catch the "Error" element like JSONObject, not JSONArray.

You can use GSON. Take a look at this article. You parse it like this:

public void runJSONParser(){
        try{
        Log.i("MY INFO", "Json Parser started..");
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        Reader r = new InputStreamReader(getJSONData("http://search.twitter.com/trends.json"));
        Log.i("MY INFO", r.toString());
        TwitterTrends objs = gson.fromJson(r, TwitterTrends.class);
        Log.i("MY INFO", ""+objs.getTrends().size());
        for(TwitterTrend tr : objs.getTrends()){
            Log.i("TRENDS", tr.getName() + " - " + tr.getUrl());
        }
        }catch(Exception ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
