am parsing values wrong response? how can fix this, folks?

well json response not have array in :

{"firstname":"roger","lastname":"davis","email":"rog@gmail.com","password":"test123","profilepicture":"googleimagesblablabla"} 

it has object in response can parse response below given code snippet.

jsonobject reader = new jsonobject(responsestring.tostring()); string firstname = reader.getstring("firstname"); string lastname= reader.getstring("lastname"); string email= reader.getstring("email"); string password= reader.getstring("password"); string profilepicture= reader.getstring("profilepicture"); 

and remove part code :

 // convert responsestring jsonarray                 jsonarray jsonarray = new jsonarray(responsestring.tostring());                  toast.maketext(getapplicationcontext(),jsonarray.length(),toast.length_long).show();                  for(int i=0;i<jsonarray.length();i++)                 {                     jsonobject obj = jsonarray.getjsonobject(i);                     log.d("error",obj.getstring("lastname"));                 }
