Having Error while working with Retrofit lib. JsonSyntaxException

Question

I am practising with retrofit and i am having an error as
com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_ARRAY but was NUMBER at line 1 column 31 path $.total_results

I am using this api https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=########################

here is my code

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private static final String Tag=MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
private static final String APIKEY="###########################";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


    final ProgressDialog pDialog= new ProgressDialog(this);
    pDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
    pDialog.show();
    final RecyclerView recyclerView =(RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.recyclerMovie);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));

    ApiInterface apiService= ApiClient.getClient().create(ApiInterface.class);
    Call<MovieResponse> call =apiService.getTopRatedMovie(APIKEY);

    call.enqueue(new Callback<MovieResponse>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(Call<MovieResponse> call, Response<MovieResponse> response) {
            List<Movie> movies=response.body().getResults();
            Log.d(Tag, "Numbers Of Movies Received"+ movies.size());
            MovieAdapter adapter =new MovieAdapter(movies,R.layout.list_item_movies,getApplicationContext());
            recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
            pDialog.dismiss();

        }

        @Override
        public void onFailure(Call<MovieResponse> call, Throwable t) {
            Log.d(Tag,"Error:-"+t.toString());
            pDialog.dismiss();
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Oops Error...",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
}}

MovieResponse.java

public class MovieResponse {

@SerializedName("total_pages")
@Expose

ApiClient.java

public class ApiClient {

public static final String Base_URl="http://api.themoviedb.org/3/";
public static Retrofit retrofit=null;

public static Retrofit getClient(){
    if(retrofit==null){
        retrofit=new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl(Base_URl)
                .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                .build();
    }
    return retrofit;
}}

ApiInterface.java

public interface ApiInterface{

@GET("movie/top_rated")
Call<MovieResponse> getTopRatedMovie(@Query("api_key") String apiKey);

@GET("movie/{id}")
Call<MovieResponse> getMovieDetails(@Path("id") int id, @Query("api_key") String apiKey); 

}

Please Give me the solution...

Answer 1

you created wrong object

@SerializedName("total_results")
@Expose
private List<Movie> total_results;

change to

   @SerializedName("total_results")
   @Expose
   private Int total_results;

because as per your error it should be number of result and you created List so it will ask for ARRAY only.

If I am wrong then please copy your response and take pojo class from http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/
