@MohamedMohaideenAH yet i have followed:- JSONObject jo_res = new JSONObject(response); if (jo_res.optString("flag").equalsIgnoreCase("success")) { JSONArray jsonArray = jo_res.getJSONArray("msg"); GlobalVariable.timeTrackerModels.clear(); for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i); TimeTrackerModel timeTrackerModel = new TimeTrackerModel(jsonObject.getString("date"), jsonObject.getString("login_time"), — Rishikesh Rahi, Oct 04 '18 at 08:54

Try this

 try {
        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
        JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("msg");

        for(int i=0;i < jsonArray.length();i++)
        {
            JSONObject obj = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
            Iterator<?> keys = obj.keys();
            while( keys.hasNext() ) {
                String key = (String)keys.next();
                if(obj.get(key) instanceof JSONObject) {
                    JSONObject dateObj = (JSONObject) obj.get(key);
                    String DATE = dateObj.getString("date");
                    Log.d("DATE",DATE);
                }
            }
        }

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

Here's a small demo code. Please reuse the SimpleDateFormat if you're using it more often.

Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(object.optJSONArray("msg").optJSONObject(i).optString("date","").getTime();

var object = {"flag":"success","msg":[{"2018-10-01":{"date":"2018-10-01","login_time":"1538393123","logout_time":"","logout_message":"","lock_time":"1538393236,1538393671,1538393764","unlock_message":"testing,testing,break time","unlock_time":"1538393363,1538393680,1538395633"}},{"2018-10-03":{"date":"2018-10-03","login_time":"1538548533","logout_time":"","logout_message":"","lock_time":"1538560561,1538561016,1538561260,1538561881","unlock_message":"hey,gggg,gggg5555,fd","unlock_time":"1538560617,1538561100,1538561273,1538566017"}}]};

var msg = object.msg;

var dateobjects = []; // to store the date objects

//to go through the msg array items
for(var i = 0; i < msg.length; i++)
{
    let current = msg[i];

    for(var prop in current)  
        dateobjects.push(current[prop]);
}

// Print date objects in console
console.log(dateobjects);
