JSON Structure:

i am using example for json google route direction. below structure of json.

  u can get JSON data from this api: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=Tamil%20ndau,Salem&destination=Tamil%20nadu,%20salem&region=in&sensor=false

  This JSON Structure for Multiple array of values

PROBLEM:

How to read multible JsonArray .

SOLUTIONS:

 Before see the below code. please check above the JSON Structure.

String loginUrl = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?

origin=Tamil%20ndau,Salem&destination=Tamil%20nadu,%20

salem&region=in&sensor=false";
 try{
  HttpGet request = new HttpGet(loginUrl);
  HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
  entityResponse = response.getEntity();
  result = EntityUtils.toString(entityResponse);  

  JSONArray array = object.getJSONArray("routes"); 

---Parsing first jsonArray     
      JSONObject routes = array.getJSONObject(0);

---(parsing first jsonarray object)
      String bounds= routes.getString("bounds"); 

-- parsing second josn Array  
      JSONArray legs = routes.getJSONArray("legs"); 

--- (parsing second jsonarray object)   

    JSONObject steps = legs.getJSONObject(0); 

    String distance= routes.getString("distance"); 

  --- parsing third json Array
      JSONArray legs1 = steps.getJSONArray("steps"); 
      for(int i = 0; i < legs1.length(); i++){
      JSONObject steps1 = legs1.getJSONObject(i);

 --parsing third jsonarray objecct      
      String htMlVale = steps1.getString("html_instructions").toString(); 

   -- parsing inside third jsonarray of jsonarray   
      JSONObject distance             =  steps1.getJSONObject("distance");
              String sDistance                =  distance.getString("text");()
         

            }
} 
more question ask me..... or any help about JSON
