How to convert this JSON object into a String array?

Question

I am getting this JSON object from a PHP file on internet:

{
"1": "bar",
"2": "foo",
"3": "umIar",
"4": "shubham"
}

I tried a lot but was unable to convert it to a String array. How to do it?

I used this JAVA code :

public class showNewsFeed extends AsyncTask <String, Void, String> {
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

         HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.ludlowcastle.co.in/getNotifiedDTU/newsFeed.php");
         String result;
         protected String doInBackground(String... voids ){
             try {
                 HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
                 HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
                 InputStream is = entity.getContent();
                 String result = convertStreamToString(is);
                 System.out.println("String response = " + result);
             } catch (Exception e){
                 e.printStackTrace();
             }

             return result;
         }
        protected void onProgressUpdate(Void...voids){

        }


        protected void onPostExecute(String result){
            super.onPostExecute(result);

            try {
                JSONObject obj=new JSONObject(result);
                Iterator iter = obj.keys();
                 while(iter.hasNext()){
                   String key = (String)iter.next();
                   System.out.println(obj.getString(key));
                }

              } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
              }
        }



    }

This is the logcat :

Try this

ArrayList<String> arr=new ArrayList<String>();
JSONObject obj=new JSONObject(response);
Iterator iter = obj.keys();
 while(iter.hasNext()){
   String key = (String)iter.next();
   arr.add(obj.getString(key));
}
