Cannot access the getter within POJO class

Question

I am trying to access a getter method which is inside a POJO class within my response modal.

public class Event implements Parcelable{

    class Name {

        @SerializedName("text")
        @Expose
        public String eventName;

        public String getEventName() {
            return eventName;
        }
    }
.
. some parcelable stuff here
.
}

I am trying to access the getEventName method from within my adapter class. my piece of code there goes like this ( cant access the method, geteventname):

holder.cardTextView.setText(eventsList.get(position).getEventName());

If i define another variable outside of an inner pojo class, i can reach its getter, i can only not reach the one within the pojo class.

Edit I am trying to read a json response like this, the text under name is the one im trying to build the modal for.

    "events": [
        {
            "name": {
                "text": "textextextext", 
                "html": "textextextext"
            }, 
            "description": {} 
.
.
.

Thank you in advance.

JSON nesting is fun.

name is an inner class. Looks like description is also.

events":[ { "name":{ "text":" text ", "html":"something " }, "description":{ }, ... }]

In the above, there is an array of events.

Every event has a name, and every name has a "text" and an "html". Every event also has a description, which has it's own fields.

You are on the right track:

public class Event implements Parcelable{

@SerializedName("name")
@Expose
public Name name;

@SerializedName("description")
@Expose
public Description description;


public class Name {

    @SerializedName("text")
    @Expose
    public String eventName;

    public String getEventName() {
        return eventName;
    }
}

public class Description {

   //whatever fields are in the description object in the json
}

.
. some parcelable stuff here
.
}

You would access it like: holder.cardTextView.setText(eventsList.get(position).name.getEventName());

If this works you can clean it up by adding custom getters to the event class.
