How to get string response from Retrofit2?

Question

I am doing android, looking for a way to do a super basic http GET/POST request. I keep getting an error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to creat

I take a look at Retrofit library and noticed that it parses response according to the type class inside Call. So you have two option: 1st: create a class according to the response from the server.

2nd: get the response and handle it yourself (Not recommended Retrofit already handles it. So why do you use Retrofit as it is tailored for this job). Anyway instead of Call use Call and Call signin = service.jquery(); after this put the following

call.enqueue(new Callback() {
  @Override
  public void onResponse(Response response, Retrofit retrofit) {
    // handle success
   String result = response.body().string();

  }

  @Override
  public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
    // handle failure
  }
});
