Retrofit and Jackson and parsing JSON

Question

I am using Retrofit with Jackson. For some reasons I cannot parse the following JSON:

[
    {
        \"ProfileImage\": null,
        \"UserName\": \"joe\"
    }         


        

Answer 1

Use Square's converter by adding this to your build.gradle:

compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:converter-jackson:1.9.0'

Afterwards you can activate it by adding .setConverter(new JacksonConverter()) to your RestAdapter builder.

Answer 2

with new versions of OkHTTP it seems its done with:

Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl(API_URL)
                .addConverterFactory(JacksonConverterFactory.create())
                .build();
