java - Android: Parsing JSON string inside of double quotes

Question

I am normally using the following code to parse JSON strings:

JSONObject jobj = new JSONObject(message);
strmsg = jobj.getString("text");

when the data is like the below, it works great:

{"emailAddress": "[email protected]"}  

All of a sudden, I am hitting issues when some other data came in. The parse failed and when I debugged, I found out that the string is like the below:

"{"emailAddress":"[email protected]”}"

Apparently, I am getting a JSON string that is inside of double quotes. 2 quick questions: 1)Is this normal, and should JSONObject be able to parse it? 2)If not, what's the recommended way to deal with this?

Answer 1

to trim double quotes from both sides:

strmsg.replaceAll("^"|"$", "")
