Java json extraction data

Question

I have a data in this format.

{"responseData": {"results":[{"GsearchResultClass":"GwebSearch",.......}],"cursor":{"resultCount":"16,900,000","pages":[........

I have put the full text into this first.

JSONObject fullResult = new JSONObject(text);//text represents my data.

JSONObject responseData1 = fullResult.JSONObject("responseData");

here I keep getting this "error: method getJSONObject in class JSONObject cannot be applied to given types;".

I need to extract just the value of resultCount. I keep getting stucked here.

Can I directly access the "resultCount":"16,900,000"? I just need the value of 16,900,000?

@user2711681 No, it is nested in another JSON object. You need to get that JSON object first (and whatever else is in between).
