title: Converting JSONarray to ArrayList
body: <p>I am downloading a JSON string and converting it to JSONArray.  Im putting it into a listview and need to be able to delete from that listview later, and since JSONArray has no .remove method (Thanks Obama), I am trying to convert it to an arraylist.</p>
  <p>here is my JSON (the array.toString()):</p>
  <pre><code>[
      {
           &quot;thumb_url&quot;:&quot;tb1370913834.jpg&quot;,
           &quot;event_id&quot;:&quot;15&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;44&quot;,
           &quot;event_tagline&quot;:&quot;this is a tagline&quot;,
           &quot;event_name&quot;:&quot;5th birthday&quot;,
           &quot;event_end&quot;:&quot;1370919600&quot;,
           &quot;event_start&quot;:&quot;1370876400&quot;
      }
  ]
  </code></pre>
  <p>I need to get it into an array and be able to call the strings by their respective keys.  Appreciate any help!</p>
