title: How can I parse this json array in android using a url?
body: <p>I am trying to parse more than one json array which consists of nested json arrys. I have googled a lot but couldn't understand exactly what to do. I have done the following code but it doesn't give me all the values.</p>
  
  <p>I have done this coding so far and the <code>result</code> string displays <code>items array</code> and the <code>jArray</code> displays <code>questions array</code>. I am totally new to json and hence please help me step by step.</p>
