trouble getting an object in a json output

Question

I ahve an application where I am using jackson to parse json output (I am using spring for android to make the http REST call).

This is the output of the of the following REST call:

https://api.spreaker.com/v2/users/7725967/episodes?limit=1

{  
   "response":{  
      "items":[  
         {  
            "episode_id":9074409,
            "type":"RECORDED",
            "title":"Seerah",
            "duration":4608260,
            "show_id":1530711,
            "author_id":7725967,
            "site_url":"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/9074409",
            "image_url":"https:\/\/d1bm3dmew779uf.cloudfront.net\/large\/4c3b84b16338c57af8500fea88ef5313.jpg",
            "image_original_url":"https:\/\/d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net\/images.spreaker.com\/original\/4c3b84b16338c57af8500fea88ef5313.jpg",
            "published_at":"2016-07-28 01:07:18",
            "download_enabled":true,
            "waveform_url":"https:\/\/d3770qakewhkht.cloudfront.net\/episode_9074409.gz.json?v=2GDXyK"
         }
      ],
      "next_url":"https:\/\/api.spreaker.com\/v2\/users\/7725967\/episodes?filter=listenable&last_id=9074409&limit=1"
   }
} 

In my application, I make the following rest call (here is the code):

public class HttpRequestTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, RadioInfo> {
        @Override
        protected RadioInfo doInBackground(Void... params) {
            try {
                final String url = "https://api.spreaker.com/v2/users/7725967/episodes?limit=1";
                RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
                ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
                objectMapper.disable(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES);
                restTemplate.getMessageConverters().add(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter());
                //String result = String.valueOf(restTemplate.getForObject(url, RadioInfo.class));
                return restTemplate.getForObject(url, RadioInfo.class);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.e("MainActivity", e.getMessage(), e);
            }

            return null;
        }

the error I get is as follows:

How do I fix this?

UPDATE:

Here is the RadioInfo Class:

public class RadioInfo {

private String episode_id;
private String type;
private String title;

public String getId() {
    return this.episode_id;
}

public String getType() {
    return this.type;
}

public String getTitle() {
    return this.title;
}

}

Answer 1

As per your JSON, Your POJO classes should be:

public class RadioInfo {
    private Response response;
    // getters setters
}

public class Item {
    private Integer episodeId;
    private String type;
    private String title;
    //getter setters
}



public class Response {
    private List<Item> items = new ArrayList<Item>();
    private String nextUrl;
    //getters setters
}

Answer 2

As i see, you are trying to get JSONObject named - "response" The "response" is a JSONArray . Your JSONObject name is "items".
