The one I shared now… It has data arranged in some array, I guess… Thats what I didnt notice earlier… Getting an error because of it

Check this @Pankit , it should work and I hope it is very easy to understand…
Json to get ID.zip (2.3 KB)

As we have arrays inside the JSON data, we need to pass the root element which the array contains and deserialize the array. Then we have to give the index of the array (The activity doesn’t know if there is only one or more arrays present in the string) .
If you have any doubts, let me know.
