jackson - com.android.volley.ParseError: org.json.JSONException

Question

I got this error from volley library

@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
    error.printStackTrace();
}

the error

com.android.volley.ParseError: org.json.JSONException: Value [{"id":"admin","name":"Admin"}] of type org.json.JSONArray cannot be converted to JSONObject

How can I receive the result as string and then I will process it using jackson ?

Answer 1

If you want to receive the result as a string don't use the JSONRequest. Go with the simple Request class. Your problem is pretty simple the server is giving back a JSONArray with just one element inside. A JSONArray is not a JSONObject. That's why the parsing is failing.
