    text
    copied!<p>I have a JSON file with 2 JSON-Arrays in it: One Array for routes and one Array for sights.</p> <p>A route should consist of several sights where the user gets navigated to. Unfortunately I am getting the error:</p> <p>JSONException: Value of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject</p> <p>Here are my variables and the code that parses the JSON-File:</p> <pre><code>private InputStream is = null; private String json = ""; private JSONObject jObj = null; try { BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "iso-8859-1"), 8); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); String line = null; while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { sb.append(line + "\n"); } is.close(); // hier habe ich das JSON-File als String json = sb.toString(); Log.i("JSON Parser", json); } catch (Exception e) { Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString()); } // try parse the string to a JSON object try { jObj = new JSONObject(json); } catch (JSONException e) { Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString()); } // return JSON String return jObj; } </code></pre> <p>Log.i("JSON Parser", json); shows me that at the beginning of the generated string there is a strange sign: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/uOiX8.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>but the error happens here:</p> <pre><code>try { jObj = new JSONObject(json); } catch (JSONException e) { Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString()); } </code></pre> <blockquote> <p>04-22 14:01:05.043: E/JSON Parser(5868): Error parsing data org.json.JSONException: Value //STRANGE SIGN HERE // of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject</p> </blockquote> <p>anybody has a clue on how to get rid of these signs in order to create the JSONObject?</p>
