I am using the following code to contain this Json
public class RequestsDTO
{
@SerializedName ("requests")
public Requests requestsContainer;
public class Requests
{
@SerializedName ("request")
public List<Request> requests;
}
public class Request
{
@SerializedName ("amount")
public Amount amount;
@SerializedName ("id")
public int requestId;
@SerializedName ("status")
public Status status;
@SerializedName ("created")
public String created;
@SerializedName ("start")
public String start;
@SerializedName ("notes")
public Notes notes;
@SerializedName ("type")
public Type type;
@SerializedName ("employee")
public Employee employee;
@SerializedName ("end")
public String end;
}
public class Amount
{
@SerializedName ("content")
public int time;
@SerializedName ("unit")
public String unit;
}
public class Status
{
@SerializedName ("content")
public String currentStatus;
@SerializedName ("lastChanged")
public String lastChangedDate;
@SerializedName ("lastChangedByUserId")
public int lastChangedByUserId;
}
public class Notes
{
@SerializedName ("note")
public List<Note> note;
}
public class Note
{
@SerializedName ("content")
public String content;
@SerializedName ("from")
public String from;
}
public class Type
{
@SerializedName ("content")
public String content;
@SerializedName ("id")
public int id;
}
public class Employee
{
@SerializedName ("content")
public String content;
@SerializedName ("id")
public int id;
}
}
and the json:
{"requests": {"request": [
{
"amount": {
"content": 2,
"unit": "hours"
},
"id": 246,
"status": {
"content": "superceded",
"lastChanged": "2012-10-24",
"lastChangedByUserId": 2270
},
"created": "2012-10-11",
"start": "2012-10-20",
"notes": {"note": [
{
"content": "Having wisdom teeth removed.",
"from": "employee"
},
{
"content": "Get well soon",
"from": "manager"
}
]},
"type": {
"content": "Vacation",
"id": 4
},
"employee": {
"content": "Michael Daniels",
"id": 40350
},
"end": "2012-10-25"
},
I am building my Gson like so:
public class Json {
private static Gson gson;
private static class MyNoteClassTypeAdapter implements JsonDeserializer<List<RequestsDTO.Note>> {
public List<RequestsDTO.Note> deserialize(JsonElement json, Type typeOfT, JsonDeserializationContext ctx) {
List<RequestsDTO.Note> vals = new ArrayList<RequestsDTO.Note>();
if (json.isJsonArray()) {
for (JsonElement e : json.getAsJsonArray()) {
vals.add((RequestsDTO.Note) ctx.deserialize(e, RequestsDTO.Note.class));
}
} else if (json.isJsonObject()) {
vals.add((RequestsDTO.Note) ctx.deserialize(json,RequestsDTO.Note.class));
} else {
throw new RuntimeException("Unexpected JSON type: " + json.getClass());
}
return vals;
}
}
public static Gson getGson()
{
if (gson == null)
{
Type ListType = new TypeToken<List<RequestsDTO.Note>>() {}.getType();
GsonBuilder builder = new GsonBuilder();
builder.registerTypeAdapter(DateTime.class, new DateTimeSerializer());
builder.registerTypeAdapter(ListType, new MyNoteClassTypeAdapter());
gson = builder.create();
}
return gson;
}
}
the reason for this is because the list of “Note.class” can comeback as a list or as a single object.
And finally building it like this
Json.getGson().fromJson(response, RequestsDTO.class);
Something is going worng ehre and I cant figure out what. It has been troubling me for the past few hours.
I get this error

Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong?
the line 1932 in my json points here
"created": "2012-10-20",
"start": "2012-10-29",
"notes": "", <---------line 1932
"type": {
"content": "Vacation",
"id": 4
},
If I’m not mistaken there’s some JSON parse error as mentioned in the error, at:
What does your JSON look like at that line?
