Without a look at your exact JSON output, it's hard to give you some working code. This tutorial is very useful, but you could use something along the lines of:

JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject("yourJsonString");

Then you can retrieve from this json object using:

String value = jsonObj.getString("yourKey");

You need to use JSONObject like below   String mJsonString   downloadFileFromInternet urls 0     JSONObject jObject   null  try       jObject   new JSONObject mJsonString      catch  JSONException e        e printStackTrace        return false           private String downloadFileFromInternet String url        if url    null      url isEmpty      true            new IllegalArgumentException  url is empty null        StringBuilder sb   new StringBuilder        InputStream inStream   null      try               url   urlEncode url           URL link   new URL url           inStream   link openStream            int i          int total   0          byte   buffer   new byte 8   1024           while  i inStream read buffer      -1                        if total  gt    1024   1024                                 return                               total    i              sb append new String buffer 0 i                        catch Exception e                 e printStackTrace            return null       catch OutOfMemoryError e                e printStackTrace            return null            return sb toString       private String urlEncode String url        if url    null      url isEmpty      true            return null      url   url replace              url   url replace              url   url replaceAll       20        return url      Hope this helps you

For the sake of a complete solution to this problem  yes  I know that this post died long ago        If you want a JSONObject  then first get a String from the result   String jsonString   EntityUtils toString response getEntity       Then you can get your JSONObject   JSONObject jsonObject   new JSONObject jsonString

The string that you get is just the JSON Object toString    It means that you get the JSON object  but in a String format   If you are supposed to get a JSON Object you can just put   JSONObject myObject   new JSONObject result
