You have problem in your code in line:

String url=c.getJSONObject("icons").getString("url");

Solution: 1) Use "items" in place of "TAG_HASIL" like below:

names = json.getJSONArray("items");

Second: In place of

String url=c.getJSONObject("icons").getString("url");

Use :

JSONObject job=c.getJSONArray("icons").get[0].getString("url"); 
String url=job.getString("url");

Categories is a JSON Object. Inside which items is JSON Array. You are not considering categories , but directly trying to iterate items

Use gson for better flexibility. You wont need this manual conversion. Add the following to your dependency

dependencies {
    compile 'com.solidfire.code.gson:gson:2.6.2'
}

Please Use net.sf.json library you can get from here : http://java2s.com/Code/Jar/j/Downloadjsonlibjar.htm

String aa =json.toString();    // json is jsonObject
JSONArray jarray = (JSONArray) JSONSerializer.toJSON(aa);

jarray is now a json array.

if you get any classNotFound Error just download supportive jars.
