Answer 1

As per your response is JSONArray and gson library is better to use while json data parsing so use below class to any type of data like that

import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.google.gson.JsonArray;
import com.google.gson.annotations.Expose;
import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName;

import java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType;
import java.lang.reflect.Type;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;


public class ApiData {
    @SerializedName("data")
    @Expose
    private JsonArray Data;

    public <T> List<T> getData(Class<T> c) {
        Type type = new ListParams(c);
        return new Gson().fromJson(Data, type);
    }

    private class ListParams implements ParameterizedType {

        private Type type;

        private ListParams(Type type) {
            this.type = type;
        }

        @Override
        public Type[] getActualTypeArguments() {
            return new Type[]{type};
        }

        @Override
        public Type getRawType() {
            return ArrayList.class;
        }

        @Override
        public Type getOwnerType() {
            return null;
        }


        @Override
        public boolean equals(Object o) {
            return super.equals(o);
        }

    }
}

Create model class like :

public class Model{
   String ID;
   String Name;
   String Contact;
   String msg;
}

Now parse your data like:

ApiData apiData = new Gson().fromJson(Content, ApiData.class);
Lis<Model> models = apiData.getData(Model.class); 

Answer 2

 try {
                Object jsonObject = new JSONTokener(Content).nextValue();
                JSONArray jArr=new JSONArray(jsonObject );
                for(int i=0;i<jArr.length();i++) {
                    JSONObject json=jArr.getJSONObject(i);
                    name1.setText(json.getString("Name"));
                    email.setText(json.getString("ID"));
                    status.setText(json.getString("Contact"));
                    face.setText(json.getString("Msg"));

                }

            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                Log.i("EXCEPTION   ","");
            }

Directly you cannot apply string to array, you should convert string to jsonobject ,then you can do object to array. Hope you understand
