Question

how to parse sub array like as getString("sub") using gson lib in android.

<pre>
{
   "name"  : "abc";
  "class" : "xyz";
   "address" : {[
             "add" : "1";
             "sub" :["abc"];
          ]}

Answer 1

First of all you should reduce your JSON to correct form:

{
   "name"  : "abc",
   "class" : "xyz",
   "address" : [
         {"add" : "1",
         "sub" :["abc"]}
      ]
}

Now, create objects with following structure:

class Foo{
   String name;
   String class;
   Address[] address;
}

class Address{
   String add;
   String[] sub; 
}

And on this step you can easily parse JSON to an object, by calling this line:

Foo foo = new Gson().fromJson(json, Foo.class);
