How to get any string from JSON array in Android

Question

My server is sending me JSON data in the following format:

{  
   "sub":"system",
   "created":1525944295496,
   "exp":1526001295,
   "user":{  
      "userId":"5af2e4f4dae7bb353ac9d9d2",
      "userFirstName":"Sastra",
      "userMiddleName":"Test",
      "userLastName":"Creations",
      "userAccountType":null,
      "userOrganizationName":null,
      "userEmail":"sastratestmail@gmail.com",
      "userPhone":"9841987654",
      "username":"system",
      "userGender":"male",
      "userAddress":null,
      "userPassword":null,
      "userRole":null,
      "userStatus":null,
      "userCreatedBy":null,
      "userDateCreated":null,
      "userDateLong":null,
      "userModifiedBy":null,
      "userDateModified":null,
      "userIsDisabled":null,
      "userTrackers":null,
      "userFeatures":null,
      "userCode":null,
      "token":null
   }
}

I am using following implementation but it's not working I can get the sub, created, exp data from above but not data inside from the "user" array. I try to use

public void onResponse(String response) {
                try {
                    jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);


                } catch (JSONException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                String token = null;
                try {
                    token = jsonObject.getString("result");
                    String decoded = DecodeToken.decoded(token);
                    JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(decoded);
                    String userId = obj.getString("sub");



                    Log.d("MyLogs", "" + decoded);
                    Log.d("MyLogs", "" + obj);

//                    Log.d("MyLogs", "" + sub);
                    Log.d("MyLogs", "" + userId);
// The following implementation is throwing error like
// {Above Json data} of type org.json.JSONObject cannot be converted to JSONArray

                    JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(decoded);

// This gets you the first (zero indexed) element of the above array.
                    JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(0);
                    String userId = jsonObject.getString("userId");
                    Log.d("GMap",""+userId);


                } catch (JSONException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

What I need to do is get data from "user" array. How can I achieve this. ??

Better use google GSON to covert JSON to Object its easy and relevant. — Abhishek, May 10 '18 at 09:42
user is not JsonArray , user is a simple JsonObject. You can identify it as it doesn't have square braces [ ]. You've a JsonObject within a JsonObject case. — Danger, May 10 '18 at 09:48
@Danger Thanks man!! I am a real fool, I was implementing array for an object :D :D — Apple Appala, May 10 '18 at 09:53
@Abhishek Thanks for the suggestion, I have got an answer but will surely take a look at GSON too. — Apple Appala, May 10 '18 at 09:55

org.json.JSONException: Value

JSONException Thrown to indicate a problem with the JSON API.

JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(decoded);
JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(0);

Problem coming from getJSONObject(0); And JSONArray . You should add getJSONObject("user").

JSONObject jsonDATA= response.getJSONObject("user");
