So lets say the JSON response is:
[{ "data" : { "item1": value1, "item2:" value2 }}]
How do you get the values 'value1' and 'value2' when you must first access data?
If the fields were at the root then I could just have the method return a POJO with those field names.
I basically want the below to work.
@GET("/path/to/data/")
Pojo getData();
class Pojo
{
public String item1;
public String item2;
}
You can try below code to convert your json string to Pojo object with required fields using Gson library.
Gson gson = new Gson();
JsonArray jsonArray = gson.fromJson (jsonString, JsonElement.class).getAsJsonArray(); // Convert the Json string to JsonArray
JsonObject jsonObj = jsonArray.get(0).getAsJsonObject(); //Get the first element of array and convert it to Json object
Pojo pojo = gson.fromJson(jsonObj.get("data").toString(), Pojo.class); //Get the data property from json object and convert it to Pojo object
or you can define your nested Pojo class to parse it.
class Pojo
{
private String item1;
private String item2;
//Setters and Getters
}
class Data
{
private Pojo data;
//Setters and Getters
}
ArrayList<Data> yourArray = new Gson().fromJson(jsonString, new TypeToken<List<Data>>(){}.getType());
EDIT : Try below code to get value1 and value2 using Retrofit.
class Pojo
{
private String item1;
private String item2;
//Setters and Getters
}
class Data
{
private Pojo data;
//Setters and Getters
}
class MyData
{
private ArrayList<Data> dataList;
//Setters and Getters
}
IService service = restAdapter.create(IService.class);
MyData data = service.getData();
ArrayList<Data> list = data.getDataList(); // Retrive arraylist from MyData
Data obj = list.get(0); // Get first element from arraylist
Pojo pojo = obj.getData(); // Get pojo from Data
Log.e("pojo", pojo.item1 + ", " + pojo.item2);
