The string that you pass to the constructor JSONObject has to be escaped with quote():

public static java.lang.String quote(java.lang.String string)

Your code would now be:

JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject.quote(jsonString.toString());
System.out.println(jsonString);
System.out.println("---------------------------");
System.out.println(jsonObj);
