Stuck on Code Challenge: Adapting data for display in a list

Hello,

I am stuck on the question.. "Some YouTube data in the file 'data.json' has been loaded into a JSONObject named 'jsonData'. Using 'data.json' as your guide, write a 'for' loop that loops through 'jsonVideos'. In each step of the loop, store the value of the 'title' property in the 'titles' array."

Here is my code:

JSONArray jsonVideos = jsonData.getJSONArray("videos"); String[] titles = new String[jsonVideos.length()];

for (int i = 0; i < jsonVideos.length(); i++){ JSONObject post = jsonVideos.getJSONObject(i); String title = post.getString("title"); title = Html.fromHtml(title).toString(); titles[i] = title; }

The error I get is:

JavaTester.java:72: cannot find symbol symbol : variable Html location: class JavaTester title = Html.fromHtml(title).toString(); ^ 1 error

Help?

Nevermind.. I figured it out. I just completely removed the:

title = Html.fromHtml(title).toString();

line and it worked fine.

In the for loop, why do you have to write this code "JSONObject post = jsonVideos.getJSONObject(i);"?
