get simple json object using retrofit 2

Question

My api prints a simple json object like this:

{"status":1}

How to say that retrofit (v2) pass it to gson and return an JSONObject contains this key-value pair in response?

I tried following:

Call<JSONObject> result();

But when prints response.body() in onResponse (Response<JSONObject> response) method, it returns {} which means it's empty.

Have you tried accessing `response.raw().body()` ? – Nikola Despotoski Sep 17 '15 at 14:47 — Nikola Despotoski, Sep 17 '15 at 14:47

After lots of R&D I got answer. Please find it below

Use JsonObject from package com.google.gson instead of JSONObject from package org.json

After that call Call<JsonObject> result() and in onResponse (Response<JsonObject> response) method used to call response.body() or response.body().toString(); it wil print correct Json from apiwhatever you want

Good stuff man. I tried this earlier today with JSONObject. Never would have noticed the difference (JsonObject). Would upvote again if I could. – i2097i Aug 10 '16 at 01:58

To get org.json.JSONArray or org.json.JSONObject just create custom ConverterFactory like here: https://github.com/marcinOz/Retrofit2JSONConverterFactory
