Answer 1

First of all please look at some tutorials like:

http://www.androidhive.info/2012/01/android-json-parsing-tutorial/

http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidJSON/article.html

JSONObject response = new JSONObject(respString);
ArrayList<Book> bookCollection = new ArrayList<Book>();//
    if(response.has("results")){
        if(response.has("result")){
            JSONArray resultArray = response.getJSONArray("result");
            for(int iCount=0; iCount<resultArray.length; iCount++){
                JSONObject item = resultArray.getJSONObject(iCount);
                Book book = new Book();
                if(item.has("title")){
                    book.title =item.getString("title");
                }
                bookCollection.add(book);
            }
        }
    }

The pojo to populate

public Book{

public String cover;
public String title;

}

You can try to Parse Current Json String as:

JSONObject response = new JSONObject(respString);
JSONObject jsonobjresults = response.getJSONObject("results");
JSONArray resultArray = jsonobjresults.getJSONArray("result");
Map<Integer,ArrayList<String>> 
                       mapoflisp = new HashMap<Integer,ArrayList<String>>();  
ArrayList<String> listofitem;
for(int i=0; i<resultArray.length; i++){
    JSONObject itemobj = resultArray.getJSONObject(i);
    listofitem=new ArrayList<String>();
    // Add items in List
    listofitem.add(item.getString("cover"));
    listofitem.add(item.getString("title"));
    listofitem.add(item.getString("year"));
    listofitem.add(item.getString("director"));
    listofitem.add(item.getString("rating"));
    listofitem.add(item.getString("details"));

     //add list to Map
    mapoflisp.put(i,listofitem); 

    // your code here...
 }
