        "Category" : "Decoration & Hardware",
        "City" : "Sangrur"
      }
    },
    {
      "node" : {
        "title" : "Loaffer Hut Garments",
        "Contact" : "8591697698",
        "Category" : "Fashion & Garments",
        "City" : "Sangrur"
      }
    },

      "node" : {
        "title" : "BCB English Academy and Visa Guidance",

there is a difference in format [ { "vehicleType": "excavator", "vehicleColor": "yellow", "fuel": "diesel", "approvedOperators": [ { "name": "Greg Stark", "experiencePoints": 13 }, { "name": "Aarti Patel", "experiencePoints": 21 }, { "name": "Tarek Mizan", "experiencePoints": 9 } ], "treadType": "plate chain" }, "treadType": "wheel" } ] — Parveen Kumar, Feb 11 '15 at 10:19
You should learn to adapt the changes instead of yelling the structure is different. Read up the API documentation. — Raptor, Feb 11 '15 at 10:32

Assuming that the JSON syntax of your receiving data conforms to the standard model you can parse JSON in android with one of the libraries already present in the org.json package (eg. JSONArray for arrays).

I'd suggest you take a look at GSON library ( my personal preference, there are of course many others) for it makes it easier to focus on your business logic and not occupy yourself with parsing JSON.
