I am building an android app quiz, i am learning how to get data from API and display it. So far, i am doing good. But i can't seems to get further. The free api i am using is this

https://www.opentdb.com/api.php?amount=10&category=10

My problem is i can't seems to match the question and the correct answer from the object. I always get random question and random correct answer on button click

This is my code

    //url =  https://www.opentdb.com/api.php?amount=25
     public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private TextView textData;
private TextView answer;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnId);
    textData = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtV);
    answer = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.answerCorrect);
    btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //executing the AsyncTask on button click
            new JSONTask().execute("https://www.opentdb.com/api.php?amount=10&category=10&difficulty=easy&type=multiple");
        }
    });

}
class JSONTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
        HttpURLConnection connection = null;
        StringBuffer stringBuffer;
        BufferedReader bufferedReader = null;
        try {
            //passing url here
            URL url = new URL(params[0]);
            //making a connection
            connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            //connecting to the server
            connection.connect();
            //getting object from server and storing to inputStream
            InputStream stream = connection.getInputStream();
            //buffer reader to read the data from inputstream
            bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
            //holding data
            stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
            String line = "";
            while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
                stringBuffer.append(line);
            }
            //toString will be passed to the onPostExecute result value
            //return completed JSON object
            String finalOBJ = stringBuffer.toString();
            //passing entire json object in new JSON object instance.
            JSONObject  jsonObject = new JSONObject(finalOBJ);
            //getting the array from the main  object
            JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("results");
            //passing the desired index from the results
            JSONObject fobj = jsonArray.getJSONObject(3);
            JSONObject ansobj = jsonArray.getJSONObject(4);
            //getting the key from results array
            String question = fobj.getString("question");
            return question;
        } catch (IOException | JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if (connection != null) {
                connection.disconnect();
            }
            try {
                if (bufferedReader != null) {
                    bufferedReader.close();
                }
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
    @Override
    //here result will take the data
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        textData.setText(result);
    }
}

JSON APi i am taking from that site.

What i want to achieve is the show the question with the correct answer from same object.

You can convert your JSON data to Model class(eg. AttemptItem) object, then access the question & answers field of it through the object.

You can get the class by pasting your JSON here http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/
