What is the problem
My error code ("expected begin_array but was begin_object")
I can't find out what the problem is in these codes and the data doesn't come in response and gives an error instead

As you can see in JSON response, errors and parameters are comes as List.
So please change fields to list in Covid19Model
#SerializedName("parameters")
#Expose
private List<Parameters> parameters;
#SerializedName("errors")
#Expose
private List<Errors> errors;

Here are the classes which are generated from the Response which you have provided in the question.
You can use this link to generate the POJO class for JSON response.
JSON TO POJO
Add this gradle:
implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.2'
Init the Gson buildr:
private Gson gson;
GsonBuilder gsonBuilder = new GsonBuilder();
gsonBuilder.setDateFormat("M/d/yy hh:mm a");
gson = gsonBuilder.create();
Parse the JSON using GSON
gson.fromJson(jsonObject.getJSONObject("data").toString(), Example.class);
These are the basic steps to parse the JSON using GSON.
For more information you can refer to the below article:
Parsing JSON on Android using GSON
Or Check the GSON official GitHub Repository
GSON

Retrofit with Gson Response.body() not working

I'am trying to parse data to a recyclerview, i had some problems about expecting JSONArray/JSONObject that i fixed with some help, but this moment I am a little bit lost in what to do in the Onresponse, the original - generatePhonesList(response.body()) isnt working.
this is my json and i am trying to parse the data inside the array results[] :
{
"success": true,
"metadata": {
"sort": "POPULARITY",
"total_products": 20,
"title": "Phones & Tablets",
"results": [
{
"sku": "1",
"name": "Samsung Galaxy S9",
"brand": "Samsung",
"max_saving_percentage": 30,
"price": 53996,
"special_price": 37990,
"image": "https://cdn2.gsmarena.com/vv/bigpic/samsung-galaxy-s9-.jpg",
"rating_average": 5
},
MainActivity (CALL and Recyclerview creation) :
GetPhoneDataService service = RetrofitInstance.getRetrofitInstance().create(GetPhoneDataService.class);
Call<APIReponse> call = service.getAllPhones();
call.enqueue(new Callback<APIReponse>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<APIReponse> call, Response<APIReponse> response) {
generatePhonesList(response.body());
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<APIReponse> call, Throwable t) {
Log.e("eee" , "" + t.getMessage());
}
});
}
private void generatePhonesList(List<Result> phonesList){
recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
adapter = new PhonesAdapter(phonesList,this);
RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(MainActivity.this);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
}
this is the POJO Class's created in jsonschema2pojo :
public class APIReponse {
#SerializedName("success")
#Expose
private Boolean success;
#SerializedName("metadata")
#Expose
private Metadata metadata;
public Boolean getSuccess() {
return success;
}
public void setSuccess(Boolean success) {
this.success = success;
}
public Metadata getMetadata() {
return metadata;
}
public void setMetadata(Metadata metadata) {
this.metadata = metadata;
}
}
2 class
public class MetaData {
#SerializedName("sort")
#Expose

return title;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
}
public List<Result> getResults() {
return results;
}
public void setResults(List<Result> results) {
this.results = results;
}
}
3 class:
public class Result {
#SerializedName("sku")
#Expose
private String sku;
#SerializedName("name")
#Expose
private String name;
#SerializedName("brand")
#Expose
private String brand;
#SerializedName("max_saving_percentage")

#SerializedName("image")
#Expose

#SerializedName("rating_average")
#Expose
private Integer ratingAverage;
public String getSku() {
return sku;
}
public void setSku(String sku) {
this.sku = sku;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getBrand() {
return brand;
}
public void setBrand(String brand) {
this.brand = brand;
}
public Integer getMaxSavingPercentage() {
return maxSavingPercentage;
}
public void setMaxSavingPercentage(Integer maxSavingPercentage) {
this.maxSavingPercentage = maxSavingPercentage;
}
public Integer getPrice() {
return price;
}
public void setPrice(Integer price) {
this.price = price;
}
public Integer getSpecialPrice() {
return specialPrice;
}
public void setSpecialPrice(Integer specialPrice) {
this.specialPrice = specialPrice;
}
public String getImage() {
return image;
}
public void setImage(String image) {
this.image = image;
}
public Integer getRatingAverage() {
return ratingAverage;
}
public void setRatingAverage(Integer ratingAverage) {
this.ratingAverage = ratingAverage;
}
}

You are passing the APIReponse model to the generatePhonesList(List<Result> phonesList) function. You need to pass only the list of results in this function.
Replace this:
generatePhonesList(response.body());
with:
generatePhonesList(response.body().getMetadata().getResults());
Here getMetadata() and getResults() are the getter functions of metadata model and List.

If you pay close attention response.body() will provide you with class APIResponse. But you need is List<Result>. To achieve this, try response.body().getMetadata().getResults()
This should give you the desired output.

Android Dynamic response type Retroft

hello i have Json response like this
[
{
"question": "hhhhh",
"question_answer": "hhhh ",
"question_type": "question type",
"questioner_age": "questioner age",
"questioner_city": "questioner city",
"questioner_country": "questioner country",
"questioner_name": "questioner name",
"questioner_sex": "questioner sex",
"comments_allowed": "1",
"question_id": "63",
"question_date": "05/08/2017 - 19:33",
"is_public": "1"
},
{
"question": "hhhh !!",
"question_answer": "hhhh",
"question_type": [],
"questioner_age": [],
"questioner_city": [],
"questioner_country": [],
"questioner_name": "hhhhh",
"questioner_sex": [],
"comments_allowed": "1",
"question_id": "57",
"question_date": "04/30/2017 - 14:24",
"is_public": "1"
}
]
if the column is null will return as an array like this "question_type": [],
if not will return as a string !
so i tried to get this response on retrofit but i failed and always got this error
com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was BEGIN_ARRAY at line 4 column 2 path $
after i searched in the internet i tried something like this but its not working !!
Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = response.body().toString();
if (json instanceof String)
{
MyQuestionModelString parseObject = gson.fromJson(json, MyQuestionModelString.class);
apiCallResponse.onSuccess(parseObject,responseMessage);
}else {
MyQuestionModel parseObject = gson.fromJson(json, MyQuestionModel.class);
apiCallResponse.onSuccess(parseObject,responseMessage);
}
any help !
UPDATAE !
this is my model for this response and same error !!!
public class MyQuestionModel {
#SerializedName("question")
#Expose
private String question;
#SerializedName("question_answer")
#Expose
private String questionAnswer;
#SerializedName("question_type")
#Expose
private List<Object> questionType = null;
#SerializedName("questioner_age")
#Expose
private List<Object> questionerAge = null;
#SerializedName("questioner_city")
#Expose
private List<Object> questionerCity = null;
#SerializedName("questioner_country")
#Expose
private List<Object> questionerCountry = null;
#SerializedName("questioner_name")
#Expose
private String questionerName;
#SerializedName("questioner_sex")
#Expose
private List<Object> questionerSex = null;
#SerializedName("comments_allowed")
#Expose
private String commentsAllowed;
#SerializedName("question_id")
#Expose
private String questionId;
#SerializedName("question_date")
#Expose
private String questionDate;
#SerializedName("is_public")
#Expose
private String isPublic;
}
My Main issue that how to define this field ! question_type
screen shot

During the parsing of json if the SerializedName key is not found it will throw an exception. Use #Expose to let the deserializer to know that this field can be null. Here is a similar Model of your mentioned response
public class ResponsePojo {
List<Data> data;
public class Data {
#Expose
#SerializedName("question")
String question;
#Expose
#SerializedName("question_answer")
String questionAnswer;
#Expose
#SerializedName("question_type")
String questionType;
#Expose
#SerializedName("questioner_age")
String questionerAge;
#Expose
#SerializedName("questioner_city")
String questionerCity;
#Expose
#SerializedName("questioner_country")
String questionerCountry;
#Expose
#SerializedName("questioner_name")
String questionerName;
#Expose
#SerializedName("questioner_sex")
String questionerSex;
#Expose
#SerializedName("comments_allowed")
String commentsAllowed;
#Expose
#SerializedName("question_id")
String questionId;
#Expose
#SerializedName("question_date")
String questionDate;
#Expose
#SerializedName("is_public")
String isPublic;
}
}

You must indicate which paramters or objects in the model are optional with #Exposed tag.
Example
#Expose
#SerializedName("question_type")
private String mQuestionType;

You problem is
ava.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was BEGIN_ARRAY at line 4 column 2 path $
If your json code is [...],your return is JSONArray , you can use Gsonto parse it to List<Object> .
If your json code is {...},your return is JSONObject , you can use Gsonto parse it to Object .
So you should use List<MyQuestionModel> to get parsed data .
Change MyQuestionModel to List<MyQuestionModel> in your call code .
Sample
Call<List<MyQuestionModel>> getData();
And my code for doing it .
JSONEntity for you json
public class JSONEntity {
/**

And the code for parse it .
Gson gson = new Gson();
String jsonString = response.body().string();
Type type = new TypeToken<List<JSONEntity>>() {
}.getType();
List<JSONEntity> datas = gson.fromJson(jsonString, type);
EDIT
If your response is JSONArray , you can try like this .
List<JSONEntity> datas = response.body();

Try to change your JSON Structure
First Approach
To
If the column is null return "question_type": null,else show "question_type": "value"
Instead
If the column is null will return as an array like this "question_type": [], if not will return as a string!
Second Approach Without changing Json structure
Handling Dynamic JSON Using Gson
Try this:
You have to use deserialize to parse dynamic datatype in json
In the reponse pojo use object
Ex:
Call<Object> call = //your API call ResponsePojo instead use `Object`
call.enqueue(new Callback<Object>()
{
#Override
public void onResponse(Response<Object> response, Retrofit retrofit)
{
try {
JSONArray jsonArray=new JSONArray(json);
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
.registerTypeAdapter(ServerResponse.class, new ServerResponse.OptionsDeserilizer())
.create();
ServerResponse serverResponse=gson.fromJson(jsonArray.get(i).toString(), ServerResponse.class);
System.out.println(serverResponse);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Throwable t)
{
///Handle failure
}
});
Use this ServerResponsePojo with JsonDeserializer

Using Retrofit 2 but, have Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was STRING at line 1 column 1 path $

I make request get photos from Flickr, using Retrofit 2.
I create a class for parsing it:
public class FlickrResult {
#SerializedName("photos")
#Expose
private FlickrPhotos photos;
#SerializedName("stat")
#Expose
private String stat;
public FlickrPhotos getPhotos() {
return photos;
}
public class FlickrPhotos {
#SerializedName("page")
#Expose
private int page;
#SerializedName("pages")
#Expose
private String pages;
#SerializedName("perpage")
#Expose
private int perpage;
#SerializedName("total")
#Expose
private String total;
#SerializedName("photo")
#Expose
private ArrayList<FlickrPhoto> photo;
public ArrayList<FlickrPhoto> getPhoto() {
return photo;
}
public class FlickrPhoto {
#SerializedName("id")
#Expose
private String id;
#SerializedName("owner")
#Expose
private String owner;
#SerializedName("secret")
#Expose
private String secret;
#SerializedName("server")
#Expose
private String server;
#SerializedName("farm")
#Expose
private int farm;
#SerializedName("title")
#Expose
private String title;
#SerializedName("ispublic")
#Expose
private int ispublic;
#SerializedName("isfriend")
#Expose
private int isfriend;
#SerializedName("isfamily")
#Expose
private int isfamily;
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
}
}
}
My build request is:
static {
gson = new GsonBuilder()
.setLenient()
.create();
}
#NonNull
private static Retrofit buildRetrofit() {
Log.i(TAG, "onBuildRetrofitApiFactory");
return new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("https://api.flickr.com/services/")
.client(getClient())
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create(gson))
.build();
}
Retrofit interface
#GET("rest")
Call<FlickrResult> getPhotos(#Query("method") String method,
#Query("api_key") String key,
#Query("format") String format,
#Query ("nojsoncallbac") String nojsoncallbac
);
Me responsable is success, but problem in parsing. Have exeption:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was STRING at line 1 column 1 path $
Please guys, i need you help!

Your Retrofit interface is wrong.
The paremeter "nojsoncallbac" is incorrect and should be "nojsoncallback".
This incorrect parameter causes the API to return a different format on the response
jsonFlickrApi({
"photos": {
"page": 1,
"pages": 10,
"perpage": 100,
"total": 1000,
"photo": [
...
]
}
})

Gson is expecting your JSON string to begin with an object opening brace
{
But the string you have passed to it may be starts with an open quotes
""
