You can clean painlessly the response in your GsonConverter before Gson deserialized the body into type object.
public class CleanGsonConverter extends GsonConverter{
public CleanGsonConverter(Gson gson) {
super(gson);
}
public CleanGsonConverter(Gson gson, String encoding) {
super(gson, encoding);
}
@Override
public Object fromBody(TypedInput body, Type type) throws ConversionException {
String dirty = toString(body);
String clean = dirty.replaceAll("(^\(|\)$)", "");
body = new JsonTypedInput(clean.getBytes(Charset.forName(HTTP.UTF_8)));
return super.fromBody(body, type);
}
private String toString(TypedInput body){
BufferedReader br = null;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line;
try {
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(body.in()));
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (br != null) {
try {
br.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
};
JsonTypedInput:
public class JsonTypedInput implements TypedInput{
private final byte[] mStringBytes;
JsonTypedInput(byte[] stringBytes) {
this.mStringBytes = stringBytes;
}
@Override
public String mimeType() {
return "application/json; charset=UTF-8";
}
@Override
public long length() {
return mStringBytes.length;
}
@Override
public InputStream in() throws IOException {
return new ByteArrayInputStream(mStringBytes);
}
}
Here I subclassed GsonConverter to get access to the response before it is converted to object. JsonTypedOutput is used to preserve the mime type of the response after cleaning it from the junk chars.
Usage:
restAdapterBuilder.setConverter(new CleanGsonConverter(gson));
Blame it on your backend guys. :)
