Error: Error parsing data org.json.JSONException: A JSONArray text must start with '[' at character 1 of

PHP SCRIPT:

print json_encode(array('name' => 'john'));

#
?>

THE RETURN:

09-07 08:49:04.740: INFO/result(704): {"name":"john"}

please help me

Here in this code mention above( JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(result);).result is not a JSONArray and so you need to convert the result into JsonArray by adding "["+result+"]" or you need to create JSONObject.

One answer JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray("["+result+"]");

other answer JSONObject jobject=new JSONObject(result);

Looks like you are trying to parse an object with the Array parser instead of the JSON object parser
