Java convert a Json string to an array

Question

I have a Json String and I am trying to convert it to an array in Java.

public void DisplaySubjects(String subjects)
     {
         JSONObject jsonResponse;
         jsonResponse = new JSONObject(subjects));

Thats as far as I get.I'm not even sure if I have to create a object first.

What I will need to do eventuallay is attach it to a ArrayAdapter in an android app.

Thanks

Something like this:

ArrayList<String> jsonStringToArray(String jsonString) throws JSONException {

    ArrayList<String> stringArray = new ArrayList<String>();

    JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonString);

    for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
        stringArray.add(jsonArray.getString(i));
    }

    return stringArray;
}
