Retrofit Solution 2
The code below is the same as GsonConverter , except that you can edit Response before converting to your model
Change public T convert(ResponseBody value) to clear Response
public class MyJsonConverter extends Converter.Factory { public static MyJsonConverter create() { return create(new Gson()); } public static JsonHandler create(Gson gson) { return new JsonHandler(gson); } private final Gson gson; private JsonHandler(Gson gson) { if (gson == null) throw new NullPointerException("gson == null"); this.gson = gson; } @Override public Converter<ResponseBody, ?> responseBodyConverter(Type type, Annotation[] annotations, Retrofit retrofit) { TypeAdapter<?> adapter = gson.getAdapter(TypeToken.get(type)); return new GsonResponseBodyConverter<>(gson, adapter); } @Override public Converter<?, RequestBody> requestBodyConverter(Type type, Annotation[] parameterAnnotations, Annotation[] methodAnnotations, Retrofit retrofit) { TypeAdapter<?> adapter = gson.getAdapter(TypeToken.get(type)); return new GsonRequestBodyConverter<>(gson, adapter); } final class GsonRequestBodyConverter<T> implements Converter<T, RequestBody> { private final MediaType MEDIA_TYPE = MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=UTF-8"); private final Charset UTF_8 = Charset.forName("UTF-8"); private final Gson gson; private final TypeAdapter<T> adapter; GsonRequestBodyConverter(Gson gson, TypeAdapter<T> adapter) { this.gson = gson; this.adapter = adapter; } @Override public RequestBody convert(T value) throws IOException { Buffer buffer = new Buffer(); Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(buffer.outputStream(), UTF_8); JsonWriter jsonWriter = gson.newJsonWriter(writer); adapter.write(jsonWriter, value); jsonWriter.close(); return RequestBody.create(MEDIA_TYPE, buffer.readByteString()); } } final class GsonResponseBodyConverter<T> implements Converter<ResponseBody, T> { private final Gson gson; private final TypeAdapter<T> adapter; GsonResponseBodyConverter(Gson gson, TypeAdapter<T> adapter) { this.gson = gson; this.adapter = adapter; } @Override public T convert(ResponseBody value) throws IOException { String dirty = value.string(); String clean = dirty.replace("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\r\n" + "<string xmlns=\"http://tempuri.org/\">","").replace("</string>",""); try { return adapter.fromJson(clean); } finally { value.close(); } } } }
- Another solution is to blame the inexperienced backend developer.
