  <blockquote>
    <p>06-13 19:24:39.025: E/JSON Parser(17169): Error parsing data
    org.json.JSONException: Value ï»¿ of type java.lang.String cannot be
    converted to JSONObject</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Here is my JSON File:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    {
  "settings":[
    {
       "rss":"true",
       "rss_feed":"http://test.com/rss.rss"
    }
  ],
   "map_locations":[
    {
       "title":"Büro Toronto",
       "address":"123 Younge Street Toronto"
    },
    {
       "title":"Büro New York",
       "address":"Time Square New York"
    }
  ]
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this is my Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();
  
          JSONObject json = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(SETTINGS_URL);
  
          try {
              JSONObject c = json.getJSONArray("settings").getJSONObject(0);
  
              rss = c.getBoolean("rss");
  
              JSONArray jMap = json.getJSONArray("map_locations");
              for (int i = 0; i &lt; jMap.length(); i++) {
                  JSONObject c2 = jMap.getJSONObject(i);
  
                  String map_title = c2.getString("title");
                  String map_address = c2.getString("address");
  
                  mapListTitle.add(map_title);
                  mapListAddress.add(map_address);
              }
  
              URL_TO_RSSFEED = c.getString("rss_feed");
          } catch (JSONException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (NullPointerException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
  </code></pre>
