    <p>I'm trying to parse some JSON but I'm having some trouble.</p> <p>Here's what I have already tried:</p> <pre><code>ContentValues categories = new ContentValues(); JSONObject json = new JSONObject(improvedInputStreamAsString); Iterator keys = json.keys(); while(keys.hasNext()) { Object newObj = keys.next(); String jsonString = newObj.toString(); if(jsonString == "children") { JSONObject newJsn = new JSONObject(jsonString); if(newJsn.has("name")) { String category = newJsn.getString("name"); categories.put("categories", category); } } } </code></pre> <p>I'm only trying to get the category from the <code>JSONObject</code> but for some reason <code>jsonString</code> never evaluates to <code>children</code>.</p> <p>Here's the structure, sorry I pasted such a large portion I find JSON really confusing and it was hard to try and cut it down while retaining its integrity, please remember I am only trying to get the <code>name</code> field:</p> <pre><code>{ "position": "0", "children": [ { "position": "1", "children": [ { "position": "1", "children": [ { "position": "3", "children": [ ], "category_id": "9", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Exfoliants", "parent_id": "4" }, { "position": "4", "children": [ ], "category_id": "10", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Moisturisers", "parent_id": "4" }, { "position": "5", "children": [ ], "category_id": "11", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Treatments", "parent_id": "4" }, { "position": "6", "children": [ ], "category_id": "12", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Cleansers", "parent_id": "4" }, { "position": "7", "children": [ ], "category_id": "13", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Skin Toners", "parent_id": "4" }, { "position": "9", "children": [ ], "category_id": "15", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Serums", "parent_id": "4" }, { "position": "10", "children": [ ], "category_id": "36", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Acne and Blemish Treatments", "parent_id": "4" }, { "position": "11", "children": [ ], "category_id": "40", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Oils", "parent_id": "4" } ], "category_id": "4", "level": "2", "is_active": "1", "name": "Skincare", "parent_id": "2" }, { "position": "2", "children": [ { "position": "1", "children": [ ], "category_id": "16", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Sunscreen", "parent_id": "5" }, { "position": "2", "children": [ ], "category_id": "31", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Insect Repellent &amp; After Bite", "parent_id": "5" }, { "position": "3", "children": [ ], "category_id": "32", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "After Sun Lotions", "parent_id": "5" }, { "position": "4", "children": [ ], "category_id": "33", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Self Tanning Lotions", "parent_id": "5" } ], "category_id": "5", "level": "2", "is_active": "1", "name": "Suncare", "parent_id": "2" }, { "position": "3", "children": [ { "position": "1", "children": [ ], "category_id": "17", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Shampoo", "parent_id": "6" }, { "position": "2", "children": [ ], "category_id": "18", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Conditioner", "parent_id": "6" }, { "position": "3", "children": [ ], "category_id": "19", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Treatments", "parent_id": "6" }, { "position": "4", "children": [ ], "category_id": "20", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Toner", "parent_id": "6" }, { "position": "6", "children": [ ], "category_id": "34", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Styling", "parent_id": "6" }, { "position": "7", "children": [ ], "category_id": "39", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Serum", "parent_id": "6" } ], "category_id": "6", "level": "2", "is_active": "1", "name": "Hair", "parent_id": "2" }, { "position": "0", "children": [ { "position": "1", "children": [ { "position": "1", "children": [ { "position": "3", "children": [ ], "category_id": "9", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Exfoliants", "parent_id": "4" }, { "position": "6", "children": [ ], "category_id": "12", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Cleansers", "parent_id": "4" }, ], "category_id": "4", "level": "2", "is_active": "1", "name": "Skincare", "parent_id": "2" }, { "position": "2", "children": [ { "position": "1", "children": [ ], "category_id": "16", "level": "3", "is_active": "1", "name": "Sunscreen", "parent_id": "5" }, </code></pre>

    1. COJust by looking at the end of that massive JSON fragment I can tell there are a load of unmatched `[`s.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
