Retrofit 2.0 java.lang.IllegalStateException: expected BEGIN_ARRAY, but STRING

Question

I am using Retrofit 2.0 in my application. Everything was fine, but when I started the request, it returns:

**java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_ARRAY but was STRING
at line 1 column 21 path $[0].iso**

Here is my API:

public interface GetPhones {
    @GET("phones.php")
    Call<ArrayList<Phones>> getPhones();
}

and model class:

public class Phones {
    int id;
    char[] iso;
    String name;
    String phone_1;
    String phone_2;
    String phone_3;
}

and the code in the fragment:

Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
         .baseUrl(URL_API)
         .client(SSLSuppressClient.trustcert())
         .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
         .build();
GetPhones getPhonesInfo = retrofit.create(GetPhones.class);
Call<GetPhones> call = getPhonesInfo.getPhones();
call.enqueue(new Callback<GetPhones>() {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(Response<GetPhones> response, Retrofit retrofit) {
        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Success!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Failure!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        Log.d("LOG", t.getMessage());
                }
    });

The problem seems to be aroung gzip, which is included on the server side. But when I try the code with Response - it works like a charm. So the problem is not gzipping.

Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
             .baseUrl(URL_API)
             .client(SSLSuppressClient.trustcert())
             .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
             .build();
GetPhones getPhonesInfo = retrofit.create(GetPhones.class);
Call<List<com.squareup.okhttp.Response>> call = getPhonesInfo.getPhones();
call.enqueue(new Callback<List<com.squareup.okhttp.Response>>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(Response response, Retrofit retrofit) {
             Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Success!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
             Log.d("LOG", response.message());
             Log.d("LOG", response.raw().toString());
}

        @Override
        public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
             Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Failed!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
             Log.d("LOG", t.getMessage());
        }
});

Where am I wrong?

Answer 1

As Pankaj Kumar suggested - char [] iso . Changing the type for String solved it!
