Reading GSON object is getting null elements

Question

I'm trying to read a jsonObject and insert inside my entity to create a new one entity. The problem is that I'm getting application=null and version=0 and is not the correct data that I have in the json.

This is my code where I trying to use the GSON library:

final Gson gson = new Gson();
VersionDTO jsonObject = gson.fromJson(entity, VersionDTO.class);

try {
    versionFilterService.setVersionDTO(jsonObject);
} catch (ServiceException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

entity is a String that have my json with this format:

{
    "context": {
        "location":{
            "longt":0,
            "lat":0,
            "radius":0
        },
        "accessToken":"asd",
        "notificationToken":"dasda",
        "requestTime":11111111,
        "application":"1 Android Mobile",
        "version":1
    },
    "request":{
        "application":"1 Android Mobile",
        "version":1
    }
}

This is my VersionDTO:

public class VersionDTO {
    int version;
    String application;

    public VersionDTO(int version, String application){
        this.version = version;
        this.application = application;
    }

    public String getApplication() {
        return application;
    }

    public void setApplication(String application) {
        this.application = application;
    }

    public int getVersion() {
        return version;
    }

    public void setVersion(int version) {
        this.version = version;
    }

}

You got to change the VersionDTO to have Request attribute. The Request attribute should have the application and version attributes defined.

You can use this tool to create POJO for JSON.
