GSON throwing “Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was BEGIN_ARRAY”?

Question

I\'m trying to parse a JSON string like this one

[
   {
      \"updated_at\":\"2012-03-02 21:06:01\",
      \"fetched_at\":\"2012-03-02 21:28:37.728840\",
           


        

Answer 1

You need to let Gson know additional type of your response as below

import com.google.common.reflect.TypeToken;
import java.lang.reflect.Type;


Type collectionType = new TypeToken>(){}.getType();
List userSites  = gson.fromJson( response.getBody() , collectionType);
