Answer 1

This I think is what you searching for

ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();     
JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray)jsonObject; 
if (jsonArray != null) { 
   for (int i=0;i<jsonArray.length();i++){ 
    list.add(jsonArray.get(i).toString()); 
} 

Answer 2

I just did this yesterday! If you're willing to use a 3rd party library then you can use Google GSON, with the additional benefit of having more concise code.

String json = jsonArray.toString();
Type collectionType = new TypeToken<Collection<String>>(){}.getType();
Collection<String> strings = gson.fromJson(json, collectionType);

for (String element : strings)
{
    Log.d("TAG", "I'm doing stuff with: " + element);
}

You can find more examples in the user guide.

Answer 3

This should help you.

Edit:

Maybe this is what you need:

ArrayList<String> stringArray = new ArrayList<String>();
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
for(int i = 0, count = jsonArray.length(); i< count; i++)
{
    try {
        JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
        stringArray.add(jsonObject.toString());
    }
    catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Answer 4

Another elegant kotlin way:

val list = jsonArray.map { jsonElement -> jsonElement.toString() }

And just convert to array if needed

Answer 5

Assume that you already have JSONArray jsonArray:

String[] stringArray = new stringArray[jsonArray.length()];
for(int i = 0, count = jsonArray.length(); i< count; i++)
{
    try {
        String jsonString = jsonArray.getString(i);
        stringArray[i] = jsonString.toString();
    }
    catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
