  <p>i need to store it either in String or in JSONObject so that i can move a head to work with this.
  after adding code : </p>
  
  <pre><code>MenuFields menuFieldInstance[];// an array of bean Class
  Gson gson = new Gson();
   String jsonObjectString ="{\n\n\n {\n \"id\": 22,\n \"menu_id\": 1,\n \"field_type_id\": 1,\n \"c4w_code\": \"1234\",\n \"field_label\": \"Customer No\",\n \"field_values\": \"\",\n \"date_Created\": \"2012-09-16 05:11:23\",\n \"date_modified\": \"2013-11-20 10:33:23\",\n \"is_required\": 0,\n \"is_static\": 1,\n \"field_order\": 1\n },\n {\n \"id\": 23,\n \"menu_id\": 1,\n \"field_type_id\": 1,\n \"c4w_code\": \"1234\",\n \"field_label\": \"Company Name\",\n \"field_values\": \"\",\n \"date_Created\": \"2012-09-16 05:11:56\",\n \"date_modified\": \"2013-11-20 10:33:23\",\n \"is_required\": 1,\n \"is_static\": 1,\n \"field_order\": 3\n }\n\n}";

      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
          context = this;
                  menuFieldInstance = gson.fromJson(jsonObjectString,MenuFields[].class);
             for(int i=0;i&lt;jsonObjectString.length();i++)
             {
                 Log.i("menuField Instance ",""+menuFieldInstance[i].getId());
