title: org.json.jsonarray cannot be converted to jsonobject error
body: <p>I have been trying to fix this error for 2 days now, searched and tried multiple coding types from stackoverflow.com. I have checked my JSON <a href="http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/#jsonformatter" rel="nofollow">http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/#jsonformatter</a>. But I am still unable to find out why my code is doing this. I have 3 files. MainACtivity.java that should get the information from my test.json files on my server and then process it to the Events.java. Events.java just displays the information, but the app doesn't make it that far.</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATED CODE IN CASE ANYONE ELSE NEEDS THE FIX FOR THIS.</strong></p>
  
  <p>My Error:</p>
