Solution

  • Use

       String searchedTerm = jsonObject.getString(TAG_SEARCHEDTERM);
   JSONArray results = jsonObject.getJSONArray(TAG_RESULTS);

    instead of

      JSONObject searchedTerm = jsonObject.getJSONObject(TAG_SEARCHEDTERM);
  JSONArray results = searchedTerm.getJSONArray(TAG_RESULTS);

    because TAG_SEARCHEDTERM is key-value pair instead of JSONObject and you are trying to cast a String value to JsonObject.
