Using GSON to json envelop Android

While attempting to read and store a json envelop using GSON library using the 2 lines below, the application crash (see error log). What is wrong with the parsing.

Type listType = new TypeToken<ArrayList<MRechercheResult>>() {}.getType();
        List<MRechercheResult>search_results  = new Gson().fromJson(envelop, listType);

The error log

The model 

public class MRechercheResult {


    public String id_profil;
    public String id_customer;
    public String profil;
    public String profil_photo;
    public String email;
    public String agenda;

    public List<Activite> activite;

}

public class Activite {

    public String day;
    public String from;
    public String to;

}

Hope this helps.. Using gson you need to be careful about the variable name and type :) 

public class MRechercheResult {


        public String id_profil;
        public String id_customer;
        public String profil;
        public String profil_photo;
        public String email;
        public Agenda[] agenda;

        public Activite[] activite;

    }

    public class Activite {

        public String day;
        public String from;
        public String to;

    }

        public class Agenda {
        String day;
        String from;
        String to;
    }

}

Your json does not start with Object. So, I do the following steps:

First: wrap your first Array object with a Object ( I named "example")

{
    "example": [
    {  
      "id_profil":"2",
      "id_customer":"3",
      "profil":"Spartan GYM",
      "profil_photo":"https:\/\/waoo.com\/img\/profil_pic\/job_provider-54b791f46d7b53.09461979.png",
      "email":"",
      "agenda":[  
            ...
      ],
      "activite":[  
      ]  
    },
    {
        ....
    }
    ]
}

Second: define Full.java class:

public class Full {
    public List<Example> example = new ArrayList<>();

    class Example {
        public String id_profil;
        public String id_customer;
        public String profil;
        public String profil_photo;
        public String email;
        public List<Agenda> agenda = new ArrayList<Agenda>();
        public List<Activite> activite = new ArrayList<Activite>();

        class Agenda {

            public String day;
            public String from;
            public String to;

        }

        class Activite {

            public String id_profil_style_activite;
            public String activite_name;

        }
    }
}

Then: define class get data by asynctask:

private class ParseByGson extends AsyncTask<String,Void,Full> {
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
    }

    @Override
    protected Full doInBackground(String... params) {
        Full fullContents = null;
        try {
            URL url=new URL(params[0]);
            InputStreamReader reader=new InputStreamReader(url.openStream(),"UTF-8");
            fullContents=new Gson().fromJson(reader,Full.class);
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return fullContents;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {
        super.onProgressUpdate(values);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Full results) {
        super.onPostExecute(results);
        Log.e(">>",results.example.get(0).id_customer+"--"+results.example.get(0).activite.get(0).activite_name+"--"+results.example.get(0).agenda.get(0).day+"--");
    }
}

Finally, use it:

ParseByGson parseByGson = new ParseByGson();
parseByGson.execute(url_of_your_json);

agenda is an array of another json object not a string .. change your agenda type in MRechercheResult class.. use http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/ to generate pojo classes for json string

You are missing a Backslash escape in second url.

it should be https:\/\/ instead of https:\/\
