How to access Object value in unnamed JSON Object array in Java?

Gerb68

[{
	"name": "requisitions",
	"id": "PR2"
}]

I am trying to access 'id' in the above JSONObject but the array is unnamed so how can I access it.

The JSONObject result below contains the above JSONObject

JSONObject result = new JSONObject(obj.getString("RESULT"));
                JSONArray resultArray = result.getJSONArray(????);
... and then for loop through resultArray.length() with resultArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("id");

But I cant seem to acess the JSONArray. I also tried...

JSONArray resultArray = new JSONArray(result.toString());

Any help with this is much appreciated.

If obj.getString("RESULT") is returning the array string ( i.e. '[{ "name": "requisitions", "id": "PR2" }]' ) then you pass it directly to the JSONArray constructor.

The following code uses a for loop just in case there is more than one object within the array and you need to iterate through them.

JSONArray result = new JSONArray( obj.getString("RESULT") );
for (int i=0; i < result.length(); i++) {
  JSONObject resultObj = result.getJSONObject( i );
  /* resultObj : { "name": "requisitions", "id": "PR2" } */
  String resultObjName = resultObj.getString("name");
  String resultObjId = resultObj.getString("id");
}

If there's only a single object or you're only interested in the first element then you don't need the loop:

JSONArray result = new JSONArray( obj.getString("RESULT") );
JSONObject resultObj = result.getJSONObject(0);
String resultObjName = resultObj.getString("name");
String resultObjId = resultObj.getString("id");
