How can i get the first url in this json file ? What I have so far is: 

 JSONObject file = (JSONObject) files.get(j); String url = (String) file.get("url"); System.out.println(url);

  • currently am getting the two url but i can't figure out how to get just the first url in the file. I don't know if there is something like .first()? Commented Jun 15, 2013 at 23:56

something like this should work :

JSONArray results = d.getJSONArray("files"); JSONObject p = (JSONObject)results.get(0); url = p.getString("url");
