    JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(json);
    List<String> items = new ArrayList<String>();

    JSONArray jArray = obj.getJSONArray("news");

    for (int i = 0; i < jArray.length(); i++) {

    });

} catch (Exception e) {
    // In your production code handle any errors and catch the
    // individual exceptions
    e.printStackTrace();
}

To start debugging something like this, figure out where the data is, and where it isn't. Android has some excellent debugging routines, the Log.v statements. Basically, start putting code like this in, and see where your problem lies. If you get it down to a specific thing that isn't working right, then give us the inputs to the block, the outputs your getting, and what it should be.

Log.v("JSON",""+items)
