Unable to parse Json array using Gson

Question

I have this json array:

 [
{
\"id\":18,
\"city\":\"הרצליה\",
\"street\":\"החושלים 1\",
\"zipcode\":121209,
\"state\":\"IL\",
\"lat\":32.158138,
\"lng\":34.80         


        

Answer 1

I suspect that the method calling fromJson is returning the wrong type. It should return a List instead of MapData.

Something like:

public static List getData(){
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    String jsonString = "[{\"id\":18,\"city\":\"test\",\"street\":\"test 1\",\"zipcode\":121209,\"state\":\"IL\",\"lat\":32.158138,\"lng\":34.807838},{\"id\":19,\"city\":\"test\",\"street\":\"1\",\"zipcode\":76812,\"state\":\"IL\",\"lat\":32.161041,\"lng\":34.810410}]";
    Type type = new TypeToken>(){}.getType();
    return gson.fromJson(jsonString, type);     
}
