i validated string online, seems correct. using following code in android development utilize

jsonarray jsonarray = new jsonarray(readlocationfeed); 

this throw exception typemismatch.

i didn't understood problem newbie android java.

here jsonobject change

jsonarray jsonarray = new jsonarray(readlocationfeed);  

line following

jsonobject jsnobject = new jsonobject(readlocationfeed); 

and after

jsonarray jsonarray = jsnobject.getjsonarray("locations"); (int = 0; < jsonarray.length(); i++) {     jsonobject explrobject = jsonarray.getjsonobject(i); }
