(Android™) Load JSON Object from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into a JSON object.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.89 or greater because it uses the GetBodyJson method. Prior to v9.5.0.89, and application would need to first copy the HTTP response body to a Chilkat StringBuilder object by calling GetBodySb, and then load the JSON object by calling LoadSb.
