I am currently connected to the Spotify sdk and I am currently looking to be able to have a user search for a track and it will return the track number. I have followed the sdk guides to track a song and I get the response as a JSON response, but when I try to create a JSONArray in android from the string response I get, it tells me that it is unable to create the JSONArray. The response I am currently getting is something like this

and my android code looks like this
try {
response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
try {
jsonArray = new JSONArray(responseBody);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Thank you for the help ahead of time ~Rockyfish
Do this
JSONObject jObj;
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(responseBody);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
