In the adapter You should replace each character you don't need with space like this:

list.get(i).getName().replace("[","");

For a more specific answer, please post your Jason.

Update: [] in Json is JsonArray and {} is for JsonObject. So you should parse your Jso correctly using Gson or any other library you are using.

@MohamedHamza Could you provide the code where you parse the Json? – Elmira Frhn Dec 26 '18 at 12:13

As in the JSON that you attached, the object►items►0►volumeInfo►authors is a JsonArray and same for object►items►0►volumeInfo►categories►

So you need to parse authors and categories into an array of Strings and display the first object of the array in your UI
