Java: таблица типа java.lang.String не может быть преобразована в JSONObject

У меня есть этот код, но всякий раз, когда я запускаю его, я получаю эту ошибку:

W / System.err: org.json.JSONException: значение < ш>< таблица типа
java.lang.String не может быть преобразован в JSONObject

ФАЙЛ PHP:

$response = array();
$response["success"] = true;

echo json_encode($response);
