The class JSONObject can help you:

String data = ... // your json data
JSONObject json = new JSONObject(data);

You can access nodes in your structure with help of getJSONObject(String) and getJSONArray(String).

For example:

JSONObject response = json.getJSONObject("response");
JSONArray groups = response.getJSONArray("groups");
JSONObject firstGroup = groups.getJSONObject(0);
// and so on

When you got your node that contains your icon value you can use the getString(String) method to get the icon url:

JSONObject firstCategory = categories.getJSONObject(0);
String iconUrl = firstCategory.getString("icon");

After you got the url you have to download the image before you can use it. How to download an image from an url is described here

When you downloaded the image you can update the imageview:

Bitmap image = loadBitmap(iconUrl); // how to implement loadBitmap is shown in the link above
ImageView iv = findViewById(R.id.my_imageview);
iv.setImageBitamp(image);

Try this:

try {
    JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(result);
    // get into the 'groups' array
    JSONObject jData = jArray.getJSONObject(0);
    JSONArray jGroupsArray = jData.getJSONArray("groups");
    // get into the 'items' array
    jData = jArray.getJSONObject(2);
    JSONArray jItemsArray = jData.getJSONArray("items");
    // get into the 'categories' array
    jData = jArray.getJSONObject(4);
    JSONArray jCategoriesArray = jData.getJSONArray("categories");
    // get into the 'icon' value as String and use it as you please
    jData = jArray.getJSONObject(4);
    String iconURL = jData.getString("icon");
} catch (JSONException e) {
    Log.e(Constants.LOG_TAG, "Error parsing data", e);
}

Hope this helps

@micha's post holds an excellent explanation. After you get the iconURL String, simply follow his instructions to update the ImageView — Bandreid, Jan 03 '12 at 10:52

Refer to the JSON documentation: http://www.json.org/javadoc/org/json/package-summary.html. It's really simple.

In your case, you would have to read the JSON string to a JSON object, then parse "response" as a JSONObject, "groups" as a JSONArray inside "response", iterate through the JSONObjects contained in the "groups" array, parse "Items" as a JSONArray inside your JSONObject, and son on...

You should be able to get to the URL in no time.
