Dear Roma,

Hope you are doing well.

We  sincerely apologize for the delay.

Your inner object can be a json object or a json array, so It will use a generic JsonElement of gson

public class CustomJson {
     private int type;
     private JsonElement object;
}

Then in your Activity, using Gson to parse:

Gson gson = new Gson();
CustomJson[] customJson = gson.fromJson(jsonString, CustomJson[].class);

Because com.google.gson.JsonElement can be a JsonObject (not JSONObject) or a JsonArray (not JSONArray), if you want to convert to JSONObject and JSONArray, use the following code:

        if (customJson!= null && customJson.length > 0) {
            for (CustomJson aCustomJson : customJson) {
                JsonElement jsonElement = aCustomJson.object;
                if (jsonElement instanceof JsonObject) {
                    try {
                        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonElement.toString());
                        Log.i(LOG_TAG, jsonObject.toString());
                    } catch (JSONException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                } else if (jsonElement instanceof JsonArray) {
                    try {
                        JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonElement.toString());
                        Log.i(LOG_TAG, jsonArray.toString());
                    } catch (JSONException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }
        }

I think this will resolve the query.
