How to handle string response from php using android volley JsonObjectRequest [com.android.volley.ParseError: org.json.JSONException]?

Question

Actually when we call API and send request in JSON format we are expecting response also come into JSON format. But here back end team sending me response in String format therefore my onErrorResponse () method get called. Here my status code is 200. But due to format of response not executed onResponse () method. So will you please help me to handle this? Might be I have to use CustomRequest here. Any suggestoin will be appreciated. Thanks

I have used volley json object request for accessing server.

My Request format is:

JSONObject json1 = new JSONObject();

try{
json1.put("","");
}catch(JSONException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}

new SampleJsonObjTask(MainActivity.this, json1);

and my SampleJsonObjTask class is:

public class SampleJsonObjTask {
    public static ProgressDialog progress;
    private static RequestQueue queue;
    JSONObject main;
    JsonObjectRequest req;
    private MainActivity context;
    public SampleJsonObjTask(MainActivity context, JSONObject main) {

        progress = new ProgressDialog(context);
        progress.setMessage("Loading...");
        progress.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);
        progress.setCancelable(false);
        progress.show();
        this.context = context;
        this.main = main;
        ResponseTask();
    }

    private void ResponseTask() {
        if (queue == null) {
            queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
        }
        req = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, "", main,
                new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
                        progress.dismiss();
                        Log.e("response","response--->"+response.toString());

                    }
                }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
            @Override
            public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                Log.e("error", "error--->" + error.toString());
                NetworkResponse response = error.networkResponse;
                Log.e("statusCode","statusCode--->"+response.statusCode);
                String json = null;
                if (response != null && response.data != null) {
                    switch (response.statusCode) {
                        case 400:
                            break;

                        case 401:
                            json = new String(response.data);
                            break;
                        case 502:
                            json = new String(response.data);
                            break;
                        case 200:
                            json = new String(response.data);
                            break;
                    }
                    progress.dismiss();
                }
            }
        })

        {
            @Override
            public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
                Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
                params.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
                return params;
            }
        };
        req.setRetryPolicy(new DefaultRetryPolicy(20 * 1000, 0, 1f));
        queue.add(req);

    }}

RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
    StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, url,
            new Response.Listener<String>() {
                @Override
                public void onResponse(String response) {
                    try {
                        dialog.cancel();
                        Log.d("response", response);
                    }catch (Exception e){
                        volleyResponseCallBack.onFailure("Something went wrong!");
                    }
                }
            },
            new Response.ErrorListener() {
                @Override
                public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError volleyError) {
                    String message = null;
                    dialog.cancel();

                    if (volleyError instanceof NetworkError) {
                        message = "Cannot connect to Internet...Please check your connection!";
                    } else if (volleyError instanceof ServerError) {
                        message = "The server could not be found. Please try again after some time!!";
                    } else if (volleyError instanceof AuthFailureError) {
                        message = "Cannot connect to Internet...Please check your connection!";
                    } else if (volleyError instanceof ParseError) {
                        message = "Parsing error! Please try again after some time!!";
                    } else if (volleyError instanceof NoConnectionError) {
                        message = "Cannot connect to Internet...Please check your connection!";
                    } else if (volleyError instanceof TimeoutError) {
                        message = "Connection TimeOut! Please check your internet connection.";
                    }

                    if (!(message == null)) {
                        Log.d("response", message);
                    }
                }
            }) {
        @Override
        protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
            Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
            params.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
            return params;
        }
    };


    stringRequest.setRetryPolicy(new DefaultRetryPolicy(
            0,
            DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES,
            DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT));
    queue.add(stringRequest);
