Parsing Data Returned in JSON Format

The data in the file 'data.json' has been loaded into a JSONObject named 'jsonData'. Using 'data.json' as your guide, create String variables named 'name', 'publisher', and 'language' and set them to the appropriate values from 'data.json' using the 'jsonData' object.

ans - JSONObject jsonData = new JSONObject(jsonData); String name,publisher,language = jsonData.getString("name", "publisher", "language"); Log.v("Treehouse Book Series", "Wiley", "English");

then what is going wrong with this. please help me .

The getString method returns a single String so it makes sense to declare each variable on a new line.

Try this! 

// JSONObject 'jsonData' was loaded from data.json
String name = jsonData.getString("name");
String publisher = jsonData.getString("publisher");
String language = jsonData.getString("language");
