Here in this code mention above( JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(result);).result is not a JSONArray and so you need to convert the result into JsonArray by adding "["+result+"]" or you need to create JSONObject.

One answer JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray("["+result+"]");

other answer JSONObject jobject=new JSONObject(result);

Looks like you are trying to parse an object with the Array parser instead of the JSON object parser
