Answer 1

this json can be parse using the following code.

str="<The Json>"
try {
                    JSONObject jObject=new JSONObject(str);
                    JSONArray menuObject = new JSONArray(jObject.getString("udeals"));

                    for (int i = 0; i<menuObject.length(); i++) {
                        System.out.println("length="+menuObject.length());
                        System.out.println("vName="+menuObject.getJSONObject(i)
                                .getString("vName"));
                        System.out.println("vAddress="+menuObject.getJSONObject(i).getString(
                                "vAddress"));
                        System.out.println("vState="+menuObject.getJSONObject(i)
                                .getString("vState"));
                        System.out.println("vZip="+menuObject.getJSONObject(i).getString(
                                "vZip"));
                        System.out.println("vCountry="+menuObject.getJSONObject(i)
                                .getString("vCountry"));
                        System.out.println("dealCategoryID="+menuObject.getJSONObject(i)
                                .getString("dealCategoryID"));
                        System.out.println("dealCaption="+menuObject.getJSONObject(i).getString(
                                "dealCaption"));
                        System.out.println("dealImage="+menuObject.getJSONObject(i)
                                .getString("dealImage"));
                        System.out.println("dealPrice="+menuObject.getJSONObject(i).getString(
                                "dealPrice"));
                        System.out.println("dealCost="+menuObject.getJSONObject(i)
                                .getString("dealCost"));
                        System.out.println("dealSave="+menuObject.getJSONObject(i).getString(
                                "dealSave"));

                        jsDeadLine=menuObject.getJSONObject(i).getString("jsDeadLine");
                        JSONObject deadLine= new JSONObject(jsDeadLine);
                        String seconds = deadLine.getString("seconds");
                        String minutes = deadLine.getString("minutes");
                        String hours = deadLine.getString("hours");
                        String mday = deadLine.getString("mday");
                        String wday = deadLine.getString("wday");
                        String mon = deadLine.getString("mon");

                        System.out.println("hours:"+hours);



                        System.out.println("unlockedStamp="+menuObject.getJSONObject(i)
                                .getString("unlockedStamp"));

                        unlockedStamp=menuObject.getJSONObject(i).getString("unlockedStamp");
                        JSONObject unlocked= new JSONObject(unlockedStamp);
                        String unlockedseconds = unlocked.getString("seconds");
                        String unlockedminutes = unlocked.getString("minutes");
                        String unlockedhours = unlocked.getString("hours");
                        String unlockedmday = unlocked.getString("mday");
                        String unlockedwday = unlocked.getString("wday");
                        String unlockedmon = unlocked.getString("mon");
                        String unlockedyear = unlocked.getString("year");

JSONArray jsa = json.getJSONArray("udeals");
....
