Parsing nested JSONObject in Android

Question

In my project, I am getting the following JSON from the HTTP response.

{"base":"USD","date":"2015-04-24","rates":{"AUD":1.2827,"BGN":1.8069,"BRL":2.9733,"CAD":1.2119,"CHF":0.9551,"CNY":6.1948,"CZK":25.364,"DKK":6.8927,"GBP":0.6614,"HKD":7.75,"HRK":7.0284,"HUF":278.53,"IDR":12954.0,"ILS":3.9244,"INR":63.563,"JPY":119.51,"KRW":1078.25,"MXN":15.358,"MYR":3.5741,"NOK":7.8298,"NZD":1.3216,"PHP":44.281,"PLN":3.7076,"RON":4.08,"RUB":51.215,"SEK":8.6674,"SGD":1.3375,"THB":32.55,"TRY":2.7314,"ZAR":12.182,"EUR":0.9239}}

I want to get the "BGN" from the above json. How to get it.

There are multiple steps involved in this

First: Create a jsonObject

JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(yourJSON_String);

Second: Get your desired Object or Array, in your case

obj =  getJSONObject("rates")

Third: Get required String

obj.getString("BGN");

Here is the JSON CLASS REFERENCE

JSONObject responseJson = new JSONObject("<your-string">);
JSONObject ratesJson = responseJson.getJSONObject("rates");
double rate = ratesJson.getDouble("BGN");

To see the JSON object clearly, use PrettyJson. Copy paste the JSON string here and it will show you nested objects (if any) for clearly understanding the response.

Assuming you are using JSONObject, and that your root document is called "doc",

JSONObject rates = doc.getJSONObject("rates") would get you the rates part:

{"AUD":1.2827,"BGN":1.8069,"BRL":2.9733,"CAD":1.2119,"CHF":0.9551,"CNY":6.1948,"CZK":25.364,"DKK":6.8927,"GBP":0.6614,"HKD":7.75,"HRK":7.0284,"HUF":278.53,"IDR":12954.0,"ILS":3.9244,"INR":63.563,"JPY":119.51,"KRW":1078.25,"MXN":15.358,"MYR":3.5741,"NOK":7.8298,"NZD":1.3216,"PHP":44.281,"PLN":3.7076,"RON":4.08,"RUB":51.215,"SEK":8.6674,"SGD":1.3375,"THB":32.55,"TRY":2.7314,"ZAR":12.182,"EUR":0.9239}

From this object you can then simply get the BGN value using

String bgn = rates.getString("BGN")
