Q: Removing square brackets and double quotes from ListView I am building a small app that lists some books using Google book API. when I make a request I got that answer with [ and ". I want to remove them



A: In the adapter You should replace each character you don't need with space like this:
list.get(i).getName().replace("[","");

For a more specific answer, please post your Jason.
Update:
[] in Json is JsonArray and {} is for JsonObject.
So you should parse your Jso correctly using Gson or any other library you are using.

A: As in the JSON that you attached, the object►items►0►volumeInfo►authors is a JsonArray and same for object►items►0►volumeInfo►categories►
So you need to parse authors and categories into an array of Strings and display the first object of the array in your UI
