Json object from.json file

Question

I have json file:"document.json" in assets folder

document.json:

{
  "string": "Hello World"
}

Can i do this to get the string in android from a json file?

JSONObject jresponse = new JSONObject(R.assets.document);
string response = jresponse.getString("string");

Am i doing something wrong or is it correct?

Is there any method where we pass .json file and get the required string?

JsonObject doesn't take an R.assets resource... Isn't that an integer? — OneCricketeer, Mar 03 '16 at 06:09

As far as "is it correct?" well, it probably won't compile... — OneCricketeer, Mar 03 '16 at 06:11

No, You have to read the JSON from assets first

 InputStream is = getActivity().getAssets().open("document.json");
        int size = is.available();
        byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
        is.read(buffer);
        is.close();
        String myJson = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");

Then you can parse that

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(myJson);
String myFinalString = obj.getString("")

For further help
