    // Creating new JSON Parser
        JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();

        // Getting JSON from URL
        JSONObject json = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(url);

 try {
            // Getting JSON Array
            user = json.getJSONArray(TAG_USER);
            JSONObject c = user.getJSONObject(0);

try to use

if(json.has(TAG_USER))
   user = json.getJSONArray(TAG_USER);

So if there is no such tag u wont get error

UPDATED:

//Storing  JSON item in a Variable
String id = json.getString(TAG_ID);
String name = json.getString(TAG_NAME);
String email = json.getString(TAG_EMAIL);

i tried it but it shows java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'org.json.JSONObject org.json.JSONArray.getJSONObject(int)' on a null object reference

check the updated ans,As per your json there is no jsonarray, you are getting a json object as a response

It because there is no user tag in your response and you are trying to fetch the same.

Your response:

{"status":false,"code":"101","message":"Cannot find a POST request in register"}

and you are doing: user = json.getJSONArray(TAG_USER);, here user tag is missing which throw error.

W/System.err: org.json.JSONException: No value for user

you are not getting user in your response

{"status":false,"code":"101","message":"Cannot find a POST request in register"}

That is the reason you are getting JSONException: No value Error

try with this

if(json.has(TAG_USER))
{
   user = json.getJSONArray(TAG_USER);
   JSONObject c = user.getJSONObject(0);

   // Storing  JSON item in a Variable
   String id = c.getString(TAG_ID);
   String name = c.getString(TAG_NAME);
   String email = c.getString(TAG_EMAIL);


}

It will fetch value for user if it is available in your response

In stead of using 'getJSONMethods' use 'optJSONMethods' if there is a chance of missing tags.

'optMethods' don't throw exceptions. It returns some default values depending on types. Null for type JSONArray.

For your case you can use:

user = json.optJSONArray(TAG_USER);

if(null != user) {
    JSONObject c = user.optJSONObject(0);

    // Storing  JSON item in a Variable
    if(null != c) {
        String id = c.optString(TAG_ID);
        String name = c.optString(TAG_NAME);
        String email = c.optString(TAG_EMAIL);
    }
}
