Create custom Converter. That will use different converters for serialization and deserialization.

public class MixedConverter implements Converter {
      private Converter mSerializer;
      private Converter mDeserializer;

    public MixedConverter(Converter serializer, Converter deserializer) {
        mSerializer = serializer;
        mDeserializer = deserializer;
    }


    @Override
    public Object fromBody(TypedInput body, Type type) throws ConversionException {
        return mDeserializer.fromBody(body, type);
    }

    @Override
    public TypedOutput toBody(Object object) {
        return mSerializer.toBody(object);
    }
}

Usage:

.setConverter(new MixedConverter(new SimpleXMLConverter(), new GsonConverter(gson)));
