TextView tt = null;
        TextView tt1 = null;
        TextView tt2 = null;
        TextView tt3 = null;
        TextView tt4 = null;

        if (v == null) {

            LayoutInflater vi;
            vi = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
            v = vi.inflate(R.layout.itemlistrow, null);

            tt = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.age);
            tt1 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.name);
            tt2 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.city);
            tt3 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.gender);
            tt4 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.birthdate);
        }

        Item p = items.get(position);

        if (p != null) {

            if (tt != null) {
                tt.setText(""+p.getAge());
            }
            if (tt1 != null) {

                tt1.setText(""+p.getName());
            }
            if (tt2 != null) {

                tt2.setText(""+p.getCity());
            }

            if (tt3 != null) {

                tt3.setText(""+p.getGender());
            }

            if (tt4 != null) {

                tt4.setText(""+p.getBirthdate());
            }
        }



        return v;

    }
}

object holding data:

public class WhateverObject{
    private int age;
    private String name;
    private String city;
    private String gender;
    private String birthdate;        

    public WhateverObject(int age, String name, String city, String gender, String birthdate){
        this.age = age;
        this.name = name;
        this.city = city;
        this.gender = gender;
        this.birthdate = birthdate;
    }

    public int getAge(){
        return this.age;
    }

    public String getName(){
        return this.name;
    }

    public String getCity(){
        return this.city;
    }

    public String getGender(){
        return this.gender;
    }

    public String getBirthdate(){
        return this.birthdate;
    }
}

xml for listview item (save under itemlistrow name):

Simpler example:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private static String url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/rhk01nqlyj5gixl/jsonparsing.txt?dl=1";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //Create a JSON parser Instance ----- Used JSON parser from Android
        JSONParser jParser=new JSONParser();

        //Getting JSON string from URL ------ Used JSON Array from Android
        JSONArray json=jParser.getJSONFromUrl(url);

        List> personList = new ArrayList>();

        try {
            for(int i=0;i createPerson(int age, String name, String city, String gender, String birthdate) {
        HashMap person = new HashMap();
        person.put("person", name+" | "+age + " | "+city + " | "+gender + " | "+birthdate);
        return person;
    }



}
