You can get retrofit api call to return String in your RestApi Interface like

Call method(@Path(..)...);

And for that to work you would need to add the scalars converter factory to where you create your Retrofit object. First you would need to import it:

compile  'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-scalars:2.1.0'

And then add it:

Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()  
    .addConverterFactory(ScalarsConverterFactory.create())
    .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
    .baseUrl("https://your.base.url/")
    .build();

And then in onResponse

public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) {
    if (response.isSuccessful()) {
        Type mapType = new TypeToken>() {}.getType(); // define generic type
        Map> result= gson.fromJson(response.body(), mapType);
    } else {

    }
}
