JSON Parsing Android: Code Snippet

This Method give whole JSON as a String.

 public static String jsonTest(String Url){  
           DefaultHttpClient  httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(new BasicHttpParams());  
           HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(Url);  
           // Depends on your web service  
           httppost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");  
           InputStream inputStream = null;  
           String result = null;  
           try {  
             HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);        
             HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();  
             inputStream = entity.getContent();  
             // json is UTF-8 by default  
             BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream, "UTF-8"), 8);  
             StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();  
             String line = null;  
             while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)  
             {  
               sb.append(line + "\n");  
             }  
             result = sb.toString();  
           } catch (Exception e) {   
             // Oops  
           }  
           finally {  
             try{if(inputStream != null)inputStream.close();}catch(Exception squish){}  
           }  
           return result;  
      }

Now, You have your JSON in your result String.
Create a JSONObject:

 JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(jsonTest("give your url"));

To get a specific string

 String aJsonString = jObject.getString("your_string_name");

To get a specific double

 double aJsonDouble = jObject.getDouble("your_double_name");

To get a specific JSONArray

 JSONArray jArray = jObject.getJSONArray("your_array_name");

To get the items from the array

 for (int i=0; i < jArray.length(); i++)  
 {  
   try {  
     JSONObject oneObject = jArray.getJSONObject(i);  
     // Pulling items from the array  
     String oneObjectsItem = oneObject.getString("string_name_in_the_array");  
     String oneObjectsItem2 = oneObject.getString("another_string_name_in_the_array");  
   } catch (JSONException e) {  
     // handle with care  
   }  
 }
