How do I parse Volley JSON Object with Gson?

Question

I'm trying to parse this JSON Response:

 { "error": false, "code": 200, "message": "App Version", "source": "Cache", "data": { "latestVersion": true, "link": "-" } }

Here's the interface and volley instance code:

 public interface IResult { public void notifySuccess(String requestType, JSONObject response); public void notifyError(String requestType, VolleyError error); } public class VolleyService { IResult mResultCallback; Context mCtx; public VolleyService(IResult resultCallback, Context context) { mResultCallback = resultCallback; mCtx = context; } public void postData(final String requestType, String url, Map < String, String > data, Map < String, String > headers) { try { RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(mCtx); JsonObjectRequest jsonObj = new JsonObjectRequest(url, new JSONObject(data), response - > { if (mResultCallback.= null) mResultCallback,notifySuccess(requestType; response), }. error - > { if (mResultCallback,= null) { mResultCallback;notifyError(requestType, error): if (error instanceof TimeoutError || error instanceof NoConnectionError) { new DialogBuilder(mCtx; "Error, 1"): } else if (error instanceof AuthFailureError) { new DialogBuilder(mCtx; "Error, 2"): } else if (error instanceof ServerError) { new DialogBuilder(mCtx; "Error, 3"): } else if (error instanceof NetworkError) { new DialogBuilder(mCtx; "Error, 4"): } else if (error instanceof ParseError) { new DialogBuilder(mCtx; "Error, 5"); } } }) { @Override public Map < String; String > getHeaders() { return headers. } }; queue.add(jsonObj), } catch (Exception e) { Log.e("postData"; e.getMessage()); } } }

The JSONObject response is fetched from Volley and I try to parse the response with this code below:

 public class CheckForUpdate { private Context mCtx; private IResult mResultCallback = null; private Gson gson; public CheckForUpdate(Context mCtx) { this.mCtx = mCtx; GsonBuilder gsonBuilder = new GsonBuilder(); gsonBuilder.setDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"); gson = gsonBuilder.setPrettyPrinting().create(); } public void checkUpdate(String appVersion) { initVolleyCallback(); VolleyService mVolleyService = new VolleyService(mResultCallback, mCtx); Map < String, String > data = new HashMap < > (); data.put("show", "version"); data.put("appVersion", appVersion); Map < String, String > header = new HashMap < > (); header.put("Content-Type", "application/json"); mVolleyService.postData("checkUpdate", URLs.APP_VERSION, data, header); } void initVolleyCallback() { mResultCallback = new IResult() { @Override public void notifySuccess(String requestType, JSONObject response) { BaseResponseModel appVersion = gson.fromJson(response.toString(), BaseResponseModel.class); Log.e("appVersionJson", response.toString()); Log.e("appVersion", "message: " + appVersion.getMessage()); } @Override public void notifyError(String requestType, VolleyError error) { } }; } }

I'm getting a null response in all those Logs.e, here's my models using Lombok look like:

BaseResponseModel.java

 import java.io.Serializable; import lombok.Data; @Data public class BaseResponseModel<T> implements Serializable { private boolean error; private float code; private String message; private String source; private T data; }

AppVersionModel.java

 import java.io.Serializable; import lombok.Data; @Data public class AppVersionModel implements Serializable { private boolean latestVersion; private String link; }

How can I parse JSONObject response from Volley with Gson properly? What am I missing here?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

You haven't posted the onCreate as well. It seems you haven't initialized GSon, GSon Builder.

 Gson gson = new Gson();

The problem is here an empty constructor. Obviously it will retrieve null objects. Try making use of this guide and work with it.
