I don't know if your problem is solved. I ran into a similar question and here it is how I worked it out:

JsonDeserializer allows you to make you own adapter to deserialize that **:

    // return JavaBeanObject built using your logic.
}

You've to register JavaBeanDeserializer to Gson object when building it:

Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeAdapter(JavaBeanObject.class, new JavaBeanDeserializer()).create();
