java - JSONArray Parsing error -

i need parsing json array.

[     {         "header1": [             {                 "path": "upload/images/1430572021716.jpg"             },             {                 "path": "upload/images/1430574003703.jpg"             }         ]     },     {         "header2": [             {                 "path": "upload/images/1430574124119.jpg"             },             {                 "path": "upload/images/1430574203001.jpg"             }         ]     } ] 

i receiving above jsonarray perfectly. want iterate through array , extract both header text "header1" , value of path

i keep running following error message

at 0 of type org.json.jsonarray cannot converted jsonobject 

after research, due system not being able parse json array. work if change "list" array objct, not array , loose ability iterate through it.

here code tried parse array with

    jsonarray marray;      marray = json;      //download json array     (int = 0; < marray.length(); i++) {         if(marray != null) {             jsonarray list = marray.getjsonarray(i);             if(list != null) {                 for(int = 0; < list.length();a++) {                     jsonobject elem = list.getjsonobject(a);                     if (elem != null) {                             listdata.add(elem.getstring("path"));                      }                 }             }         }     } 

you're trying treat each element of top-level array array - it's not, it's object. object has field value is array. want like:

for (int = 0; < json.length(); i++) {     jsonobject container = json.getjsonobject(i);     // don't know property name, there's one, apparently...     string key = container.keys().next();     jsonarray subarray  = container.getjsonarray(key);     (int j = 0; j < subarray.length(); j++) {         listdata.add(subarray.getjsonobject(j).getstring("path"));     } }
