JSON Array iteration in Android/Java

I think this code is short and clear:

int id;
String name;
JSONArray array = new JSONArray(string_of_json_array);
for (int i = 0; i < array.length(); i++) {
    JSONObject row = array.getJSONObject(i);
    id = row.getInt("id");
    name = row.getString("name");
}

Is that what you were looking for?


I have done it two different ways,

1.) make a Map

        HashMap<String, String> applicationSettings = new HashMap<String,String>();
        for(int i=0; i<settings.length(); i++){
            String value = settings.getJSONObject(i).getString("value");
            String name = settings.getJSONObject(i).getString("name");
            applicationSettings.put(name, value);
        }

2.) make a JSONArray of names

    JSONArray names = json.names();
    JSONArray values = json.toJSONArray(names);
    for(int i=0; i<values.length(); i++){
        if (names.getString(i).equals("description")){
            setDescription(values.getString(i));
        }
        else if (names.getString(i).equals("expiryDate")){
            String dateString = values.getString(i);
            setExpiryDate(stringToDateHelper(dateString)); 
        }
        else if (names.getString(i).equals("id")){
            setId(values.getLong(i));
        }
        else if (names.getString(i).equals("offerCode")){
            setOfferCode(values.getString(i));
        }
        else if (names.getString(i).equals("startDate")){
            String dateString = values.getString(i);
            setStartDate(stringToDateHelper(dateString));
        }
        else if (names.getString(i).equals("title")){
            setTitle(values.getString(i));
        }
    }

Unfortunately , JSONArray doesn't support foreach statements, like:

for(JSONObject someObj : someJsonArray) {
    // do something about someObj
    ....
    ....
}
