jackson? gson? libraries that help you parse pretty easily through elements — Andrei Sfat, Sep 29 '14 at 08:05
you're using JSONParser. If you have jackson in your project, just do a ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); AClassThatMatchesTheModelOfThatJson thatModel = mapper.readValue(response, AClassThatMatchesTheModelOfThatJson.class); — Andrei Sfat, Sep 29 '14 at 08:12

Decode your string using JSONArray(String json) constructor:

String response = response.getBody(); 
JSONArray res = new JSONArray(response);
String bId = res.getJSONObject(0).get("bId");
System.out.println(bid);

EDIT

Try following:

  String response=response.getBody(); 
  JSONObject res = new JSONObject();
  System.out.println(res);
  int len=res.size();
  System.out.println(len);
  JSONParser parser=new JSONParser();
    Object obj = parser.parse(response);
    JSONArray array = (JSONArray)obj;
    res=(JSONObject)array.get(0);
    System.out.println(res.get("bId"));

Output :

n86nbnhbnghgy76

This one is based on your code and with Simple Json Library.

.still same error - The constructor JSONArray(String) is undefined – user3189357 Sep 29 '14 at 08:29
Note `JSONArray.fromObject(response);` is what youshould use look at second line. – Darshan Lila Sep 29 '14 at 08:30
..it showing this error- The method fromObject(String) is undefined for the type JSONArray – user3189357 Sep 29 '14 at 08:35
Download json library from http://sourceforge.net/projects/json-lib/ link. You'll be good to go. – Darshan Lila Sep 29 '14 at 08:40
i have added import org.json.simple.JSONArray; import org.json.simple.JSONObject;this class.but still same error. – user3189357 Sep 29 '14 at 08:46
I have edited my post look at the update. This surely would solve your doubts. – Darshan Lila Sep 29 '14 at 08:59
