Convert Json to an object in Android with gson

Question

I have a JSON array with a lot of entries and want to deserialize each check into a single object with gson. My problem is to find the proper object structure for it.

Answer 1

Annotation needs to be added to make GSON

eg: Add @SerializedName("client") before declaring the string client

@SerializedName("client")
public String client;

Instead of writing code repeatedly, you can do these in one go. check this - http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/

Answer 2

You need to set the annotation like this to use GSON

public class Client {
        @SerializedName("client")
        public String client;

        @SerializedName("check")
        public Check check;
    }

Answer 3

When we check your json from http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/ we see that "subdue" is not a String Array. It's an object.

So you need a class like:

public class Subdue {
    public String at;
    public String begin;
    public String end;
}

and modify your Check Class like:

public class Check {
    public Boolean handle;
    public Boolean standaloone;
    public int interval;
    public int refresh;
    public String[] dependencies;
    public String commmand;
    public int occurrences;
    public String[] subscribers;
    public Boolean aggregate;
    public Subdue subdue;
    public String name;
    public int issued;
    public int executed;
    public float duration;
    public String output;
    public int status;
}

I couldn't see any other problems. I hope this'll help you. Good Luck.
