JSON Parser exception: Value .. cannot be converted to JSONObject [closed]

Answer 1

We need the original JSON pasted with your answer and the stack trace. Sniffing through your code though,

1. are you sure your JSON is valid? You can verify with this: http://jsonlint.com

2. at JSONObject c = genre.getJSONObject(i);, are you sure the genre array contains JSONObjects, and not Strings representing JSON?

3. at jObj = new JSONObject(json);, are you sure that json represents valid JSON?

4. are you sure that the value corresponding to TAG_ID is a String type, and not a long say? String id = c.getString(TAG_ID); could perhaps be: long id = c.getLong(TAG_ID);

It is hard to be of more help without further assistance from you.

Edit: Based on your comment, where you post your JSON format, you will need to answer point (3) above. Your id field has an integer type, not String type.

Answer 2

Here you have declared this as a

 private static final String TAG_CONTACTS = "genre";

and in your Json is

 {"genres":[{"id":28,"name":"Action"},{"id":12,"name":"Adventure"},    {"id":16,"name":"Animation"},{"id":35,"name":"Comedy"},{"id":80,"name":"Crime"},{"id":105,"name":"Disaster"},{"id":99,"name":"Documentary"},{"id":18,"name":"Drama"},{"id":82,"name":"Eastern"},{"id":2916,"name":"Erotic"},{"id":10751,"name":"Family"},{"id":10750,"name":"Fan Film"},{"id":14,"name":"Fantasy"},{"id":10753,"name":"Film Noir"},{"id":10769,"name":"Foreign"},{"id":36,"name":"History"},{"id":10595,"name":"Holiday"},{"id":27,"name":"Horror"},{"id":10756,"name":"Indie"},{"id":10402,"name":"Music"},{"id":22,"name":"Musical"},{"id":9648,"name":"Mystery"},{"id":10754,"name":"Neo-noir"},{"id":1115,"name":"Road Movie"},{"id":10749,"name":"Romance"},{"id":878,"name":"Science Fiction"},{"id":10755,"name":"Short"},{"id":9805,"name":"Sport"},{"id":10758,"name":"Sporting Event"},{"id":10757,"name":"Sports Film"},{"id":10748,"name":"Suspense"},{"id":10770,"name":"TV movie"},{"id":53,"name":"Thriller"},{"id":10752,"name":"War"},{"id":37,"name":"Western"}]}

So there is missing "s" in your declare of string for TAG_CONTACTS

So change it from

 private static final String TAG_CONTACTS = "genre";

to

private static final String TAG_CONTACTS = "genres";

Answer 3

Implement in this way.It may be help u..

 getJsonResponse(String url){
    try {
                JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(url);
                    JSONArray list = jObject.getJSONArray("genres");

                    for (int i = 0; i < list.length(); i++) {
                        JSONObject element = list.getJSONObject(i);
    String id=element.getString("id);
    }
    }

}
