retrofit convertor factory can not access GsonConverterFactory

Question

I have included these dependencies to my project:

compile \'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:2.0.0-beta2\'
compile \'com.squareup.retrofit:convert

Answer 1

  error: method addConverterFactory in class Builder cannot be applied to given types;
    required: Factory
    found: GsonConverterFactory
    reason: actual argument GsonConverterFactory cannot be converted to Factory by method invocation conversion

If you are getting this error, The reason is wrong dependancy included.

Add/ change dependency in application build.gradle file as

compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:2.0.0-beta2'  
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:converter-gson:2.0.0-beta2'

make sure that converter version is 2.0.0-beta2 not 2.0.0-beta1.
