Here is ApiInterface.java

public interface ApiInterface {

    @GET("bills/")
    Call<SponsorsResult> getListOfSponsors(@Query("bill_id") String billId , @Query("session") String session, @Query("fields") String field);

}

And here is call of method & response :

ApiInterface apiService = ApiClient.getClient().create(ApiInterface.class);

Call<SponsorsResult> call = apiService.getListOfSponsors(AppConstants.ASSEMBLY_BILL_ID,AppConstants.SESSION,AppConstants.FIELD);
call.enqueue(new Callback<SponsorsResult>() {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(Call<SponsorsResult> call, Response<SponsorsResult> response) {

        Log.d(TAG,"Number :" + response.raw());
        List<Sponsor> sponsors = response.body().getSponsors();
        Log.d(TAG,"Number of sponsors :" + sponsors.size());
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(Call<SponsorsResult> call, Throwable t) {
        t.printStackTrace();
    }
});

As of now it fails & here is logcat output :

com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was BEGIN_ARRAY at line 1 column 2 path $

It fails to execute response . Guide me to parse this response.

Please try to use this one

    @FormUrlEncoded
    @POST("api/sponsors")
    Call<List<SponsorsResult>> getStatesAndDistrict(
            @Field("xyz") String field1
    );



   Call <List<SponsorsResult>> call = service.getSponsorsValue();

    call.enqueue(new Callback<List<SponsorsResult>>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(Call<List<SponsorsResult>> call, Response<List<SponsorsResult>> response) {

            List<SponsorsResult> rs = response.body();

        }

        @Override
        public void onFailure(Call<List<SponsorsResult>> call, Throwable t) {

        }
    });



 class SponsorsResult {

    @SerializedName("sponsors")
    private List<SponsorsValue> sponsors;

    public List<SponsorsValue> getSponsors() {
        return sponsors;
    }
}

class SponsorsValue{
    @SerializedName("leg_id")
    @Expose
    private String legId;
    @SerializedName("type")
    @Expose
    private String type;
    @SerializedName("name")
    @Expose
    private String name;

    public String getLegId() {
        return legId;
    }

    public void setLegId(String legId) {
        this.legId = legId;
    }

    public String getType() {
        return type;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
        this.type = type;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

}

Please let me know if you are facing any issue.
