I'm working on the Code Challenge / Task 3 for Build a Blog Reader Android App -> Getting Data from the Web -> Parsing Data Returned in JSON Format.. The task says
"Finally, write a 'for' loop that loops through 'jsonBooks'. In each step of the loop, use 'getJSONObject(int index)' to get a JSONObject from the array. Then use the 'Log.i()' method (with "CodeChallenge" as the tag) to write the book title, a comma, a space, and the number of pages. Ex. output: 'Book title 1, 300'."
My code is
JSONArray jsonBooks = jsonData.getJSONArray("books");
for(int i = 0; i < jsonBooks.length(); i++){
JSONObject book0 = jsonBooks.getJSONObject(i);
String title0 = book0.getString("title");
String pages0 = book0.getString("pages");
Log.i("CodeChallenge", "Book title " + title0 + ", " + pages0);
}
Could someone please tell me what is not coded correctly or point me toward the coding error?

1,879 PointsThank you sir. I didn't even think of the getstring vs non string info. So used to javascript. Thank you again and for the late pm response.
