Log.i is wrong

// JSONObject 'jsonData' was loaded from data.json JSONArray jsonShows = jsonData.getJSONArray("shows");

for(int i = 0; i < jsonShows.length(); i++) { JSONObject show = jsonShows.getJSONObject(i); String title = show.getString("title");

Log.i("CodeChallenge", "title"+ title); }

Why is the Log.i wrong?

CodeChallenge.java 
// JSONObject 'jsonData' was loaded from data.json
JSONArray jsonShows = jsonData.getJSONArray("shows");

for(int i = 0; i < jsonShows.length(); i++) {
  JSONObject show = jsonShows.getJSONObject(i);
  String title = show.getString("title");

  Log.i("CodeChallenge", "title"+ title);
}
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
        }
    ]
}

Hello,

You're currently printing the text "title" and then the title instead of just the title for each entry. This challenge just wants you to print the title and no other information.

Here's the answer :)

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

for(int i=0; i<jsonShows.length(); i++){
JSONObject show = jsonShows.getJSONObject(i);
 jsonShows.getString("title");

Log.i("CodeChallenge",show.getString("title"));
}
