String to ArrayList via org.json

Question

I have this string "["a,rt", "der", "a_rt5%"]" and want to convert it to ArrayList<String>. Is there any way to do it via the org.json, if not, in any other way ?

Answer 1

This is actually your JsonArray, so need to work accordingly

public static void main(String[] args) {
        String json = "[\"a,rt\", \"der\", \"a_rt5%\"]";
        JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(json);
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (int i=0; i<jsonArray.length(); i++) {
            list.add( jsonArray.getString(i) );
        }

        System.out.println(list);
    }

Output

[a,rt, der, a_rt5%]
