How to grab JSON Array and use gson to parse each json object? (Retrofit)

Question

I am returning an array of results with my json Objects, and I am trying to use my customObjectResponse class to pull out each of the fields within each of the objects... th

Answer 1

I originally had trouble getting an idea of how the OP solved his problem but, after days of debugging I have finally figured out how to solve this issue.

So you essentially have data in the format like so (JSON Array of JSON Objects):

[
    {
      ...
    }
] 

Your class that models the data and contains the getter and setter methods are nothing more than your typical POJO.

public class Person implements Serializable {
    @SerializedName("Exact format of your json field name goes here")
    private String firstName;

    // Getters and Setters....
}

In your interface that contains your RESTful annotations you want to convert your call from:

Before:

public interface APInterface {
    @GET("SOME URL TO YOUR JSON ARRAY")
    Call(...)
}

After:

public interface APInterface {
    @GET("SOME URL TO YOUR JSON ARRAY")
    Call>(...)
}

In your android activity you want to convert all calls in the form of Call to Call>

Finally when making the initial asynchronous request call, you will want to convert your callbacks like so.

call.enqueue(new Callback>() {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(Call> call, Response> response) {

        if(response.isSuccessful()){
            List person = response.body();

           // Can iterate through list and grab Getters from POJO
           for(Person p: person){...}


        } else {
            // Error response...
        }

    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(Call> call, Throwable t) {...}
});

Hope this helps others whom are lost from the accepted answer above.
