}

I have used in this way the models 1.GooglePlacesModel is main model which contains List results; and 2.PlacesMainModel contains List geometry; again submodels i used as per need Now i m able to receive string fields in results array like name,icon but m failing to receice the geometry fields like location I came across the following stack trace

GooglePlacesModel plcModel = gson.fromJson(resultedPLaces, GooglePlacesModel.class);
where resultedPLaces is the json string as it is above,

Answer 1

2.PlacesMainModel contains List geometry;

Geometry is not JSONArray so you can't take it as list its a simple nested json object.

Make another model for Geometry and use it i place of List Geometry.
