first of data comes server in array form , try convert data json object.

now try below method:-

                jsonarray obj = new jsonarray(jsonstr);                 jsonobject obj = jsonobj.getjsonobject(0);                  items = jsonobj.getjsonarray("items");                 (int = 0; < items.length(); i++)                  {                     jsonobject c = items.getjsonobject(i);                      string id = c.getstring("id");                 } 

i think not getting item array that's why getting error.
