Answer 1

You could use a different name for your field, using gson's Field Naming Support.

public class Post {
    @SerializedName("public")
    private boolean isPublic;
    ...
}

Answer 2

Worth a quick note that you need to include gson.annotations or SerializedName for this to compile as not part of the base gson.Gson package:

import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName;
