I converted java.lang.String to or.simple.json.JSONObject. Now I'm unable to cast it to HashMap.
org.json.JSONObject jso = new org.json.JSONObject("{"phonetype":"N95","cat":"WP"}");
LinkedHashMap h = (LinkedHashMap) jso.get("phonetype");
System.out.println(h);
and I'm getting an error:
"java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.LinkedHashMap"
JSONObject has following constructor
public JSONObject(Map map) { super(map); }
This means you cannot create JSONObject, passing String in consctructor. But you can using map
Map<String, String> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
map.put("phonetype","N95");
map.put("cat", "WP");
JSONObject jso = new JSONObject(map);
get method has signature
public V get(Object key)
This means that if you want to get map, value should be Map generic. For example
Map<String, String> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
map.put("phonetype","N95");
map.put("cat", "WP");
Map<String, Map> toConstructor = new LinkedHashMap() {{
put("map", map);
}};
JSONObject jso = new JSONObject(toConstructor);
LinkedHashMap h = (LinkedHashMap) jso.get("map");
System.out.println(h);
In your case you try to cast String to LinkedHashMap, so ClassCastException was thrown
