I have a problem with getting decoded string from JSON. I am connected with web service and get JSON: {"pdf":"JVBERi0xLjQKJeLjz9MKNyAwIG9iaiAKPDwKL0ZpbHRlciAvRmxhdGVE...
this is string but encoded in Base64. I try decode that using:
JSONObject jsonMap = new JSONObject(out.toString());
String json =jsonMap.getJSONObject("pdf").toString();
byte temp[];
Base64 b = null;
temp = b.decode(json.getBytes(), 0);
but this solution doesn't work. Any ideas? This is error log:

it is looks like problem is in line :String json =jsonMap.getJSONObject("pdf").toString(); because in debugger after that line I get error
but this solution doesn't work.is not a clear information. error message, would be better. Also, If that is your text, then that is not a JSON string. JSON require either[]or{}as wrapper.out.toString();Besides he has posted enough errorlog information with it. And according to one of the answers, it seems like the JSONException that occured is stating that the type of value your retrieving isn't the same type as you specify it is.
