Get Text from Json and add it to String[]

Question

I want to fetch a text (some urls) from Json and add them straightly to a String[] in android. The text is like

"http://www.androiddrawer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Subway-Surfers-screenshot-4-1.png","http://www.androiddrawer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Subway-Surfers-screenshot-4-2.png","http://www.androiddrawer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Subway-Surfers-screenshot-4-3.png","http://www.androiddrawer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Subway-Surfers-screenshot-4-4.png"

I want to put this text into a String[]. I know I can use this method:

products = json.getJSONArray(TAG_PRODUCTS);
JSONObject c = products.getJSONObject(0);
String name = c.getString(TAG_NAME);

But it gives me String not String[].

By looking your String

"http://www.androiddrawer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Subway-Surfers-screenshot-4-1.png","http://www.androiddrawer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Subway-Surfers-screenshot-4-2.png","http://www.androiddrawer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Subway-Surfers-screenshot-4-3.png","http://www.androiddrawer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Subway-Surfers-screenshot-4-4.png"

It seems that this can be converted into String[].

use like

String[] result = above_string_variable.split(",");

In your case

use

String[] result = c.getString(TAG_NAME).split(",");

instead of

String name = c.getString(TAG_NAME);

This will give him an array of strings but won't remove quotes around values.

@Gustek and where is quotes? I didn't understand what u are saying?

Gustek Over a year ago

"value","value","value" if You split it by comas You are left with array {"\"value\"", "\"value\"", "\"value\"" }

Thanks dear. The answer was brilliant and efficient. But I should have removed quotation marks too.

products = json.getJSONArray(TAG_PRODUCTS);
String[] result = new String[products.length()];
for(int i=0;i<products.length();i++) {

JSONObject c = products.getJSONObject(i);
    result[i] = c.getString(TAG_NAME);
}
