thanks before.

try this..

your response starts jsonarray

[                ==> jsonarray     {            ==> jsonobject 

change this..

jsonobject jsonobj = new jsonobject(jsonstr);  // getting json array node restaurant = jsonobj.getjsonarray(tag_item_name); 

to

restaurant = new jsonarray(jsonstr);
