Man you should at least search? If you are new to android development then learn [JSON Parsing](http://www.technotalkative.com/android-json-parsing/) — Paresh Mayani, May 22 '15 at 10:36
And there are many questions/answers already exists on Stackoverflow! — Paresh Mayani, May 22 '15 at 10:37
Yes i did search,but i am confused on accessing the main tag inside dish description since the parenthesis is inside the quotes.Can anybody help me here? — Sourav Mandal, May 22 '15 at 10:42
If you don't want to manually parse and if your JSON is fixed then use `GSON` library! With that you just need to define the POJO class! — Paresh Mayani, May 22 '15 at 10:46

Refer below way to parse json response, If you are getting response in string otherwise remove JSONArray array = new JSONArray("res") line if getting json array.

try {
                    JSONArray array = new JSONArray("res");

                    for (int i = 0; i < array.length(); i++) {
                        JSONObject jsonObject = array.getJSONObject(i);

                        String vendor_name = jsonObject.getString("vendor_name");// same way parse all string


                        if(jsonObject.has("dish_description")){

                        String dish = jsonObject.getString("dish_description");

                        dish = dish.replaceAll("[\\W]", "");

                        JSONObject  jsonObject2 = new JSONObject(dish);

                        String  main = jsonObject2.getString("main");// same way get other one 


                        }


                    }
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

how do i access the main tag of dish description?since the parenthesis is inside quotes – Sourav Mandal May 22 '15 at 10:40
You can get it into String as I mentioned and now its up to you how to use that string. – Anjali Tripathi May 22 '15 at 10:42
Is there any other way other than string editing?,coz i am looking for nested multilevel tags,but i cannot use them due to nesting parenthesis of "dish_description" being included inside its string field!! – Sourav Mandal May 22 '15 at 10:58
you can do editing with your string but it is necessary to get it into string – Anjali Tripathi May 22 '15 at 11:02
what is your requirement ? – Anjali Tripathi May 22 '15 at 11:03
My requirement is to know and point all the field tags of dish_description,since the number of fields in it are dynamic.Anyways,thanks for the help..:) – Sourav Mandal May 22 '15 at 11:09
you can do one take it into string then convert it into jsonObject – Anjali Tripathi May 22 '15 at 11:12
before parsing to jsonObject remove all \ with empty space. – Anjali Tripathi May 22 '15 at 11:13
know check updated answer. – Anjali Tripathi May 22 '15 at 11:21
Thank you very much...:)..made some edits though – Sourav Mandal May 22 '15 at 11:41
