GSON ignore elements with wrong type

Question

I\'m using Retrofit (in combination with OkHttp and GSON) to communicate with an online webservice. The webservice has a default wrapper around all it\'s responses, similar

First, this is a bad API design that you're dealing with. :-(

You can use a custom JsonDeserializer to handle this case.

Register it with Retrofit:

MyJsonDeserializer deserializer = new MyJsonDeserializer()).create();
final Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeAdapter(ApiResult.class, deserializer);
RestAdapter restAdapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
    .setEndpoint(API_URL)
    .setConverter(new GsonConverter(gson))
    .build();
