getting the rest of the shows in the json array?

Not sure but its saying that the shows string cant be converted and im not sure what it needs as the next parameter in the Log.i tag since its not working with the string.

CodeChallenge.java 
// JSONObject 'jsonData' was loaded from data.json

JSONArray jsonShows = jsonData.getJSONArray("shows");

  for (int i = 0; i < jsonShows.length(); i++) {
    JSONObject shows = jsonShows.getJSONObject(i);
    Log.i("CCodeChallenge",);
  }
data.json 
{
    "name":"Netflix Playlist",
    "shows":[
        {
            "title":"Doctor Who",
            "season":8,
            "episode":3
        },
        {
            "title":"Arrow",
            "season":1,
            "episode":10
        },
        {
            "title":"Portlandia",
            "season":4,
            "episode":5
        }
    ]
}

Here is the answer:

JSONArray jsonShows = jsonData.getJSONArray("shows");

for (int i = 0; i < jsonShows.length(); i++) {
    JSONObject shows = jsonShows.getJSONObject(i);
    String title = shows.getString("title");   
    Log.i("CodeChallenge", title);
  }

The data in the file data.json has been loaded into a JSONObject named jsonData. Using data.json as your guide, create a JSONArray object named jsonShows and set it to the array of shows from data.json using the jsonData object.

Firs of all dont forget to delete the extra "C" in the "CCodeChallenge" If I remember right. you need to put: shows + " ". and it will work for you.
